Don't descend on me like locusts, but, I accidentally bought a 2nd copy that I'd like to give as a gift to someone.
Only a few preconditions: you must live in the U.S. (since I'll spring for the postage); I'd strongly prefer if I "know" you from the boards here (sorry lurkers!); and I have a few of you in mind already.
My 2nd copy has a few creased pages (about 17 pages w/ 2 creases, about 15 pages w/ 1 crease); though this is not the reason I'm giving it away. Just want to be upfront about that. Nothing that interferes w/ legibility by any means; it's only an aesthetic consideration.
I'll check in on this thread later tonight, and again tomorrow after work (Pacific Standard Time). If there's an easy way for me to choose (like rolling a D20, for example), that might be more fair than 1st come, 1st served.
When I pick the winner, I'll do so here and post my email address so we can confirm the details.
Good luck.
I'm not throwing my name out for this, but I just wanted to stop by and say thank you for being awesome! It's really cool that you are giving this away to someone who can't get a copy of their own.
I don't know if you know me or not, but I have not been able to afford the print version of PFRPG, due to not having a job. I would much appreciate it if you would pick me (or you know, even just consider me).
I think it should go to Lord Zack. He does seem to be the first to ask for it, and most of us that could not get to print version for various reason already have the pdf version.
Well I was at least able to get the PDF version (and the PDF of Tome of Secrets as well). But it would make me very happy to get a print version. I might be able to get it if I get a job soon, but I'm not sure if will be able to. If you want the book, feel free to put you're name up for consideration if you want, I can make due with the PDF for a while.
This is cool... I am fine but I was going to suggest someone. Paizo boards folks are good people.
Well, I'm off to bed for the night, but so far looks like I won't be needing that D20 to make a decision after all! LOL
I'll check back tomorrow night and make the call then so as not to drag this out.

I have a copy of the book, but I thought I'd throw in a request for one of my gamers, he doesn't use the boards but he is currently unemployed, and can't really afford to throw the extra money for the PDFs [he's missed games because he couldn't afford gas to get to my house the next town over (yes we've solved that with a car pooling solution) so saying shell out what should be gas money even on a reasonably priced PDF is kinda mean IMO]. I'll understand coming in late and having my own copy if you want to give it to others, but I would be remiss if I didn't ask on his behalf..
Ok, 5 potential winners, so a percentile roll coming up; the only way to be impartial about this:
lordzack (1-20)
Ramses (21-40)
lastknightleft (41-60)
Rezdave (61-80)
brentnorton (81-100)
Drumroll...(rolls a 10). Congratulations lordzack! Now the tough part, having to say sorry to the others; wish I could afford copies for everyone who couldn't! :(
lordzack,
My special sympathies for those of you who might be currently unemployed. Hang in there!
BenS that was a nice thing you just did.
I just sent you the e-mail. I really appreciate this. You're a really good guy.

Thank you for the chance.
I really hope the rest of you guys that are also in financial trouble get out of it soon.

Well I can't manage to pitch in a print version but if your friend has an account I will throw down for the PDF if that is possible. (Have to check with customer service.)
I have had part of the community hook me up. So I figure I can repay the favor.
If there is anyone else who can't purchase the PDF I can put in enough for two total. Let me know and I will try getting in contact with customer service.

Heh, I'll ask him during the game wednesday, I'm pretty sure he got an account to download the BETA rules, and for all I know he did something stupid like buy the PDF anyways (I know I would have, but I aparently like going without food lol). So I'll ask him when we game and if he doesn't have it after all (which honestly considering he's missed games over not having gas money I'd hope he knew we would let him use our print outs of the PDFs rather than buy it, but like I said I know if I were in his situation I'd own the PDF anyways and rent be damned :D ) and let you know thursday. And even if it winds up being unneccessary, thank you so much for your kindness. Paizo people ROXs!
I had a similar situation when I got rid of alot of gaming books (I live in a 16 square foot room-don't ask). I gave them to a hospital that treats wounded soliders. Those guys are all gamers. Just an idea.
I'm not elegible, as I'm a bit like Erasmus ("When I have a little money, I buy books. If any is left over, I buy food and clothes."), I just want to praise you for your laudable endeavour.
<pats BenS on back>
Well done sir- a class act.
Thanks for the kind words everyone.
lordzack, if by any chance you're still following this thread

Well my guy didn't show up to yet another game (not because of money, he had a different reason) so I won't know till at least next week. If others come in and take him up on his offer before me, I'm fine with it. Seeing as how this is the third week in a row.
Well since you are still unsure and the player couldn't make it I am going to see about getting the PDF for Rezdave and brent norton.

Thank you very much. With all the problems my family and I have had since being laid off in April this is a very welcome thought of generosity.
Thank you very much.
I also think it is sad there is a whole thread about people being upset about how their PDF is screwed up, when I am just happy to get one and having to rely on others to have it. Thank you Damnitall22.
I now have the book. Thank you very much.

Whoa! Only took 2 days to mail from coast to coast, that's awesome. I'm glad you have it for the weekend.
And a special thanks to damnitall22 for offering to pony up for a few pdfs. That's the spirit.
