I don't want to get off topic but let's be real here: no one on this earth is ever going to stop pirating ever. Period. No amount of DRM is going to prevent it AND encourage sales. Paizo did what they thought was necessary and, though it is a little roundabout, it allows us to get the books in PDF form instead of having 30 texts lying around the house. I think that's worth it.

Heyo I just used Internet Explorer here at work (I have Windows XP) and got the file!

On Chrome I went to the "my downloads" page
clicked the file I wanted
waited the 60 seconds
clicked again
got the "your download will begin shortly" message
copied the link where it says "if it doesn't begin, click here"
opened internet explorer (I was desperate)
pasted
hit enter
waited a few minutes
clicked save

The download itself will take an hour for 114MB which is a little sad but with thousands of us trying to download the same files it is understandable. I'm just glad I can get my core rulebook in time for class tonight.

Thank you Lissa and friends! Your hard work is greatly appreciated!!

There has been a D&D comics bundle, but I'm pretty sure there's never been an RPG bundle. (Wizards hasn't sold PDFs of their current edition core RPG books in many years.)

Oooohhh ok I didn't know it was a comics bundle I thought it was a rulebook type thing. My mistake.

I know that the bundle exceeded expectations up at paizo hq and that's fantastic! I'm not saying that they should have expected 100,000 bundle purchases on day 1, but the website is browsed by millions per day. From what I can recall, the d&d bundles sold well so I personally don't think that expecting a high number would have been ludicrous.

I am really glad that the bundle is doing so well and I hope it continues to do so! I also hope that this experience doesn't make paizo think twice when they have another chance for a humble bundle.

Admittedly though, it's so damn difficult to wait! Especially while I'm sitting through this pointless class.

Thanks for everyone's hard work paizo!

Hey guys, just think about it like queuing outside an iStore for that new iPhone or such. Must of us are getting INCREDIBLY good deals on AMAZING products, AND supporting a charity to boot.

I don't mind waiting a few days when I saved over a hundred dollars on my books.
Another thing to think about, they have been streaming PF all day over twitch, I haven't been following that so I don't know if that is going through their server which could be slowing the server down somewhat. Also if the tech group has played at all or is helping sort out Twitch they won't have been able to work on this.

Let's give them a day or two before we rage?

Keep up the good work PAIZO

Please don't associate these amazing books with an iPhone...

I'll admit it is frustrating not being able to download the books yet but I can't play until the summer anyways so I think I'll be ok with waiting.

I think coming up with a different way of DRM-ing the content or getting a bigger server might be in order. I'm sure this bundle wasn't a surprise to anyone at Paizo HQ so maybe a stress test should have been done beforehand.

Anyways, regardless of these issues, thanks for the amazing bundle! I never would have gotten into Pathfinder and never would have bought anything for it otherwise. Now I just have to buy more! :D

Hey everyone! Thanks for being so awesome. I sat in on an Star Wars D&D game my old friend was running and really liked it. Now thanks to Humble Bundle and Paizo, I'll be running a Pathfinder game with my siblings and some friends. I love the fantasy setting but there's always something missing from the video games. I don't know exactly what it is but I'm hoping to find it here! Can't wait for summer break!
