So when can those of us with subcriptions expect to see the PDF

[lastknightleft]

I know that the release is for gen-con and we'll have to wait for the hard copy, but every time I've gotten something from Paizo I've always gotten the PDF way earlier than our hard-copy. So what day should we expect to log on and download our PDF of the pathfinder rules? I don't know about you guys but I'm chomping at the bit with this being august.

They've said that the PDF will be available on the 13th, same day as the rulebook goes live for the Core book. I predict the servers will be up and working to download in late on the 14th. ;-)

Normally if you are a subscriber your PDF is available for download on the day your subscription ships. The cord rule book PDF is being held until the official release date of August 13th.

ug that sucks, i've never had luck with paizo when traffic hit it, so maybe if i'm lucky I'll be able to download it on the 15th

Question #2: are they setting up the shipping so that hopefully people start getting their books on or around the 14th, or are they shipping them out on the 14th so you can expect to get your hardcopy on or around the 20th?

But by that point you might have the physical copy to love, and squeeze and call George.

Theay are begining to (or have already) ship their furthest traveling copies. Overseas orders and such. The remaining orders are being shipped according to distance traveled to try and time reciept as close to the 13th as they can.

If you're real lucky you may even recieve it a day or two early. Wouldn't hold your breath though. ;)

The former. If I recall correctly they started with international orders on the 3rd, and they're shooting to get people their books on around the release date. No guarantees however, but they're doing their best within reason.
