This could solve the whole 3.5 vs 4.0 debacle! Please more information as soon as possible. Paizo, you seriously have just made my day!

420 pages!!??! WOW

Awesome! Very, very excited! As its own system, I think I now have my 2009 and beyond RPG-of-choice. Thanks, Paizo!

PS
Any chance of getting autographed copies?

*happy dances*

Thank you Paizo! You have made an old (style) gamer very happy today! I was dreading the possibility of me having to get out of fantasy roleplaying altogether once i ran out of the published material I had (have no real interest in learning a whole new system). You have just saved my game and ensured a very loyal customer for years to come. I look forward to the new system and have just placed an order for the new book!

This is just too awesome. I saw the announcement after coming home from gaming last night and was thrilled. Even more excited this morning! I've preordered this and the beta hardcopy as well.

Good luck Paizo!

As soon as I was told about the Pathfinder set-up, I had to get on the website and check it out for my self. I’m new to the Piazo family, but love what I have seen so far.
The fact that the huge sums of money that I have put into the 3.5 system will not be going to waste is great!
I’m also exited about the additional tweaks being made to the system. The expanded abilities for the cleric and wizard classes look very interesting.
I’m looking forward to Pathfinder with an excitement, as opposed to the looming dread that 4.0 has created with me and many of my gaming friends.
Thank you all so much for keeping a great system alive and my subscription to the magazine is on the way!

esta bueno el manual pero deberian de cambiar lo de los puntajes de los rangos de los skills, en ves de hacerlo automata como lo hace saga, hacerlo por el medio clasico de reparticion de puntos de skills, lo unico que tendrian que arreglar solo es la tabla de rangos por nivel.

asi no se vuelve muy mecanico y carente del factor creativo del jugador, lo cual es lo malo que ha tenido Starwars saga en ese lado, los skills muy mecanisados y monotonos en ves de arreglarlo de una forma mas fluida

O_o

Any chance of this getting out to us before GenCon Indy '09? It'd be great to not only be able to have a booth and sell the product to GenCon goers but also bring my copy and have you guys sign it.

Oh... even better is if I could set up a 3.75 game to run at GenCon..

We intend to release it *at* Gen Con Indy '09. In an ideal world, we'll ship paizo.com preorders shortly before the show.

Thanks Vic! That seems like an excellent idea as well. If it is ready for GenCon '09 do you (Paizo) have any ideas set up for playtesting at the convention? Games, encounter runs.. etc..

I have resisted the forked tongued devils trying to push me to 4th edition. I have steeled my resolve and resisted, and for my rewards a light has shone down upon me and revealed in all it's glory this product.

Like finding your first magic item, I will savor opening the 420 pages and smelling the fresh print and know I made the right choice, new is not always better, but this is one of the exceptions.

To the abyss with you 4th edition, you will not capture my soul with your honey flavored lies!

I cannot wait to attain this book, for inside is all that glitters.

HH.

p.s. Our D&D group switched to the Pathfinder adventures after our DM of 15+ years disappeared on us, and so far we love it.

august 2009? i still need to finish my current homebrew campaign...then play Age of Worms... then play Savage Tide... then play Rise of the Runelords... then Curse of the Crimson Throne... and really wanted to give a shot at Star Wars Saga... aw my gawd... so much to play... so little time...

maybe i could be done by the time DnD 25th edition comes out... aw well...

We're passing on GenCon this year but you BET we'll be there will bells on in 09.

It's less expensive than the 3.5 core rulebooks it replaces, and it serves as the foundation for decades of roleplaying enjoyment.

That's more like it. Awesome.

Is this in 2008 or 2009? It says Pre-order July 2008.....

ALVAREZZZZZ! Control yer robot!

A "quick" time line is needed here.....

Mid Last year a friend introduced me to Dungeon Magazine (and I must admit to being very ashamed of that fact - been playing D&D and others since 1980)

shortly after - found out that Paizo was bumped by WotC

yesterday talked to a Game Shop owner who mentioned Pathfinder (he told me that it was a "new version of Dungeon" and that Paizo was going to be putting out a "3.75 version"

I then went home and looked up Paizo on the internet and have been reading the Alpha and the two released arcs constantly since. (GF will not be happy when I tell her that I will be getting back into DMing ;) )

Great news and awaiting with baited breath

Welcome aboard, Arda Badgerhill.

Simple question here...maybe it was answered in the boards not sure.

On the Equipment section...will it contain everything from the PHB and the Players Guide's for the various AP's as well as new equipment?

I also have the same question when it comes to spells.

I'm curious if I'm still going to need my PHB along with this.

Thanks!

Does anyone know if they plan on releasing a PDF version?

One of my projects after the PRPG's release is combine all the spells I'll allow into my game in one huge binder for easy acces/reference. Being able to copy and paste the spells from my rulebook of choice would greatly speed up the process.

Still have the print version on pre-order by the way.

Does anyone know if they plan on releasing a PDF version?

the PDF of the finished product in August '09 will be available for purchase.

As for replying this quickly, on a Saturday, I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

I appreciate how Paizo treats the public.

Thank you.

A question about the Pathfinder RPG cover: Is that the final version or just a mock-up? I really like the cover art, btw. But is it really going to be orange/reddish? The gray of the Alpha and the beige of the Beta look a lot more stylish IMO. Goes better with the winter-themed artwork, too.

The Beta has been wonderful and we're looking forward to purchasing the hardcover. This is the game we've been wanting to play. Thanks so much for all the terrific Pathfinder material.

Is there any news regarding this being on the Chronicles subscription and/or free PDFs with purchase?

Any discussion on a limited print run, lettered or numbered, with signatures...?

Chaosium does this with their CoC rules, as do other small publishers with various books. The books are usually quite expensive, but exceptional.

And randomly inserted golden tickets for a day-long tour of the Paizo offices, cleverly disguising a quest to find an heir?

Is this part of any subscription?

Nope. It's its own thing.

Dang, I was hoping to get the book & a pdf copy of the rules as well.

Vic

I hope so, I like having the hardcopies, but lately most of my rpg gaming is done sitting in front of my computer & such, so it would be nice to be able reference those rules off the computer & such.

& I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I hate having to pay twice for the same product & such.

thanks for the reply

Hrmm. The hardcover would indicate that Dwarves are a mere foot shorter than humans (on average), while the height tables in the RotRL and CotCT Player's guides indicate an average difference of a foot and a half.

Does the CS override the older player's guides, or should this be chalked up to rounding?

I believe that there will be ways that some people will qualify for a free PDF, but I don't think it's concrete yet.

Possibly for Subscribers (Superscribers) who also order the book?

will this be the actual cover, or will there be new cover art?

Incredible marketing move folks. I think you have secured quite a large customer base. Those of us who prefer not to adjust our D&D experiences to drastically, both from a player and DM perspective. I was extremely dismayed when i heard about the 4.0 revision and the changes that were made. I have play tested the Pathfinder Alpha & Beta releases and it has surely secured my loyalty and that of my gamers for quite a long while yet. My sincere thanks for supporting your roleplay comrades the world over by tweaking the 3.5 rules. Long live Pathfinder and Paizo!!

Paizo Paizo Paizo, well done.

I just checked over the beta -- it looks terrific. I note the final version will clock in at 560 pages, 150 pages over the beta.

That's a significant addition. Anyone have thoughts on what might be included?
