Well I managed to hit Troll and Toad and pickup mine. However my wife apparently under the happy pregnant hormone level today stopped into a different store and picked one up as well. She did this last year too so I may just start planning on getting something else when I pick mine up. However if she didn't pick it up I would screwed for having grabbed something else.
Great looking book and the few entries I have read were great. I will be finishing it up tonight after I now the lawn.
I also picked up Dungeon Denizens revised it too is a great book.

Now, I'm not married so have no real life experience in these things, but maybe you two could ya know, talk about it before hand? Just a thot. ;)
I snagged mine today from Evolution Games in Lansing, Michigan. It was about an hour road trip for us, so we consumed mass quantities of caffeine and hit the road. Arrived a half hour before opening and hung out in the parking lot. Made our way in and were the first to the free stuff table.
There before me lay two available bestiaries. Whoo Hoo. But talk about some reserved copies eh? Does anyone know actually how many copies came in each box? Any how my crew proceed to walk out with enough retail to pay for his box o' free stuff with the profits. Free RPG Day works, folks. :D
My copy is beautiful and in my opinion a damn fine selection of monsters and top notch art as always. The product is less than 20 pages and I am a happy satisfied person! Let that stand unto itself.
I hope everyone else got the groovy stuff they wanted. And thanks again to Paizo for offering up a quality product for free.

Got my copies today at Time Machine Hobbies in Manchester, CT today. I got one and my wife got one and my son got one as well. It all great. I can't wait for the actual Beastiary to come out.
Though I have a question behind the spoiler:

Well we do talk about it. She knew I was going to Free RPG Day but she likes to surprise me with D&D stuff all the time. Last year the store I went to had a strict one per customer policy and she was able to get me some stuff from a different store. This year both stores had a liberal policy and so I ended up with more stuff. She also snagged me a copy of Classic Monsters Revisited and the Guide to Absalom.
I sent my husband this morning, and he got there before the store opened and waited. The sales clerk mentioned to him how excited she was about Pathfinder and how she couldn't wait for August! Good Paizo buzz!
EDIT: Mairkurion, which Lone Star did you go to? We went to the one in south Arlington.
I went to the one on Mockingbird. On my way back from DFW, where I was dropping off some friends, I stopped at the one in Irving to get my daughter a copy (she's stuck at work today AND in MN--doubly cursed), only to discover that one went kaput.

Hummm you have a store in richmand? where at?
Got mine at Games Plus in Mount Prospect, IL - they seem to have ordered 2 or more boxes of Free RPG Day stuff, and were letting people take 2 items. Got the Bestiary and the Hero Lab CD.
The BB is great, and lots of nice rules tidbits in there. I particularly like how leadership can be used to gain monster companions and uses the druid animal companion rules for them, and the implication that Shield Guardians are now a template that can be applied to any golem. The special situational modifiers for outsiders being called with planar ally or planar binding are also cool.
XP being listed next to CR will be very useful, as well as the treasure value in gp. I noticed that the advancement entry is gone, but I assume general rules for that exist.
I was a bit confused by the ascomoid having improved overrun though - since it has trample, would it ever need to use overrun instead? Speaking of overrun, the CMB rules seem to indicate that bull rush and overrun are now part of your move action, which should make them a lot more useful since you won't have to give up your standard action to use them.
Looked like the local store here wasn't very busy today. Got mine with many to spare. Hope they get them all out to people.
So unfair -- mine didn't participate at all, and it's part of the biggest RPG store chain around here (in fact, it's the only one that has also 'brick-and-mortar' stores).
Did I understood correctly that I can't order a print copy from Paizo? Because since I *cannot* get a free copy, I would gladly pay for a book.
Should be available here Monday-ish.Looked like the local store here wasn't very busy today. Got mine with many to spare.

Oh, that's great! I hope I'll be quick enough to grab a print copy... :)
I drove to the nearest store. Got there when it opened. They opened up the boxes. They got twice as many of one item and no Bestiaries ... I nearly cried. Twas the only thing I wanted to get from Free RPG Day ... 2 hours of driving for nothing.That's... odd. We were told there beforehand that there would be a minimum of ten copies of the Bestiary per box, and after the boxes were packed, we were told that they did hit over 10. (I think it was actually more like 15.) Who's the store?
It was GrandLAN Gaming in Grand Rapids, MI. We were there when they were opening the packages and and they ended up with 30 of one of the books and no Bestiary. There were 4 of us there just for that. We were all pretty bummed out. The guys at the store were really confused, but all they could say was sorry.
I live in such a pit of utter abject lack of culture that my FLGS's are Paizo, RPGNow, and ebay.....
ONE STORE in Louisiana is participating and it is on the WRONG END OF THE STATE!! I was shocked to see no entry for Little Wars in BR, unless they've closed and I didn't know about it. Of course, they are on the wrong end of the state, as well.
Little Wars is not closed, but it does have a new owner who took over just a few months ago. However, they have not really been stocking a lot of Pathfinder stuff yet.

It's 11:15 PM Saturday night and all I see is the PDF is currently unavailable.
So does this mean we have to wait until Monday evening after work to download the free PDF? I really didn't want to miss the freebie! :(
What deity must I appease to be sure I obtain this elusive PDF?
They have said the PDF and a limited number of print copies will be up to buy Monday afternoon PST.
Extremely well selected creatures, marvelously updated to new Pathfinder RPG rules, lavishly illustrated, excitingly explained (in terms of the new game rules).
This was the highlight of everyone's excitement today! Thank you, PAIZO. P.s. Gamestore owners are eagerly awaiting Pathfinder RPG - and two have told me they wished it were already here! (P.s. 3.5 has also been selling quite a bit in association with the adventure paths.)
You are #1, my friends.
Well done indeed.

This post reminded me of something. One of the local stores i stopped at today. Had before had a clearence sale to sell all their back stock of 3.5e stuff. Today i noticed they had not a lot but a number of 3.5 stuff, when i asked about it. They said they had gotten enough requests for it that they tracked down some of the products and ordered more.
I was honestly surprised by that. For the record it was mostly WotC stuff with some GR and Mongoose stuff. Not counting their seperate pathfinder section.

Talking with the gal behind the counter at the local GS today, and she told me that there have been several people coming in to unload used 4E books in order to trade them for 3.5 used stock. I'm thinking they're still selling a good amount of 4E books, because the section is quite large, but apparently several D&D players have expressed their dissatisfaction with the new version.
Going to get this had me going to a local game shop I didn't even know existed. I might have to go back sometime, though. It was a pretty nice little place. And something that did kind of surprise me was that it had given about equal space in its shelving units to Pathfinder stuff and 4E. It seems that they're both doing pretty well.
I also snagged the 4E module and Paranoia book. I'm not too much of a 4E fan, but I do like Eberron and the module's plot can always be adapted to 3.5. Plus, the tile section it came with can work with any version of D&D. I would've grabbed the free dice too, but what's the point of a set of two polyhedron dice that doesn't even have a d20 in it?
