Would've been nice if there would've been a tier with the CRB, Bestiary and World Guide but without the physical beginner box. Just the shipping cost of the beginner box to Germany is almost es expensive as just buying the beginner box from a local store.

I believe you can choose the top tier and chose not to ship the box. Or ship it to one of these charities for them to use.

While the Starfinder Core rulebook shows as included in the Humble Bundle, we are getting reports that people are not getting it when they redeem the code. We are looking into it.

Thank you everyone for letting us know about the missing Starfinder CRB from your HB redemptions. So sorry about that! We've added the file to the accounts of anyone who was missing the PDF. You can now find the download link in your Digital Assets. If you aren't seeing the PDF and you should have it please email Customer Service at customer.service@paizo.com.

Contributed over $50 through the Humble Bundle email link. However, less than half the material showed up on my downloads page. I did not get the Adventure Paths, map packs, pawns, and much more. What can I do?

I have supported HB in the past. Generally, there are multiple codes you need to enter, one for each level ($5, $15, $30 and $50).

Thanks. That was not explained. I will see how I can get back to the site.

Hey, Paizo Customer Service. Kudos to you. You handled my noobie problem with pizzaz. Thanks a ton.

Hello I redeemed all four codes but I get no prompt for the physical box like I see on the redemption guide page. Is there something I'm missing?

Same here. I did some very light digging, and it looks like the print version of the box is unavailable in the store, so I have to wonder if that creates the situation where the ability to "purchase" it from the redemption code is disabled. If so, I'm a bit disappointed. Aside from the maps, I own almost all of the stuff in the bundle already, and effectively bought this bundle for the physical BB to give to my girlfriend, as she was planning to run her nieces and nephews through some of it over her winter break (assuming a timely enough delivery). Fortunately, I have the PDFs already, so I can give them to her to use. Also, I'm really supportive of the charity, so another plus. But, putting a potentially out-of-print physical product in a Humble Bundle seems a good way to generate ill will. Who made that decision, Humble, the charity, or Paizo?

Hello. Sorry for the delay in the physical Beginner Box. It is temporarily showing unavailable in our store, but we have more on the way from the port. There will be a slight delay while we restock. We will get back to you with a timeline.

I have no interest in fantasy grounds, but I would like those PDFs at this price. Do I get the PDFs on Paizo with this bundle?

The bummer is that I just bought Kingmaker AP #1 Stolen Grounds two weeks ago with the Paizo pdf black Friday sale. I could have gotten it and a lot more for just a few dollars more.

Thanks for the update. Is customer service going to email us with instructions when the physical boxes come in?

Yeah, Im quite excited to get my grubby mittens on the box so I hope they come out with some soon. Is it possible theyd be out before the end of the year?

Thanks, I got both bundles and linked my Paizo and Fantasy grounds account. Now I've got all the Pdfs. (So much reading to do, and I've got more books coming for the holidays.)

Hi, I see that the beginner box is available again on the store. Do you happen to know what we should do to get it? I already redeemed the code while it wasnt available and I cant find any popups.

I got an email last night with instructions, so mine is on it's way.

The link in the email is wrong. It says to go to https://paizo.com/paizo/accounts/gifts, but the correct link is https://paizo.com/paizo/account/gifts (account should be singular).
