I looked at the mirror that was posted above, but that is in weird code I dont understand how to read...so thats useless to me as well.

It's just html, if you're interacting with this forum you know how to use html.

You can grab a copy of that archive, save it to your hard disk and open the file index.html with your internet browser of choice.

visit this URL https://github.com/Mekkiss/pathfinder1.1
click the big green "clone or download" button.
click the download zip.
save the zip file
unzip the downloaded file
explore the unzipped file
click on the index.html

then click on the link that says "Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Reference Document"

That should give you your own copy of the PRD.

yes the tech-savy neighbor kid came over and got it to download for me.. thank you. However to be honest, while our campaign is obviously still possible, I fear it has gotten a lot less convenient. cannot send links to specific rules to the GM for approval, no searching, ect.

I always envisioned an IQ of 8 was forrest gump, whereas an 18 was albert einstein

It actually has more coverage than the PRD book wise, so I'm really not understanding what in the world you are talking about.

The PRD was a much more manageable listing of rules, only the hardcover releases generally made it in. That was a useful distinction for him, and now that it is gone, he has lost functionality.

Exactly. Thank you.

For example:

I have a new player.
They want to buy a weapon.
They can use simple weapons.

The new site lists all simple weapons on one page.

I look and see something on there called a "stingchuck".
I have no idea what this is, having never heard of it before.

I open the listing for it and it's "A stingchuck is a foul bag made of a humanoid’s head with the brain removed and the skull heavily scored so that it bursts open when thrown."

What the butt?

Ahh... it's an item from "Adventurer's Armory", not one of the basic books.

Now I can no longer tell my player "Any weapon on this list from this page is available" because they'll be buying a freakin' human head to throw at people IN A HUMAN TOWN!

I don't want this item in my shops!
I don't want my players having this!

And I can not simply and easily send them a link to SIMPLE WEAPONS that does NOT include this item.

Do you really not see the problem here?

I have to agree. many of us DO NOT want the insane amount of info included in all the publishes...some of it is so unbalancing and slows gameplay down far too much.

in 30+ years of gaming, I cant think of a single instance where a game company itself has derailed someones campaign before....I have seen campaigns derailed by obsessive players, drunken DM's, even love triangles, but never by a company itself....first time for everything I suppose
