Ten days before the launch of their much-anticipated Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook, Paizo Publishing today announced that the first print run of the book has sold out, with all preordered copies on their way to stores for an August 13 release. With preorders more than five times greater than for any previous product in Paizo's seven-year history, orders for the Core Rulebook continue to mount even as the company speeds to produce another print run. Paizo.com has retained enough copies to handle all paizo.com subscriptions and pre-orders.
According to the Paizo newsletter, it seems as if, after a long time of offering the Beta of their d20 revamp as a download, Paizo is proving wrong the opinion that offering your stuff for free doesn't work. It has worked for them and they have sold out on the hardcopy of their new rulebook which is, in this jaded DM's opinion, a massive improvement on the 3.5 rules-set."
