and it is being downloaded NOW !!!
Despite disliking the Alphas, the length of the Beta makes me dangerously cautious. Maybe it'll be good? That would make my day!

Son-of-a! I had the book pre-ordered and I didn't think of adding the pdf to my cart then I was sitting there anxiously watching my downloads page for it to appear after the site came back up.
I've gotten too spoiled with the subscriber stuff auto-adding the pdfs too.

Edit: Hmm... I went back and added it along with swords to plowshares and the new argonauts as pdfs. They appeared in my downloads, but the beta didn't. I knew something was going to try and make sure I didn't get to flip through it before heading out on vacation tonight...
Is there any delay happening on it jumping to the cart, so that orders are staggered and the servers hold up better? Or was I just targeted by whatever gods or evil entities thought I would be fun to taunt today?
Secondary Edit: I am stupid and they updated the alpha. Thank you.
Reading the Beta now.

Argh... The one chapter per file only has the back cover, but the other one is fine, including the web-enhancement.

Yeah, I noticed the small file size and switched... 89% AAAND Done, bye
Is there going to be a printer friendly version?
Its about the same price to print 408 pages and bind them as it is to buy the softcover Beta.
I'd recommend getting the softcover, its nicer than a printout anyway :)

I think I've tried to re-personalize the files a dozen times now, and both the complete version and the one-file-per-chapter version keep downloading as just the back page.
This is what I get for being on the front line to download the Campaign Setting. :(
Ahhhhh, I see what's happening. Give me a few minutes to fix it.
Got mine :D
Already downloaded! Now reading to see what changes we need to make in our game to play test this version.
I can't wait for August 2009 for the Hardcover book.

Thats assuming you have to pay for printing your free Beta pdf. I have a nice big work printer that I can print on for free. Buying the softcover is something I am considering doing, but I like being able to print extra copies of sections, or just having a physical copy to playtest so I can determine if buying it is worth my time or not.
Thanks Papa-DRB!
It went up at lunchtime where I live. Tastes good!
*sob* 3 hours before I can go home and DL it.
*Me too* Actually longer, I have a golf game after work. *Can't wait*
MUHUEHAHAHAHAHA!
*gank*
Awesome stuff.
Not much changed, though. Glad to have it all in one place, at least!

Is there going to be a printer friendly version?You have any idea how much it would cost you to print it out? Even as a black and white over at Staples? Much cheaper to just pony up.
Since you failed to read the last response I gave to this very same suggestion, I'll state again that I have access to a printer that I can print on for FREE, thus a print friendly copy would be nice. Even if I wasn't planning on printing it, a print friendly copy would load quicker on my laptop as I flip pages. They provided the print friendly versions of the Alpha releases, so its not unreasonable to ask for the same now.
Okay this is amazing. Both good looking and wonderful reading. Now I can't wait to get my hands on the hard copy that will let my computers rest.

Hooray! Looks awesome, I'm trying to cram it all into my brain at once and keep flipping around to look up various random bits as they spring to mind.
ps, I've found that the one-file-per-chapter version works well if you load each chapter PDF in a new Firefox tab, then bookmark the set of tabs and voila - easy to load them all at once and easy to flip back and forth as you want to look up various random things. Much easier than switching between Adobe Reader windows, anyway :D

If you are going to have all of the chapters open anyways, why not just have the full version open in Adobe? I'm unclear what the advantage is there.
Mine keeps asking me for some password. I don't get it?
Something odd is going on.
P.S. I keep getting this message;
"Please enter the Document Permission password to remove the restrictions."
Can anyone help me?

I can look up or cross-reference stuff in different chapters without losing my place in each chapter, which is nice if you're prone to doing a lot of flipping around in different sections.

Not to mention it cuts down on the time spent scrolling/paging up/down. You just click the tab of the chapter and then start scrolling.

I'd suggest you try either:
1) repersonalize and redownload the Beta
or
2) Update your Adobe Reader.
Or use Foxit Reader at http://www.foxitsoftware.com/ . Make sure it is Version 2.3 (NOT 2.2). Adobe, especially Version 8 brings my machine to a crawl. Foxit is a faster, lighter PDF reader that works great.
