The Pathfinder RPG Rules!

The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Beta Release is ready!

More than 25,000 people have already downloaded the Alpha release of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, and Thursday, August 14 is the release date for the FREE 408-page Beta release PDF. And for those wishing to have a beautiful full-color version of this mammoth book on your gaming table, we're also offering a printed edition of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, which begins shipping on August 13!

This standalone fantasy RPG is an evolution of the 3.5 OGL rules, designed to bring your fantasy campaigns to new heights of adventure!
