In case you've already seen this, I mistakingly posted it in the PFRGP General section. Oops.
.....Anyway.....

Hello, first time poster here. I hope I'm received with open arms as I really love the system after buying the core rules and gamemastery guide.

What I'd like to find out is if the novels are available as audiobooks.

I suffer from migraines and can't use always screens for eBooks or even be in light so I can't always read the real books either.

If they came as audiobooks it would be awesome. I really want to know their tales but as someone who can't always read from sight (either due to sitting in an unlit room or inability to use screens) an audiobook would be the best option.

As a followup question, I'd also like to know if there's a way to download the digital copy of a book I've previously purchased as a softbound novel. Sometimes I am able to use our iPad without it setting off my migraines. I've bought the books, is there a way to view them digitally as well? Or do I have to repurchase them as eBooks as well if I need to read them in multiple mediums.

The audiobook option is clearly the best but if there's a way to have both other options available without buying both it would help. It wouldn't be a solution to my migraine+reading problem, but it could help.

Thanks in advance, I'm really looking forward to enjoying their stories no matter which medium I end up having to use.

I'd totally buy audio books of Pathfinder Tales narrated by Wil Wheaton or vin diesel!

...Or anybody... if they're not actually available yet.

If you subscribe to the Pathfinder Tales line, you get ePub copies of the novels in your subscription.

Epubs of all the Pathfinder Tales are also available here in the shop, including the AP fiction and the web fiction.

Aside from that, the only audiobook I know of for the Pathfinder Tales line is James Sutter's "Faithful Servants" which was done as a podcast on Starship Sofa.

Can I have a link to that Pathfinder Tales line to subscribe?

koesherbacon, unless you are a subscriber, you will need to repurchase the ebooks. If you choose to subscribe, you will receive a digital copy (pdf and epub) of each novel on the day it ships from the warehouse.

From an old Audiobook Thread:

I'd love to see this - I'm personally addicted to Audible.com, as are several other Paizonians - but unfortunately audiobooks cost a LOT of money to do right (one of the reasons they're so expensive). If somebody big approaches us someday with a quality offer, I suspect we might go for it, but I seriously doubt Paizo will be producing its own audiobooks anytime soon.

(Of course, if Lisa DOES decide to build a recording studio, I'll be in there every weekend anyway... maybe I can be fiction editor and chief sound engineer....)

So if you have any big audiobooks producer connections, feel free to have them contact Paizo!

Can I have a link to that Pathfinder Tales line to subscribe?

Here you go: Pathfinder Tales Subscription. Or, you could just click on "Pathfinder Tales" in the menu on the left side of your screen.

Thanks to everybody in this thread for hooking Bacon up with the answers so promptly. I love being scooped by the community. :D

Thanks, James.

It would be so rad if they could be available as audiobooks. I'd totally dig it :)

Likewise. Maybe combined with Goblinworks? Obviously there's going to be some audio work there, so that means a studio.

You are welcome! Pathfinder Tales is the ONE section of the forums that I check on just about every day. I am eagerly anticipating the next Pathfinder Tales novel!

As soon as I am able to use the Christmas Card, I'll be picking up the digital versions of the novels I missed when I had to let my Tales Subscription lapse.

My wife had an idea and I wanted to see if it would be legal. I think it would fall into the "Fair Use" category of legality, but don't want to break any laws or take anything away from authors and publishers themselves.

If she were to read the books and record her reading as MP3s, could we share them here? We wouldn't charge anything for the recordings and do it for the fun and benefit of anybody who has already purchased the books. (Though I don't know how we would regulate that).

Could we do that and share the recordings here? Or would that be against the rules and possibly against the law?

Many thanks.

I doubt it would fall under 'fair use', as you would take the work of a writer (they tend to do this work for a living, you know) and give it up for free (although as a different medium).

I'd love audiobook versions of Pathfinder tales. Heck I'd love to record some :)

Thanks for the offers, folks! Unfortunately, we can't legally let people record their own audiobooks and share them on the net, but we're trying hard to make audiobooks happen... thanks for your patience!

I can't wait! Dyslexics "read" too!
