Welcome to Paizo!

[Flixerine]

Thanks Paizo for doing this great humble bundle deal. I've been playing pathfinder for a long time now, but never actually had the chance to buy so many books so cheap. I hope you, as a company, exist for a long time, because I just love this openness with material compared to a certain other company. Really, best d20 game out there, even if not quite the easiest to get into. :)

How about an Icon for the Humble Bundle Peeps? Like we had for the Goblin Squad members.

[ShinsouBlue]

Hello, everyone. I bought the Humble Bundle of Pathfinder and here I am. I've been meaning to get into some pen and paper RPG games for a while and with the humble bundle, I managed to get this, so I hope I enjoy it!

[DSXMachina]

I'm sure you will, ShinsouBlue.

BTW paizopeeps, is there a basic guide for creating a character or starting to play PF? I think it'd be very handy for the new players.

Or has Know Direction or another podcast done one?

I think you can look at the strategy guide. Me looking through it, it explains some of the concepts in the game and features a part which explains how each class works.

It's the express purpose of the Strategy Guide. :)

Welcome. Don't feed me.

[Jake Scholl]

Glad to have been able to buy the books and help a charity... Thanks for doing this Paizo!

Also excited to play some Pathfinder ! :D

[CBDunkerson]

The bundle just passed a humble million dollars. That's a lot of new people.

[Falconone]

I play at the moment with a group D6D 3.5 and as an additional Source i took the pathfinder humble bundle stuff, sadly i cant load it at the moment XD

[Ed Reppert]

Patience is a virtue. :-)

Strategy guide is good. There's some decent youtube videos too. Sorry I don't have any links.

The servers are working as hard as they can to get things downloaded. Just hold on, your things will arrive!

[GM Rednal]

Nn. XD

I was chatting with a staff member on the stream the other day - apparently, their servers are apparently sending out about a terabyte per hour of PDFs. So they ARE working pretty hard...

I don't know if the following is what you're refering to, but there's the DawnForged Pathfinder Basics and Saving Throw's How to Play Pathfinder.

[Feros]

Oh, and since no one has mentioned it yet, a funny thing happens to your avatar when you use the word "Smurf" in a post on these boards. There is a thread for trying this out HERE. Please don't do it on this thread, as it will add clutter.

:D

[Digitalius]

I just wanted to say a HUGE thanks! I've been out of RPG'ing for 20 years, but I am starting back since my 12-year-old has been begging me to show him the world of RPG's and this awesome bundle came up! What a way to start with my son! Thank you again VERY much for putting these on HumbleBundle!

Here is the extremely simple character creation guide from d20pfsrd.com.

Hi, I just want to praise Paizo for joining the Humble Bundle initiative. Thanks to that many new gamers will have the opportunity to play this RPG. Even with the download problems, this is very worthwile.
Also, THANKS for putting so much care in all the manuals and guides - they are very captivating and easy to follow. You are the best - please keep on! Best wishes.

[Rozebud]

Hello! Been wanting to play Pathfinder for a long time, and the Humble Bundle was a great opportunity that I had to take (while also giving to charity!). Thank you so much for doing this, Paizo.

[Heine Stick]

Also, in case you newcomers feel like getting to know the cool characters featured in the artwork throughout the Pathfinder books (the iconics, as we call them), you can find their stories HERE.

Keep in mind that the entries are listed with the most recent at the top, so to get to the classics, just scroll down to the bottom of the page.

[silverfoxdmt73]

Hi there, I'm another newcomer via the fantastic Humble Bundle you lovely lot at Paizo ran.

Someone also suggested I look at the free stuff to go along with it, the Dungeon Bash 1 & 2 and the GM and Player kits which look like they are excellent additions to the Beginners Box, which I will be using for the first few games I run.

[Snorter]

Hello, Silverfoxdmt73,

If you're after some free stuff, be sure to check out the fan-created material, HERE, which expands on the setting of Golarion.
Many of the creators are active on these boards, and will probably become familiar faces in no time at all; some have already popped into this thread to say hello, including our first editor, in post #1.

Most of the content is designed to support the standard game, but includes a fair amount of edition neutral material like traveller's guides, fiction, and songs.
In the later issues, we began including some material specifically for the players of the Beginners Box, like the scenario in issue ten.
Enjoy!

Thanks everyone, Peebo & I were helping a new person in paizo chat go through the basics of the game & it was taking us a couple of hours.

Hello, first time poster, long time lurker and GM. Just wanted to come out of the lurk-closet. Nice cookie, thanks.

[Sissyl]

Hello, new people! We have a nice forum for you, even somewhere you can Win!!! Only thing you have to do is post last...

[Kobold Catgirl]

Don't send them there, Sissyl. That subforum was specifically designed as an inescapable prison for the people we don't like or trust. These people seem nice.

[Sissyl]

Can't be too careful, can we now, KC?

I was wondering, if I want to run a Pathfinder game, and I buy an adventure path, what other product or products are necessary in order to run the campaign? I assume I need to buy the Pathfinder rulebook? Anything else is necessary to run any particular adventure path? Or does each path contain all the rules outside the main rule book needed to run that path?

I assume the original poster has already moved beyond this thread, but for anyone who plans to run a Pathfinder Adventure Path, I strongly suggest checking out the AP area of the message boards. I've found the GM Reference threads for each book to be very helpful, and full of cool ideas for customizing the adventures.
