I'm relatively new to Pathfinder and mostly lurk on these forums. I specifically logged into my account today after receiving the "Rulebooks Lite" notification email to say THANK YOU to the team at Paizo for drastically increasing the value of my purchase of the PDFs, encouraging me to purchase more of the books I'm missing in my collection.

Thanks again for considering your customers' needs and improving your product so significantly even after my transaction with you had completed months ago. Paizo has proven itself time and time again to be a firm worth supporting.

Good Morning All!

So today's the big day. My first adventure is being run tonight; I'll be running my small gaming team through character creation/review, might swing by our local gaming store to buy fancy new dice, and then start Black Fang's Dungeon.

I own the BB in both physical and digital formats, as it seems to me that having a digital copy helps for things like iPad use and to be able to print out maps and things like that for ease of display to the players during the game. To that end, I had a couple of questions regarding how experienced GM's handle the use of digital content in their games:

1) I'm assuming it's within my rights to print out pages of that digital file in the manner described above as part of my purchase. I'd like to KNOW that it's within my rights vs. merely assuming and thought the community might be able to shed some light on this.

2) Assuming the answer to Question 1 is "Of course you can print this stuff out for use in your game", here's my REAL question: There's quite a bit of AWESOME art that's in these books that I'd like to show my player(s) (say for example the picture of the Pillar on Page 10), but I'm stuck trying to awkwardly show this picture while covering up all of the GM-only text. Is there a way to LEGALLY extract images from these PDF's for printing to display while running the game?

I don't want to do anything outside of what's appropriate, but if there's a way to do this that's approved by Paizo, I'd love to show this material off during my game to enhance my players' ability to visualize the environment they are exploring.

Thanks for your time.

I now own the Bestiary, GameMastery Guide, and Core Rulebook plus several adventure modules and the first part of Rise of the Runelords. :)

I'm heading down the same road. Even before my first session (scheduled for Thursday), my brother's expressed an interest in some options not available in the BB. So now I'm the proud owner of the Core Rules as well.

The "BB as a gateway drug" strategy seems to be working as intended. :)

Thanks for all of the help guys! Great stuff here. I made the right choice going with Pathfinder.

I'll make sure to post to let you know how the 1st session goes!

Hello all,

I've been a longtime lurker on these messageboards, former D&D 2nd Edition player as a kid, and recent purchaser of the Pathfinder Beginner Box.

Despite the fact that many of the posters here tend to view the BB as "rules lite for ease of introducing a new generation to RPG's", I love it for the reason that it's also "rules lite for people that were intimidated by the time requirement to learn the full game" like me. I'm getting close to running my first adventure in 20 years with me as GM and my brother as my lone player for now (one more player hopefully inbound by April), and was hoping to get some advice from the team about planning out out "learn the ropes" adventures:
