I'd love for pathfinder to pick up Eberron. I've cobbled together about 800 pages of various pathfinder and eberron material from 3.5 on, and converted the races and Artificer base class, but an official conversion with everything in one place would be awesome.

I also yanked out psionics completely. Best thing about pathfinder is not supporting psions IMO.


Just wanted to throw this out there since I know you guys are working on stuff for tablets & phones.

PLEASE put up .pdfs of your RPG rulebooks already optimized for mobile. It cuts the size by two-thirds and massively speeds up loading times for tablets.

In Acrobat Pro X, simply open the original file, go to File -> Save As -> Optimized PDF -> Choose Mobile from the dropdown box next to "settings" and make sure transparency is unchecked on the left side.

5 to 10 minutes later you have the same PDF, that looks the same on the tablet, except instead of 65mb for the core rulebook, we'd be at 25mb or so.

Just an idea, but you guys are doing a great job. It's appreciated, keep it up!

Thanks!


I use an iPad and a Blackberry Playbook at the moment for tablets, and an Android for a phone.

I don't know that I would really use an app on the tablets, and the pdf readers built in work fine for the books.

My issue is that I wish you guys would offer your .pdf's online for download already optimized for mobile. It can cut the size of the PDF's by two-thirds.

Under Acrobat X Pro, you just go to File -> Save As -> Optimized then choose "Mobile" from the dropdown box at the top. Make sure transparency is not checked in the box to the left, and let it run, everything else can be set to default.

5 minutes later you have an optimized PDF, perfect for tablet viewing.

We can't do this with the protected files we download from the paizo website, but it would be great if we could just download them that way (complete with DRM).
