I am curious why an option isn't afforded to a non subscribing customer to get a pdf with the purchase of, i guess not only the hardcover, but any of the other items you have , like the adventure paths for example.

I tend to buy most of my books right from amazon, but at a significant discount in price, but obviously, i can't get the pdf through them. So, i have the option of coming here and just purchasing the pdf,which in the end, winds up costing me the same amount as if i was a subscriber.

To be blunt here, i would much rather just purchase my book and get the pdf all from paizo and get my pdf with it. It would just really make things much easier and i'd feel like i was supporting the little guy in the end rather than amazon. However, i don't have the money quite honestly to be a subscriber and can't make that kind of commitment ahead of time, because i don't know where my funds will be.

This is just something i've been really curious about for a while and was wondering if someone from the company could answer this for me :)

I just want to add; I really appreciate the effort you guys have put into pathfinder and honestly, i feel a sense of awe, like i used to as a kid when i played ad&d and remember reading all the cool new books and rules and stuff. It just feels like you guys are adding "coolness" back into the rpg atmosphere and i for one, really appreciate it. I haven't had so much fun in a lot of years. Thanks for re-invigorating my interest in role playing!

OK, here's my dilemma. Myself and a few friends have been playing the beginner box now for a few months. I recently went ahead and purchased the core rulebook and beastiary with full hopes of moving away from the beginner box and into the full core rules. The trouble i had last weekend when i tried to transition is that it's feeling very overwhelming trying to remember so many of the little things that are in the core rules, that the beginner box didnt use. I know myself and a few others are struggling with things like FLAT FOOTED for example. Just trying to wrap our head around stuff like that just hasn't been easy for a few of us in our group.

So i guess i was curious what others experiences have been at this transitional point. I for one am really looking forward to delving into the more complex stuff, but to be honest, a few people in our group are not feeling all that excited with the prospect of trying to remember all this new stuff.
Are there any good ideas or ways to easing into this? Tricks, tips and suggestions would be MOST welcome and i look forward to hearing back from the community :)

PS: Paizo, you guys have done a fantastic job with the beginner box and i truly appreciate the effort that went into it! Thanks alot for making such a great product that has pulled an old retired AD&D gamer back into the love of role playing :)
