I use the "Good Reader" App for my Ipod. I download all my paizo PDFs to it.

Since the Core book is so graphics heavy... and BIG... I grabbed a the PDF version of the PRD and also uploaded it my Ipod.

With the Dice apps that are out there, and keeping track of my character on a google spreadsheet, I don't really need anything besides my Ipod to play anymore. (Still prefer paper, though)


Where does one find the PDF of the PRD? I've got the core rulebook but it's hard to pass that giant tome around my players when they need to look something up.

Paizo sells PDF versions of the Core Rulebook and the Bestiary. You can also download an all-Open Game Content version of the Pathfinder PRD material (Core Rulebook + bestiary) here:

You can get a PDF of the PRD on d20pfsrd.com Downloads page (along with several other goodies).

For spells there is:

It is 3.5 right now, and I'm working on the PFRPG spells as we speak...

Hah, board cross posted.

I heard rumblings that Paizo was brewing a character sheet app that would network between iPhones. So if you cast a spell it propagated.

When you can read the 3.5 PHB and Pathfinder Core Rulebook perfectly as a pdf.. why bother with an app. :)

In any case, the iPhone isn't an ideal RPG cool because of it's screen size, but it's nice to have around when you suddenly have inspiration but your RPG library is at home. :)

the screen is big enough to display one paragraph or one spell description, I call that ideal if you can access everything by index

plus if you can bookmark with different folders it can be used as a Spell Book

and with the iPad out....

I just use Safari and use the online PRD instead of downloading the PDF. 99% of the time it works fine for me and is nicely cross linked.

Now, when the iPad comes out, I would LOVE to see some Apps and more robust content for it.


your wish will be fulfilled :)

Sure, WOTC has one. It's the same I use on my iPhone. :P

You really don't need an "App."

meh that one is boring, i'm thinking more along the lines of actual dice that you roll by flicking them with your finger, they have one for d6s but not for dnd dice. And also the web browser on my phone takes forever, I don't want to hold up the game or my prep waiting for a new load every time I need a new dice roll.

found one, not visually exciting but it gets the job done

You don't have to reload it each time. The roller uses javascript and will keep rolling dice each time you hit a button.

Your decision. :)

Does it work without network connectivity?

And without giving away your secret sauce, can we assume it will be updated when PRD updates are made to the main site quickly?

Yes, the whole PRD is bundled with the app, nicely formatted. I will certainly be updating it, both with useful functionality and erratas.

I'm both a Pathfinder player and a DM myself, and made the app because I needed it myself. I hope it turns out that more people might benefit from it!

Totally understand where your coming from, I'm in the same boat, unfortunately real day job consumed every waking hour, and my I haven't updated my one app since 3.5

(since we can't PM on the forums, I'd love to have a more detailed discussion if your interested can you email me at info [at] rpgtouch [dot] com
