Any way I can get a subscription for just the PDFs? No reason to pay $4 for shipping if I am just going to use the PDFs and would like to get the 30% off and a auto notice when I can go download it.
… oh and the Pathfinder has been incredibly good so fare : )

last I read anything about this, Erik said it was not on the schedule. That may have changed since, but as of right now there is no option to get just the PDFs as a subscription

I apologize for the delayed reply.
The Captain is correct above. We have no plans for offering a PDF-only subscription at this time.
thanks,

I would be interested in a PDF subscription as I live outside the US and don't feel like paying $14 for a PDF (ie hoping its cheaper like a normal printed subscription).
At $20 USD each+ shiping Pathfinder is to expensive for me. Dragon/Dungeon hovered around $14 USD here-each.

Well, if you subscibe to Pathfinder, you get a 30% rebate and a free PDF. So it costs only 14 USD + Shipping each month to get both a hard copy and a PDF copy (and you have access to the PDF as soon as the hard copy ships, which is usualy about 2 weeks before the street date).
And comparing this to Dragon/Dungeon mags in terms of how much they sell it doesn't make Pathfinder justice. PF is about 100 pages without any adds (ok, save for a one page add/info on other Paizo products, but still definitely less than what was in the mags, so you get a lot more content), the cover quality/durability is a lot higher and the page's paper is also of higher quality/durability.
I just thought you should know these things.
Zardnaar, I'm also down under, and Pathfinder is a GREAT deal. Especially with the Aussie dollar so strong at the moment.
A Subscription gets you 30% off (so 14 bucks), and shipping is only 5 bucks, so it cost 19 dollars a month. Factor in the conversion (and finance charges), that is still less than 25 bucks Australian a month (more like 22 - 23 at the moment), for BOTH the print copy and the PDF.
If you were paying 14 - 15 each for dungeon and dragon, Pathfinder actually works out cheaper, for, in my opinion, a by far superior product. And you get the free pdf so you can check it out when it ships, without the 2 week shipping time (which was more like 2 months for subscription dungeon and dragon).
If anyone is still watching this, I do believe that if you do not subscribe, and just buy individually, you can purchase the PDF only.
Granted, you must return monthly to do so, but you'd get it as you desire.
Mevers great idea but I'm getting older. I think Dungeon peaked under Paizo but due to life (new job, saving for house,trouble getting gaming group togather) I haven't even played Age of Worms let alone Savage Tide (we started both but yeah that whole life thng).
I don't really want to pay $20 ($19) a month for a product I will never likely use. I still want to support Paizo but I don't like the idea of paying $14 each month for a PDF. I have spent several hundred dollars on PDFs from RPGnow.com and don't mind paying money to buy PDFs.
A subscriber can get hardcopy for $14 so I don't want to pay $14 for a PDF and I don't want to subscribe as its unlikely I would bever use the product in a game. I would subscribe to a PDF monthly if they had the same discount as a hard copy(30%) which would bring the cost down to closer to $10 for a PDF issue which I would be happy to pay even of I never used it.
Theres also competing interests for my money/time. 1 years subscription to Pathfinder ($19X12) is equal to 1 year of Xbox live and 2-3 games for the Xbox 360. Not comparing the 2 at all but theres other things I can do with my time/money is more the point.
