Pathfinder RPG pdf availibility

[belbearvan]

OK, so Thursday morning about 12:05 AM I plan on sitting at the RAM, preparing myself for GENCON. Part of this years preparation is hopefully going to include downloading a pdf copy of the Pathfinder RPG Rulebook.

Can anyone tell me:
1) At what time will the pdf's become available for purchase and download (12:01 AM Indianapolis time would be good)?
2) Do I need to have a Paizo subscription to purchase/download the pdf?
3) Do I need to buy the hardcopy version in order to purchase/download the pdf version?

Thanks in advance,

BelBearvan

In answer to question #1, Vic stated in another thread that the PDF would be available at 10:00 am Pacific Time. That would be noon Central on Thursday, August 13.

Just my 2 cp.

silverhair is right, it will be at 10am Thursday the 13th. In my DL the link is already their but says I can't personalize it to DL it until noon CST which is the same as 10 am PST like Silver said.

Which is 6pm GMT just as a FYI.

That makes it tough to be ready for the 1:00 slot. I'm attending the Thursday morning preview/kickoff event but even so, if I don't have the pdf until after noon, I won't have much time to work out the nuances for a new character. Of course being 1st level kind of limits the number of immediate "nuances" but it makes long term planning difficult.

Does anyone know whether there is public access wireless within the convention center? or if not there, where the closest access is?

Thursday, 10 a.m. Pacific time. We try not to have things like giant product launches when Paizo staff aren't in the office in case our servers melt down. (Not that they won't at 10:01 a.m., but at least Ross and I will be here to put out the flames.)

That's 1900 over here. At a day I'm supposed to be packing for a sorta-business trip. You guys know that if I end up arriving at our big company party with some hastily donned, non-matching clothes (probably something like safety shoes, tracksuit trousers, a t-shirt with something funny on it no one from the Reich will understand, two different socks, and some old jacket that fell on my while I was diving headfirst into my wardrobe) and with everyone looking at me as if I was mad, I'll blame you guys. I'll tell everyone that I do.

Let that be a warning to you!

:P

You mean...you don't dress that way all the time? :)

He's a jester. Of course, he's supposed to dress that way all the time.

We should break into Paizo headquarters and download the PDF ahead of time.

Good luck, they have one-eyed doll golems guarding the place.

Of course not. A proper jester's outfit must be carefully coordinated. You have to achieve the maximum amount of Clash in colour and style, for example.
