I had sold off all my pathfinder books when Pathfinder 2nd came out. This month went back and picked up allot of the pathfinder books in pocket format. Hard backs of the mythic, unchained, and ultimate campaign. Did not pick up the horror, ultimate intrigue, and the book with the shifter in it. I do have those in PDF. The only one left to pick up is ultimate Magic. It was sold out everywhere in pocket. Will maybe get it in hardback format next month. Getting about 90 percent of the books in pocket did help the wallet out. I get multiples of the books and think spent around 300. Also got good deals on the hardbacks so did pick up.

Glad I didn't sell my books, though I wish we had pocket versions of Mythic, Unchained, and Ultimate campaign.
For me it came down to a space thing. Had to make room for the new addition of Pathfinder. The pocket editions really save on shelf space. Got about 80 percent what I wanted in pocket. The rest in the hardbacks. Was able to get 2 hardbacks of ultimate magic. About to do this for Starfinder. Although will keep the pocket editions do have of Starfinder.
Wow! It has been almost 6 years since I started this discussion. I feel old.

I think I first heard about Pathfinder through ads in Dragon. I downloaded the beta rules, but never got around to playing it until 2013. I'd been running D&D 3.5 for a full decade at that point, because I never liked 4E enough to GM it. I made the change to PF in large part because I was using Green Ronin's Freeport setting for a 3.5 campaign, and they had announced that their next setting guide would use PF. My family and another couple in the group relocated for work in mid-2013, which allowed us to continue the campaign after a long hiatus, and I used that time to convert the campaign. That game continued for another year or so after that, so we counted that a success, and PF1 was solidly our new system of choice.
A year or two later, we all got into PFS, and from then on, the majority of our gaming was Society-related, though we still did occasional homebrew campaigns and one-shot modules as well.
2005? Get off my lawn yah dang kids!I can shout that now to the kids of the kids I first told to get off my lawn.
Same here. The alias I'm posted under is the one I created for whenever someone makes me feel ancient for being a TTRPG player since 1984. :D
My kids were born in 2004 and 2005, and both have been playing TTRPGs from a young age. The elder one has been GMing PFS 2E since Season 2 or 3, I think, and now GMs SFS 2E, too.
I feel old knowing I started playing TTRPGs in 2005.
I started around 1993/1994.
