Paizo DTRPG now has Paizo's Pathfinder & Starfinder catalogue

After nearly 20 years of official Pathfinder and Starfinder absence at DriveThruRPG, Paizo has finally joined the site and made over 1,200 titles available with many more to come.

The titles include not just current Pathfinder and Starfinder 2E Remastered books, but also an extensive back-catalogue going back to Pathfinder 1E.

RIght now, the catalogue appears to be PDF-only. In a joint press release, both companies announced that over the coming months, most Paizo titles will be available in print as well as PDF.

The companies will be adding a feature called Paizo Connect, which allows customers to link their Paizo and DriveThruRPG accounts and sync their PDF libraries.

Interesting that it says the print stuff will be there too. Trading one distributor for another?

DTRPG isn't a distributor, it's a retailer.

DTRPG isn't a distributor, it's a retailer.

With a side of manufacturing with its Print on Demand division.

Print as well would be nice. I have plenty of stuff on the Paizo store (or rather, from the Paizo store, although there's probably some that I need to download again) but I'd like to entertain print versions of that stuff for many of them. I just bought Heroes of Horror in print off Amazon because it was pretty cheap, and it made me think that I want to collect more physical copies of stuff that I have on pdf. If I'm actually going to use them rather than just read them, that's always preferable.

Yes. That is not distribution. Distribution is buying stock from publishers, storing it in warehouses, and selling them on to retailers. DTRPG does not do that.

The Print-On-Demand is a pass-thru to Ingrahm. It's closer to a Print Concierge...

The linking makes it easier for me to see what I have of a product line. I don't know about the rest of you but every time I see a new humble bundle /Fanatical/ itch.io/ bundle of holding offer I have to sort through which I have vs which I don't before I can decide if it's worth it. HB, Fanatical and BoH now all link to DTRPG making it much easier. Paizo was one of the big outliers that didn't link.

G/ood point. So theoretically with DTRPG they might be making twice what they would make with Diamond, on a per-piece basis...

Depends what their cut with Diamond was and what they've negotiated with DTRPG. We don't know either figure.

Of course. The word "theoretically" was carrying most of the load in my post...

I find it curious that it's a lot of material, but not all of it -- at least, I certainly can't find "Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Distant Worlds", which is still available as a PDF from Paizo itself. They have quite a few from that series, but not that particular one. shrug
