Similar to gbonehead, I have not been able to order. According to my browser, the HTTPS is not secure. As I am not comfortable ordering over an unsecured connection, do we have an estimate to when this will be resolved.

Thank you.

Just wanted to chime in on how great the Beginner Box is. A few years back, I purchased the Pathfinder core books in PDF format to give the rules their due. Honestly, I thought that there was way too much complication for a casual game with my kids. So I moved on.

I'm a sucker for Quick Starts/Fast Play rules though, so when I saw the Beginner Box video on youtube, I got excited. I put off picking up the Skyrim soundtrack and bought the Beginner Box instead. I am glad that I did.

From my perspective this is the perfect product. This is what I was looking for when I bought the crappy new Red Box from Wizards. That the authors were able to distill the core concepts from the Pathfinder Core rules into an easily digestible form is amazing to me. The layout and fonts were a big plus too.

My first game was last Thursday. It was an immediate hit. The wife and kids loved the pre-gens and we quickly picked up the rules as we went. I think the detailed, section by section descriptions really helped. Having the maps and minis were also great. I have plenty of plastic minis, but it was nice not having to pull down the big fishing box full of them. I had dice already, but another set is always welcome. These dice are pretty cool too.

I'm not sure if the sales and reception are good enough to warrant, but I would personally love to see another boxed set that is analogous to the old Expert set.
