Player's Guide to Kaidan

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Far to the east lie the cursed islands of Kaidan. There the dead rest uneasy, the undying rule with absolute power, cruel samurai oppress the people, savage demons roam the wilderness, shapeshifting creatures fill the forests and not even death is an escape. Locked in an broken cycle of death and rebirth, Kaidan is a land in need of light. It is a land in need of heroes.

Kaidan is a fantasy role-playing setting of Japanese horror presented for use with The Pathfinder® Roleplaying Game. Drawing extensively and specifically on the history and folklore of Japan, Kaidan is a setting both familiar and yet disturbingly unique.

The Kaidan Players Guide provides an extensive overview of this tragic realm, it’s people, and the dark curse that has afflicted the archipelago for hundreds of years.

Within the pages of this tome you’ll find:

*A description of the major races of Kaidan: Humans, Yokai, Koropokkuru, Kappa and Kitsune.

*A brief history and description of the reliogions of Kaidan. 

*A new player class: Necrotic Warrios, highly skilled combatants that use negative energies as tools to be bent to their own wills. 

…All sufficient to enable and inspire you to play through innumerable adventures of subtle horror and dark magic in an exotic land of samurai and oni. 

Print Option Coming Soon:**Please note that while this is listed as color, that the color used in the book is text accents only. The interior art is black and white as was done by design.**

Hi. I'm The Xiao from Paizo's forums, and I just started a Topic on the forums about playing Kaidan. I was doing some sample characters and noticed that the Kitsune mention magic buyable with feats, but I couldn't find anything beyond that. I really would have liked a In the Company of Kitsune book, but I suppose that wouldn't be possible anymore. But please, is there anywhere I can find these tricks? Or should I just use Paizo's magical tails?

Still waiting on the print on demand option. Noticed that the page count needs listed in the description. Religions is
miss spelled (in the bullet section within the pages you'll find). The one review that is currently up does list the page count, although a casual browser of the site might miss that. Also, the within the pages of this tome section should include a bullet point mentioning new weapons, armor, and equipment for the setting being included. The full size preview was not working when I wrote this. The quick preview is only showing the cover. Kaidan is a really rich and interesting setting with deep levels of horror, beyond the usual. A real under the radar gem.

Kaidan is an amazing setting and needs more recognition. It has a lot to offer and just does not get the press it deserves. I would like to see this setting continue to grow/expand.

They are still producing PDFs. Come on Rite Publishing, gives us the P.O.D. of this! I want to finally add it to my collection. Your stuff deserves to be immortalized in print! ESPECIALLY any and all things KAIDAN!

It saddens me to see a Kaidan book sit at less than five stars. Yeah some editing mistakes happen in the books, yet I find the material so captivating that I don't even notice, unless someone else points out the mistake to me. I have been excited about the Kaidan PHB since hearing it was going to be a thing. I prefer print and have been holding out for it. At this point even my tax return is gone. Was in hopes that I would be able to get this in print as soon as it became available as a print on demand. At this point I just hope it does eventually become POD. I am starting to think that they have given up on the setting. It is perhaps my favorite setting with truly unique and haunting material. Still not going for the PDF.

I really hope the print on demand version is available very soon. If they are waiting to print it in the new Pathfinder edition rules then that would be a huge insult to the Kaidan fans that have thus far bought everything in the old Pathfinder edition rules set.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
