After a long hiatus, I have returned with a new project...
The Pathfinder Database awaits you.
I'm basically starting a site for any and all Pathfinder fans to post their custom Pathfinder RPG creations, be that Races, Classes, Prestige Classes, Feats, Equipment, Spells, Magic Items, and NPCs.
What's the big deal?
There's a lot of content available on the messageboards and other sites, but you have to do a little bit of searching to find it. My goal is to provide fan-created Pathfinder content for free in an organized and more readable format.
Any content available will follow the most common format as found in published Pathfinder RPG material.
I hope the site meets with your satisfaction and piques your interest.
Should people wait until August to post things, or can we go ahead and post stuff that's compatible with the Beta?

I'd like to wait until August for official rules and also just give everyone some time to get stuff ready.
I'll open up the registration component of the site in the next couple of days so people can get registered for submitting content.
Registered users will be able to submit content, but anyone can view the content.
OT @ Veector
Registration is now enabled.
Whatever value you use for the "Name" field is how I will label material you submit. If you would like to stay anonymous or use the handle everyone knows from the boards, please fill in that value for "Name".
Thanks for getting this started; I've been hoping someone would launch such a project before the rules release, or shortly after, and can't wait to add a few things to the effort myself.
Pathfinder's got so much promise to begin with, and this and the other projects supporting the game are going to take things further still. It's a really good time to own a set of dice.
I'm currently in the process of building all the content submission forms and creating sample entries to copy from.
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing some great submissions. All you RPG Superstar folks, hint hint...
This is great. Now when people come onto the PathfinderWiki asking us why we don't host this stuff we can simply say "we don't but this site over here does" and send them your way. We'll be sure to link to you in our FAQ. It'd be awesome if you could do the same when people inquire about where to put articles or artwork of actual canon.
I'll have to remember this nice little page to submit my stuff once we have the final rules.

Will do. I can set up a little blurb module on the site for just such a link.
If you like, contact me through the site's contact page and we can make sure we know the boundaries of what each of us is going to post.
I also posted a sample NPC so everyone can see the kind of articles that will appear. I plan on doing more of these for each of the sections.
Click on either the NPC main tab or the NPC - CR 17-20 menu option.
Nice!
veector:
Have you checked out the *community use guidelines*, and signed up to the registry if you're running a Paizo related website?
Yes I have. The Community Use Statement is at the bottom of every page of the site. I have as well put my site in the list of community sites here at Paizo's site.
Come on, the Paenums wait to invade the DB and dissolute all semblance of order there.
They're CR 23 outsiders, so naturally they insist to be posted in the equipment section.
Patience young one... soon Christmas will come... August 13th, I believe.
Thanks for this - bookmarked!!

Yo dude...
Looks like you and I will be competing veector. ;) I'm creating a similar site dedicated to fan material for Pathfinder RPG and Pathfinder Chronicles. Seriously, it's great to see your site up and running. Congrats!
Thanks for the competition. Seriously, it's always good to have someone else's efforts for comparison and to keep you on your toes! :)
Veector, message received. I did some catch-up today.
Just registered, Looks like it will be really nice when it goes 'live'.
