But what about those scenes? What stories are being told? What old legends are being discovered, and what new ones are being forged? Who are the villains, the allies, the traitors, the lovers, the monsters, and the gods? Who runs the world? When you’re the Game Master, that’s all up to you! — GM Core Here you will find the basics of what it means to be a GM and guidance from the authors on how to use the book. They help you choose your tools whether you are a new GM, running a published adventure, making your own, or just need items. RUNNING THE GAME As Game Master, you run each session of Pathfinder, providing the link between the players and the world of the game. It’s up to you to set the scene as the player characters battle monsters, interact with other people, and explore new locations. — GM Core This chapter provides tools to create a welcoming environment, prepare adventures, create characters, and plan and run sessions. You will find one of the best guides in the industry on special considerations, running encounters, exploration, downtime, difficulty classes, and rewards. You will also find sidebars on topics such as Tools for Responsible Play, Collaboration During Play, and more! BUILDING GAMES Game Mastering can be an extremely creative endeavor, and this chapter gives you a suite of tools to make your own campaign or adventure. You can even create your own creatures, hazards, and items to populate your game, or even make your own game world! — GM Core This chapter covers everything you need to build an adventure of your own, from campaign structure to encounter design, world building, variant rules, and more.

Build your own hazards, items, and creatures using GM Core’s in-depth developer advice and mathematical benchmarks. The Rewards section gives you all you need to distribute Experience Points, Hero Points, and treasure throughout your campaign. AGE OF LOST OMENS Ten thousand years ago, the world of Golarion came close to ending. Earthfall, as this extinction-level event came to be known, saw the world pummeled by a shower of falling stars that sank continents, hollowed out new seas, and destroyed civilizations. It took centuries for the world to recover, and centuries more for society to rebuild, but recover it did. — GM Core Though the Building Games chapter includes everything you need to create your game world, the Age of Lost Omens is a fully developed setting that’s ready to use and has vast amounts of support across Paizo’s adventures and Lost Omens books. Explore the Inner Sea Region and beyond, learning about the rich cultures, religions, and factions therein. Use tools like nation and settlement stat blocks to understand our locations or flesh out your own realms. This chapter also covers extraplanar setting elements, taking your campaign into the Great Beyond. SUBSYSTEMS When your game goes into uncharted territory or you want to emphasize an element of gameplay that usually gets overlooked or condensed into a single check, you can use a subsystem. As the name implies, subsystems are extensions of the main rules system that allow you to explore a particular topic or style of play at your table. — GM Core Part of Pathfinder’s robust game engine lies in its ability to explore elements of gameplay that are not always in the forefront. The Subsystems chapter gives Game Masters a diverse set of tools to tackle any in-game challenge and to track progress on tasks using Victory Points. Where some systems may leave you in the lurch wondering “what should my players roll for this?”, Pathfinder’s subsystems provide support for Game Masters and players alike. Subsystems covered in this chapter include Influence, Research, Infiltration, Dueling, and more. TREASURE TROVE Characters acquire treasure from the glittering hoards of their foes, as rewards for defending the innocent, and as favors from the grand personalities they treat with. As they progress through their adventures and improve their station in the world, characters collect ever more fabulous items, from enchanted armor and weapons to spell-infused wands and staves. — GM Core The Treasure Trove is a Game Master’s guide of alchemical and magical items and how to use them. Not only does this chapter cover a large range of treasure - ranging from potions and magical staves to apex items and more - but it’s also a comprehensive guide to reading item stat blocks and understanding how items work. Finally, GM Core is complete with Treasure Table, Glossary, and Index sections as additional tools for you to use on the fly. Inside GM Core you’ll find the guidance you need to build and run the fantastic stories you wish to tell!
