Fantasy Grounds Releases Monster Core 2 Pack For Pathfinder 2

Fantasy Grounds launched its Monster Core 2 content pack for Pathfinder 2 on November 11, 2025, making Paizo’s 376 page Monster Core 2 book available inside the Fantasy Grounds virtual tabletop. The release adapts the hardcover into a fully integrated compendium, with more than 300 creature writeups, eight new dragons, refreshed versions of classic monsters, original artwork, and automation designed to work with Fantasy Grounds features.

The product page on Steam clarified that the Monster Core 2 offering is a Fantasy Grounds content pack and not a standalone PDF. The listing also included system requirements and pricing information for the pack, and noted that the material will integrate with Fantasy Grounds automation and compendium systems. For virtual tabletop groups that already run games on Fantasy Grounds the pack promises ready made stat blocks, searchable entries, and automated mechanics that reduce manual bookkeeping at the table.

Monster Core 2 served as a major bestiary release for the Pathfinder 2 remaster, and the Fantasy Grounds adaptation specifically incorporates the remaster errata. That alignment matters to hobbyists who want creature statistics and behaviors to match updated rules, and who are converting published adventures or building original campaigns that rely on the remaster ruleset. Because the content pack brings both updated text and automation, it lowers the barrier to using the newest monster versions in online play.

For game masters the chief benefits are time savings and consistency. Ready made monsters with automated attacks, conditions, and abilities can be dragged into encounters, saving repeated transcriptions and reducing the chance of rule errors during play. The inclusion of artwork and compendium entries also aids session pacing, making it easier to present creatures visually while maintaining quick access to mechanics. Groups that run indexed libraries of creatures will find the Fantasy Grounds compendium a convenient place to organize and reuse Monster Core 2 entries.

The release also highlights the continuing collaboration model between publishers and virtual tabletop platforms. As major Pathfinder releases move into digital formats, VTT conversions will increasingly determine how quickly tables can take new material online. The Steam product page indicates Fantasy Grounds remains committed to supporting official Paizo content inside its automation framework, while also clearly positioning the pack as an add on for users of the Fantasy Grounds platform.

Enthusiasts contemplating the purchase should review the Steam listing for system requirements and pricing, and confirm compatibility with their Fantasy Grounds license. For active Pathfinder 2 communities, the Monster Core 2 content pack offers a practical route to bring the remaster bestiary into streamlined online play.
