PDF-Only Subscriptions


Customer Service


I would like to support both Paizo and my FLGS. Is it possible to have PDF-only subscriptions for PFRPG and APs from Paizo, while I order and buy the hard copy through my FLGS?

Brilliant idea - I'd go for that too!

I'd Subscribe directly, but trans-Atlantic shipping rates are insanely expensive...

We have no plans to offer PDF-only subscriptions.

To add on to what Vic said, the reason why we don't do PDF only subscriptions is because there is no need to. There is nothing to ship out to anybody, so we don't need a subscription process. When the PDF becomes available, just pop it into your cart, buy it and download it. The subscriptions are a way for us to automate the shipping process so we can process a large number of orders more efficiently. This isn't needed for PDFs.

Thanks for the reply :)

Of course, using the manual method is easy enough. However, by canceling my subscription, I would presumably lose the "(Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber)" bit on my profile. Not a big deal, really. I was just curious if I could retain status of subscriber while receiving only PDFs automatically in my downloads section when such become available.

So, yes, I am so insecure as to relish a message board name tag and too lazy to click a couple extra buttons on a web page. At least I am aware of my flaws :)
