Game Of The Week: Pathfinder RPG Beta

Okay, as I've admitted numerous times, I'm a bit of a Paizo fanboi. It's only fair, therefore, that I make this week's game of the week reflect one of Paizo's much awaited releases for GenCon... the Pathfinder RPG Beta rules. These aren't the final rules of course, but rather the culmination of three releases of alpha rules and the input of countless Paizo messageboard regulars.
The process so far has been amazingly open, and while I did download the Alpha rules, I confess that I've been waiting for the beta release so I could have a nice paper release to refer to. I know, tech junkie who needs to read paper... it's my complaint about the online Dungeon and Dragon magazine releases too!
Anyway, it releases at GenCon along with a ton of other Paizo goodness, and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. This is the lifeline for everyone who is hoping for their 3.5 material not to go to waste, and also for many who simply don't like 4th edition.






I'm excited about this, and what Paizo is doing with Pathfinder as a whole. They're really being a good steward of the D&D 3.X mythos, I think, and I wish them success in the venture.
