Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook (OGL)

Like a bat out of hell, 3.5 lives and is back to kick ass and take names. Thanks for keeping the flag flying high Paizo !

You know I'm as excited about the new system as anyone, but is it really appropriate to have 3 5-star reviews months before the final system is released?

I hate that it is possible for any reviewer to review any product in the online store before it is released, and I agree that it is inappropriate and does not serve the community well. Is it possible to delete such reviews and close the product off from reviews until it is released?

I was just going to post something about how annoying it is to see someone post a review of something that hasn't even come out yet. Glad to see its not just me that has a problem with this.

Hey I started a trend ;-)

Yeah, me too. Although I could give the cover and the layout (based on the 'races' page) five stars now. :)

Hundreds and hundreds of magic items

Are there some new ones taken from the RPG Superstar list?

Nope. It is pretty much the ones from the SRD. And trust me, that was plenty. (says Lisa, who spent an entire Sunday proofing the Magic Items chapter).

Oh, new logo and cover layout?

Being a subscriber and someone who's going to be at GenCon, what are the chances that my Pre-Order will arrive on Tuesday before I head out to the 'Con?

Seeing as how the beta was far better than that hideous game called 4th edition Dnd, I absolutely can not wait to get my hands on the ridiculously huge final copy of this book. Pathfinder FTW!

or, as an alternative to the question MattDroz made, what is the possibility of pre-ordering and being able to pick it up *at* Gen Con from your wonderful booth if delivery pre-Gen Con is questionable?

Answered before - If you pre-order, it will ship to your regular shipping address. However, if you wait and purchase it at Gen-Con, they can charge it to your Paizo account as if you ordered it. This way you do not need to take extra money. (This was the way they did it for me at Origins last year.)

Hopefully we'll be able to begin shipping them out a week or so ahead of the release date, but odds of you receiving it three days early are fairly low.

Off to the printers. Congratulations, Paizo. :D

Thanks also for the additional discount :D

Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!

Thank you Charles, but that's not exactly what I meant by my question.

I was talking about pre-ordering it for pick up at Gen Con, in a scenerio where my copy was held due to pre-payment and I did not have to worry about sell-out runs or fighting through crowds of people to get the book. I'd be interested in something like "for pick-up by close on Friday or the tagged copy goes into the -for-sale- bin".

Not to mention there may be incentives given for pre-orderers which I would want to take part in (like the free PDF idea, if that's what happens) which the "just buy at Gen Con" doesn't cover.

The Paizo staff answered this before. Pre-Orders will be shipped to your mailing address. They will not hold it for you at Gen-Con.

Though that answer makes me a very sad monkey, I appreciate your dilligence in helping me uncover the answer. Thanks!

You are Welcome.

Preventing early reviews isn't worth the effort—and it *is* possible that sometimes people have early access to the finished product anyway. However, I agree that it's inappropriate for people who haven't examined the product to post ratings, so I've left the "reviews" but deleted the ratings.

Off to the printers. Congratulations, Paizo. :D

Does this mean the corebook will be out before August?

Congratz guys!!

Can't wait to see this big book in person!!!

No the book had to be off now to make August. Ya know printing, shipping, US customs and all

And it is one of the big things they are bringing out at Gencon so I expect even if they had it in July - it would still be the August unveiling... That and the first PRPG Adventure Path.

The release date is August 13—the first day of Gen Con.

Honestly this is the first RPG book I have anticipated since 3.0. 4.0 I never really anticipated and it still disappointed me. I can't wait!!!

The pdf should be put up for this sooner than usual. Not on the day, becasue that would break the website, but within a week really.

Any word on when the subscription is announced?

There is a lead up to that question, 'what other core books will they publsh?'

Elsewhere on the board, Erik Mona intimated that they would announce subscri[tions when they had a firm idea of what other core books they would be publishing; and that the end of PaizoCon (June 14th) would be a good time for such an announcement.

You might recall that PDFs become available for sale on the retail release date of the associated print product. So August 13 is the day for the PDF as well.

(Subscribers should be getting the PDFs shortly before that, when their subscriber copy ships.)

And no matter how many times people ask, the answer on when we'll announce subscription details is going to be "soon," right up until we announce it.

Okay, thanks very much!

I was thinking less about spiolers and more like "we didn't really like how. . . . played out, so don't get to into using it", or "Too many people didn't like how this worked, so we are looking at going to this. . . ."

But it's cool, I can wait.

You tell em! Btw, any idea when the subscription info is going to be announced?

:)

Are there any plans to create any RPGXplorer Datasets for PRPG? Being a gamer who doubles as a computer nerd, I found that RPGXplorer is an incredibly useful product and the Datasets I've found for it really make it a useful resource.

Look to the blog for lots of this stuff. I think it may even begin this week.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad...

Are we there yet?

The release date is August 13&#8212;the first day of Gen Con.

Come on, sing along:

ON the first day of Gen Con, Paizo gave to me...

F=§=%! Where's my time-travel-formula...

F=§=%! Where's my time-travel-formula...

Forget that. I'm going to try what Cartman did in that South Park episode where he had himself frozen when he couldn't wait for the Wii any longer.

We don't make 'em—they do. So we can't say.

Shouldn't that be "Soon™"

What is the best way to support this release? Should I pre order, buy it online after it comes out, buy it from my local gaming shop or get it from a con? Does it make any difference? I want to do my bit in making it the greatest release ever!!!!

Seriously, buy it where ever, but if you have a FLGS, I'd say offer to run some demo games. Bonus if you use some of their 3pp or Paizo d20 stuff to show the people playing (and the FLGS) that there's still a market and a viable game system for stuff that's not 4e.

My FLGS doesn't stock Paizo's products, but I'm personally trying to change that (all the other local GMs order directly from Paizo, I believe). I chat with staff and other customers, and I hoping the word spreads, because 4E isn't selling here (apparently it sells less than 3E products ever did).

I am totally for a free PDF for persons who preorder. Just like the subscrption services.

I'm really looking forward to this and I think they did a great job. Especially great job on Wizards. Pathfinder and 3.5+ is so much better than D&DV4. Great work Pathfinder, I'll be one of the first to purchase.

I can't wait just to have a finalized rule set!

That's not snark, mind you. I just want to see the final version of the rules and start implementing them asap. I've been using Alphas and then Beta for a long time now, and would settle down with the finished product at last.
