Is there a possibility of GM tools being included with Pathfinder 2.0 August beta test?

What do you mean by GM tools? The Encounter Builder, Encounter Libraries, Tactical Console, stuff like that?

Hi Aaron,
Yes, that is what I was thinking of, Encounter Builder, Encounter Libraries, Tactical Console. Being able to give out XP and treasure parcels, buff/debuff, and stuff like that. Any thoughts?

While we do have a basic roadmap, we don't have release dates for the items on the map at this time. The HLO items we hope to have out this year are as follows, in no particular order. This, of course, excludes new systems such as the Playtest that we will be unveiling at Gen Con.


• Offline Read-only Mode
• Full-text search of content
• Custom Extensions for 3rd party access
• Multi-Character Dashboard
• Tactical Console GMs
• Encounter Builder
• Encounter library
• Tactical Console for GM PC management
• Better organized play support
• Party tactile Console Interaction
• Starships
• Party Loot Management


Hope that helps!

Aaron, would it be possible to add a package that precharged for 6 months of online time at a time as I don't like month to month. Will Pathfinder 2E have the Editor?

You can only currently buy in 6 month or 1 year amounts. Many people are asking for month to month but not yet.

Will Pathfinder 2E have the Editor?
Eventually all HLO supported games will but for sure not for the playtest. Maybe by the time 2E comes out at 2019 GenCon.

As ShadowChemosh says, the current paradigm is 6 or 12 months at a time. As for the user created content support, that will be something that probably comes online for all game systems at around the same time. I don't know anything about the timeline there, that's beyond my baliwick, sorry!

I misunderstood.
