Pathfinder 3pp Top Ten, June 4, 2016

Every week Paizo sends out an email detailing the happenings of the Paizo store. This includes top 10 lists of what sells on their stores. Each week I'll be focusing on the list, 'Top 10 downloads from other companies' and commenting on the rise of the companies involved and changes of the list as well as new and trending products that catch my attention.

Here is the Top Ten list.


1. One on One Adventures Compendium - Expeditious Retreat Press


2. Kineticists of Porphyra 3 - Purple Duck Games


3. Kineticists of Porphyra - Purple Duck Games


4. Kineticists of Porphyra 2 - Purple Duck Games


5. In the Company of Treants - Rite Publishing


6. Everyman Options Kineticists - Rogue Genius Games


7. In the Company of Dragons - Rite Publishing


8. Ultimate Psionics - Dreamscarred Press


9. The Genius Guide to the Talented Cleric - Rogue Genius Games


10. Path of War Expanded - Dreamscarred Press

One on One Adventures is at the top this week. This products facilitates play with 1 GM and 1 Player allowing you to keep going when you're short on players. Its also very thoughtful of the needs and limitations of types of classes for the adventures.

This week is also another week of Kineticist Domination. The Kineticists of Porphyra series has been a top seller since I first started these weekly overviews back in March with Everyman Options: Kineticists joining the list more recently. All give new options to the Kineticist class including, new feats, new wild talents and new archetypes.

Rite Publishing hits the list this week with two race books, one for Treants and one for Dragons. In the Company of Dragons has been a high seller for a while, but In the Company of Treants is rather new, with a new paragon class and three different races of Treants. Rite Pubilshing's race books never fail to have satisfying crunch and beautiful fluff.

Dreamscarred Press has been out of the list a few times in the past few weeks but since last week they have a solid stand with the ever popular Ultimate Psionics, and relatively new expansions to the popular Path of War book, Path of War Expanded.

 Rogue Genius Games continues with it's popular Talented line with the Cleric class getting the treatment this time. The Talented series takes paizo classes and breaks their class features and archetypes down to a series of edges and talents that you select piecemeal in order to get the kind of character you really want without the fuss.


As far as other things catching my eye this week:

Abandoned Arts, under Fat Goblin Games has put out a Spell Power: Animated Object, a book of feats to interact with the Animated Object spell. 

Legendary Games joins in with the Kineticist trend with Legendary Kineticists. This product boasts over 150 new options for the Kineticist, including new blasts and talents but also new archetypes for other classes. Also from Legendary Games is the third part of their Trail of the Apprentice adventure, The Thieves Den. Its important to know that this series is a part of a line of adventures meant for beginning players and particularly compatible with the Beginner Box.

Continuing their supplemental support of Spheres of Power, Dropdead Studios now has the Enhancer's Handbook. This product has a lot of bang for the buck, introducing new talents for the Enhancement Sphere, five new archetypes for both Spheres of Power and Paizo classes. feats and expansions on animated object monsters.

Zenith Games now has Superhero Classes allowing you to play as a Superhuman, Animalman or Telepath.

Coming out from their kickstarter is Total Party Kill Games' Wardens of the Wild, a 200+ page book all about elves with more lore and options for elves for both Pathfinder and Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition.

Well that's it for this week. I'll see you next week with more looks at Paizo's top ten list as well as new and trending Pathfinder products that should be on your radar.

  1. The popularity of the One-on-One-Adventures book amazes me. This is literally the oldest third party product for the Pathfinder RPG. It's weird that it's now getting resurgence, six years after its release.

    1. Totally agreed here. I want to check it out later, but what a storming comeback for this book! I guess that just speaks to its quality.
