Hmmmm.
Indeed. As soon as they ship the books, the pdfs are available for download. And they remain available for download, too -- none of this "only 5 downloads" or "download it within this timeframe" crap some sites do. This policy was, in fact, one of the things that had me buying WotC pdfs from Paizo before WotC's inexplicable decision to stop selling them. |

Yeah, I just took advantage of that promotion, coupled with the American Eagles sale they've got going on. I got some old Mage material I'd always been interested in. |

| Love that American Eagles sale. Finally got around to opening the package that arrived this friday (been out of the house a lot), and found a copy of The Radiant Dragon in it. I'd pretty much decided that was one novel I'd never be able to get my hands on. |

I've had three copies of it, myself. I took one of them to Goodwill... I had my original copy which was lost in the fire, a replacement copy that was in okay condition, then another replacement which was mint. It's the only one of the Spelljammer novels I have that's in great condition. |

Neat. I'm particularly intrigued by this, given that constructs are among my favourite creature-types.
On a semi-related note, I've been loving the construct-goodness popping up in both Ultimate Magic and the two Bestiary volumes. |

Well, some companies, like Catalyst Game Labs, have limited download windows, but that's mainly for the sake of reducing the workload of their servers. The CGL staff will always allow extra downloads of PDF products, should customers need/request them. |

I'll admit, I've been relying on DriveThruRPG.com for my Catalyst purchases lately, as well. However, that's not due to any fault of the BattleCorps.com site. It's a SageBrowser issue.
For whatever reason, it loads DriveThru fine, but BattleCorps.com always loads up with errors, and won't let me properly add items to my virtual cart. |

You shouldn't have to ask, thinks I. I myself have rarely had occasion to download a file more than once, and even more rarely, as many as three times. Still, the fact that some companies limit that really bothers me. |

I would agree for the most part. But since I've known how hard the no-limits download policy of the BattleCorps servers has affected their ability to meet customer demand in the past, I can also certainly appreciate why the policy exists.
But I wholly agree with your view on companies which limit either the time or number of downloads you can make -- and sometimes without the safety net of a "special circumstances policy" that would normally allow extra downloads for customers mired in unexpected computer and/or financial situations. |

Pathfinder outselling D&D?
Saw this link of the WotC forums. |
"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding." Alaundo of Candlekeep |

It gets better and better. They announced The Lost Kingdoms book, contains Osirion, Thassilon, Ghol-gan (cyclopes) and three other lost realms, I hope Jistka and Sarkoris. And finally Giants Revisited, the last few books of the line were not that interesting. Also there will be a book similar to Realmspace. Don't care about pirates for now.
We finished the combined Runelords-Crimson Throne campaign, now not sure to start the Jade Regent or Kingmaker. |

Are these PATHFINDER updates coming from scribes who are attending this year's GenCon, or are you all picking up info from RPG news sites?

These all sound great. But I only nerdgasm'd over this next bit:-

Any other scribes have any tidbits to share about this book?

They are already announced on the Paizo site in the product discussion. |

From twitter and Paizo forum chatter, they've put up a product page for it, tentatively titled Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Distant Worlds, covering the other planets whirling about Golarion's star. For instance, Akiton the Red is rather...Barsoomian.  Golarion's solar system on its wiki |

Awesome stuff! I can definitely see this rejuvenating my current SPELLJAMMER campaign upon the tome's release.
My ideas for a "Golarionspace" crystal sphere, are just around the corner.  |

| It's likely there will be an adventure path in a year or two in Golarion's space, involving at least Akiton and Numeria. I'm ignoring the robot subtype from Dungeons of Golarion tough. We'll be playing Kingmaker til then. |

Is it considered gauche to pimp your own work on a relevant thread? Because Book of the Damned 3: Horsemen of the Apocalypse is out finally, and this is a book that I've been wanting to write for literally -years-.
Since there was never a Fiendish Codex III by WotC to cover the 'loths, there's enough homage here to some of the same tropes that it fills that notch. But given the difference between Paizo's daemons in Golarion's cosmos and the 1e-3.x yugoloths/daemons they're sufficiently different and distinct in terms of what cosmological niche they fill. Neither mercenaries nor ultimate masterminds of the Blood War, Paizo's daemons don't much care about the rest of the cosmos but they hate mortals and mortality with a zeal bordering upon the religious. Yet at the same time they're frequently fascinated and obsessed by how the soul works. Daemons are mortal life perverted and turned inwards, as if the universe saw what it had created and went mad, turning in on itself and hoping to end it all. They're the virus lurking in the flesh of the cosmos and its own multitude of Nidhoggs gnawing at the roots of the metaphorical world tree. They're the concept of death made manifest.
I'm usually horribly nitpicky and harsh on my own work, but I'm seriously proud of this one, and if anyone happens to snag a copy for themselves (print or pdf), I'm shamelessly asking for feedback, likes and dislikes on it. :D

I have always considered the Book of Elder Evils to be 3rd installment in the Fiendish Codexes. Given their purely chaotic Nature - more so then the 'Chaos' & 'Law' of other Fiendish types - I though it was supposed to be along the lines of a 'neutral evil' type of thing (more like aberrational, then fitting the other two 'norms' of evil).
But I can see how you (of all people) would get upset by no mention of the Lolths. Thanks for this heads-up; I plan to subscribe to the PF stuff very soon, and am looking forward to your contributions. 
And NO, its not Gauche at all. I started this thread, and anything pertaining to Golarion should be allowed. |

Lots of our designers and authors go out of their way to plug their own works. It's totally kosher. 
I'm reading that book right now, actually (meaning it's the one I grab when I go to my reading room).  |
