The Shackled City Adventure Path Hardcover downloadable in PDF


Shackled City Adventure Path


Hi.
Like many other here I loved The Shackled City Adventure Path, and as a DM I want my new players to experience the HC version.
Problem I do play with some of my player around the table, while the others are behind their webcam dispersed around the world. This is why I usually either prepare my homemade campains or I use PDF versions.
My question is: Does Paizo intend to provide us with a downloadable PDF version of The Shackled City Adventure Path Hardcover?

I own the hardcover, but I'd be interested in this at $20-$30-ish. I really love that adventure, I plan to run it soon in 4e, and I'd love to print out and scribble on parts of the adventure.


Given that the license reverted from Paizo to Wizards I'd suspect that we won't see a .pdf version just like we won't see a hardcover compilation of Age of Worms or Savage Tide or .pdf versions of the last few issues of Dragon and Dungeon.

My thoughts exactly...


I emailed Paizo long ago and asked that very question. I run the SCAP online using Fantasy Grounds 2. Their answer at the time was: no plan to release a pdf of the HC.

You can, however, get pdfs of all the original Dungeon Magazines that have SCAP chapters from the Paizo store. The magazine text isn't exactly the same as the HC, but it tends to save me a lot of time, having the ability to cut & paste from the magazine pdf to FG2.


If any of you are from the UK, I saw SCAP HC in Orcs Nest (London) going for £10. I think they're getting rid of a lot of non-WoTC 3.5 stuff.

Actually I have the magazine in pdf already. But the HC seems to have corrected several mistakes that where present in the mag. So I wanted to try it out since I'm starting a new campain for my players.

Hey y'all:

We never had the rights to sell a PDF of the Shackled City hardcover. The contract actually strictly forbid us from selling PDFs of the compilation. Now that the rights have reverted back to WotC, doing anything more with any of our licensed products is out of the question. :/

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for the answer, even if it confirms what I feared T_T.
that's really a shame, but hey, that's the way it is...
At least we have pathfinder now ^^.

That's really a shame. I first started reading the boards here during the run-up to the Shackled City hardcover, and though it's unlikely I'll run it any time soon (if ever) flipping through the book is fun because the story's really cool and the design and layout are great. I really wanted to see what you'd have done with hardcovers for Age of Worms and Savage Tide, but ... well, sigh ;)

Yeah, all the more reason to harbor ill feelings toward WotC...

It must be rough to be afraid of the competition.
