In 2008, Paizo changed the roleplaying scene forever with the announcement of Pathfinder, its fantasy RPG created from the DNA of Dungeons & Dragons 3.5, which initially divided the opinion of fans then awaiting D&D‘s controversial fourth edition that the ambitious newcomer purposefully rebelled against. Pathfinder went on to become a roleplaying giant of its own, becoming the first RPG to outsell D&D in more than 30 years and inspiring further adventures, tabletop spin-offs, video games, tie-in novels and countless other additions that expanded the universe.
