I've been using Foundry for nearly 2 years. I've used the PDFtoFoundry importer a few times, but I settled on building my own tables to suit my preferences. Well, not anymore. This package is fantastic! The overhead tile art, the music and sound effects, the exceptional tokens. This isn't about convenience. The quality of this package is beautiful and beyond anything I can create. It provides an amazing experience for GM and players.
I rarely find a product that is of the level of quality that I desire. I rarely even meet my own standards when making content. Which is why I was pleasantly surprised that Foundry and Paizo went above and beyond with this product, almost reaching a level of beginner perfection.
There is still some work to be done integrating some of the many wonderful modules that the Foundry community has made, which makes this product even better. But I could not have asked for a better starting point than this.
A module that not only comes with the base features of Foundry already formatted (walls, lights, actors), it goes several steps further, digging into advanced features such as predesigned playlists of music and sound effects, custom art and formatting for the journal entries, and an abundance of advice sidebars for teaching a new GM how to use Foundry and lead a group of new players though a game of Pathfinder 2nd Edition on Foundry VTT.
I can't say enough good things about this module. As a GM, I've been running Adventure Path modules imported into Foundry for over a year now, but this is above and beyond anything else I have seen. The overhead tiles, the ambient music, the JOURNAL ENTRIES that make running the game so. incredibly. easy. This is a must-buy for anyone planning to GM the Beginner Box (and everyone else, I hope, so they keep making them! Don't wait on this.
Whether you're a new player or a veteran, this module is an amazing creation that has a lot to offer. Beautifully done in style and design, everything just looks and sounds very inviting. And with the PF2e system intergration for Foundry, it's a great way to learn how conditions work and apply as it'll help automate them so that you don't forget, but still let you experience what they do!
I've ran this before teaching my group how to play, and they want to play through it again just because of everything included to create a new experience in what this has to offer!
This product was my first exposure to playing Pathfinder 2e; previously I've played D&D. The integration with Foundry is so incredibly good and fine-tuned that I legitimately don't see how I could go back to playing on a different system. There's extremely minimal prep work for the GM - everything is immediately & perfectly setup.
It's clear from how well crafted this is that it was a labour of love by its creators - it's beautiful. Future Pathfinder modules for Foundry will be an instant buy for me.
We've made a lengthy effort to make the nature of this product clear in the store page text above, but the nature of it is new for us and for many users. We are open to suggestions of how our explanatory text can be more clear.

Im looking to buy the Humble bundle..i get 42 items one is the Physical box and one is the pdf...i will buy it if they send me the code which i would think they would since i will own this in 2 diff formats.
The book and PDF are published by Paizo. The Foundry table is built by a different team and the code sold by Paizo with a discount for owning the PDF. So, if you buy the Humble bundle, you will support a good cause, own some cool products, and be entitled to the discount for owning the PDF (once it is in your Paizo account). Those who did the hard work of making an amazing Foundry experience will still be entitled to earn a little income from their endeavours.
Both here and the Abomination Vault page are showing unavailable when I'm trying to purchase them. Is this an issue on my end, or is something going on?

I would guess it's an issue on your end, since I had no problem putting this in my cart (not going to actually buy it, since I already did that once).
Both here and the Abomination Vault page are showing unavailable when I'm trying to purchase them. Is this an issue on my end, or is something going on?
This product page is a discounted product for people who own the pdf already.
The same is true for abomination Vaults (you need to buy the bundle if you don't own the compilation pdf).
If you own the pdf and it still shows as unavailable then try clearing your browser cache and cookies, and if the issue persists then send support an email for assistance.
I've the Beginner Box PDF and the code for Foundry VTT. In Foundry VTT i can't find der "Warden Human" Heritage. Please help
Warden Human is a special heritage in the Beginner Box that is a bit weird in that it does not follow the normal guidelines for heritages. I'll double check and if we don't have it in the system currently I'll get it in for the next system update (~a few hours from this post unless we find some horrendous bug).
I own the beginners box for PF2e PDF, but it still says that the €15 product for Foundry VTT is unavailable.
I bought the beginners box PDF through humble bundle, does that cause any issues?
Same here. I can't go to checkout if I have this Code only version in my shopping cart. If I only have the bundle in my shopping cart, I can go to checkout.
I do own the Beginners Box PDF from a humble bundle. It is available in my account.
It seems like with all the issues posted here specifically regarding the purchase of the FoundryVTT Code after purchasing the Humble Bundle that straightforward directions would be posted here by now.
Yes, I own the pdf and it's available in my digital content.
Yes, I've cleared browser cache / cookies.
Yes, I've emailed sales and customer service and gotten no response.
Pathfinder Pathfinder Accessories Subscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber
Email customer service. They're probably a bit underwater right now because the sheer amount of new folks getting into the game recently and the age of the website, but that truly is the only way to reach them at this point.
Add me to the list of those with the Starter Box PDF and the Foundry VTT module showing unavailable in the Paizo store.
What's the next move?
I reached out to FoundryVTT when I hadn't heard back.
Got prompt support from their end.
They suggested I log out and try in a different browser.
So I did and it still showed as unavailable.
I decided to be helpful to the helpful and document what I was seeing step by step in my email response to foundryvtt.
Long story short, in this new browser, as I was documenting how it doesn't work, I proceeded all the way to checkout with the still Unavailable $15 dollar code, and this time it actually let me buy it, whereas the billing system kicked me out at the last minute the first time I tried that.
So just try again in a different browser even though it says unavailable.
I got the code instantly and entered in foundry and it's there.
Hopefully this helps others in this humble predicament.
I think we can all agree that this website is horrible. For the love of God please replace this with Shopify or some system that works! In the remote hope this will help in some way, I've tried 2 different computers with both Safari and Firefox. Same Results...

If I read it very very slowly like I can see that in the PDF section it shows that it's "In your digital assets". Which it is since I purchased this several days ago and downloaded it.

Is it really or just a bug? It's in my shopping cart.
Shopping Cart:
Pathfinder Beginner Box (Foundry VTT) CODE
Unavailable ( Am I beating a dead horse here? A friend purchased this last week, It's digital content and not paper. If it's been discontinued then take it off the website eh?)
Checkout: 1..2..3.. Really?
1. Ok it's in there but also flagged Unavailable.
2. Payment method, OK remembered my card.
3. Looks OK. I click purchase. It asks for the code on my CC. OK.
Wow, it worked this time. I'm guessing the delay in my working thru the cart is what allowed it to work? So if you go slow, give each page 2 minutes, you can purchase Unavailable content.
Well played. You must wait a minute or two before advancing to the next step when purchasing. Slow and steady wins the race here. It worked and I now have the module.
