Is Pathfinder Beta still up?


Customer Service


I added the free Pathfinder Beta pdf to my shopping cart and "purchased" it. It's in my download section of my account, but the link to download it does not exist.

Is the beta still up for download or not?

I kind of wanted it to preview the content in case I wish to buy the real products

Thanks!

My Beta is still in My Downloads, but the personalizer seems to be wonky right now. They've been having some server issues semi-related to their weekend move to new offices. In the meantime, you might check the PRD. It's the actual final rules available online.


I thought that early in the playtest period it was said that the Beta would be available only until the final ruleset was published. I might not be remembering correctly. If so, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the Beta material shows up someday in an optional-rule, Unearthed Arcana type product in the RPG line.


I just personalized and re-downloaded the Beta from "My Downloads", and it worked just fine.

But was it already in your downloads? I can't even find the Beta to add to a cart. I think if you had it before, you still have it, but if you're trying to get it now you're probably out of luck.


Alrighty, I'm finally picking up what you're putting down...

It'd be a shame to see it disappear - I've got no intent of getting rid of my hardcopies of the beta, nor my PDF, as I consider them both to still be a useful resource, so I'm definitely sympathetic to those who can't actually DL it any longer. :(

You may find Pathfinder Beta by going into the store, click on downloads and then choose free downloads. It is listed alphabetically with the other free download products available through the store.

Oops, my bad. Thanks for the correction.

Those who already downloaded the Beta still have access to it, but as of now, it's no longer available to new customers.

A better solution to the "try before you buy" issue is the Pathfinder RPG Reference Document, which presents the full Open Game Content from the finished rules.
