Free Stuff on Our Website!

Thursday, September 1, 2011


Check out our Community Use Package!

So some of you may or may not know that we updated some parts of our Community Use Package the other day. Some of you may or may not know what that even means, which is a darn shame, since we put out some really cool, really free stuff that people don't even know about. In addition to the Player's Guides for each new Adventure Path we put out every six months, below is a list of some neato things that we put on our site that you can use for free under our Community Use Policy.

Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Reference Document
At Gen Con, I realized that a lot of people didn't know that you don't even need to buy most of our products to enjoy them, and that we put up all our rules on our own website for free. It's kind of this insane marketing scheme we have, where we like our customers so much that we give you all the rules you need to play our game for free, and it totally works. It's called the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Reference Document, and it's a giant archive of all our rules, so that you can play the game without even opening your book up. It's searchable, official, totally free, and updated often.

Community Use Package
The Community Use Package consist of files we provide freely on our website, including big ol' maps of our world, symbols to put on your own maps, character sheets, and other cool icons and logos to use as you may. We're pretty down with our fans using things we make to express their appreciation for our products, and you can use a lot of our campaign setting stuff for your own needs as long as you comply with our Community Use Policy.

Pathfinder Society Introductory Scenarios
Pathfinder Society Organized Play is getting pretty popular. We just kicked off Season 3 of Pathfinder Society a couple months ago, and to commemorate the event we released three free full-length scenarios to introduce new and veteran players alike to the exciting world of our organized play campaign! Scroll down to the bottom of the linked page here and check them out! In addition, you can get yourself a free copy of the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play on our website as well.

Free RPG Day
If you don't know about Free RPG Day already, you've been missing out. But that's okay! Because you can still download the products we release on these esteemed occasions on our website. Our last Free PRG Day product was the module We Be Goblins, which is an absolute blast, and in the past we've put out the much-acclaimed Master of the Fallen Fortress module and the Pathfinder RPG Bonus Bestiary, which includes plenty of baddies to throw at your players.

Cute. For those new to the party, Evil Lincoln made a post requesting an edit to the blog, which we then made, and he then removed his original post.

As for the blog, the PRD and service to the OGL are what brought me to Pathfinder. I'm really happy to see that they are well-regarded within the company, and I don't think they get nearly enough publicity!

Speaking of PRD... is there a timetable for when we can expect Ultimate Combat rules to be added?

We're working hard on the next revision of the PRD, and it might be up as soon as next week.

Can you run PFS Scenarios in your homegroup or do you have to run an open event through your local Venture-Captain?

You can run them at home! Or at Starbucks. We don't care where you run 'em—just run 'em!

Such a simple and succinct, yet incredibly powerful philosophy. :)

Keeping with the free sprit, below are links to my Picasa web albums where you can find PFS flyers to promote your gamedays as free downloads. They're also a good example of the Community Use Policy at work, and great way to draw attention to your next free to the public We Be Goblins! gameday ;-)

PFS flyers:

If you want to introduce new players to Pathfinder Society using the free introductory scenarios, consider highlighting them on the Pathfinder Society main page rather than (or in addition to) having them be at the bottom of the Season 3 scenario page.

I buy a lot of the PDF stuff Pathfinder has to offer. Maybe I need to start reviewing some.

It appears this is no longer addable to one's downloads if you missed it the first time around. Someone else may be able to prove me wrong however.

We generally remove the playtest versions of our PDFs when the final product goes live.

Dang, would have been fun to check out the differences. Oh well, finished version is good enough.

And I miss the wizard powers, at will energy ray versus 3+int bonus force missiles per day.

When is the Ultimate Campaign expected to be added to the PRD?
