What is a digital toolset?
A digital toolset is a term we use to describe the comprehensive set of features that you’ll have access to through Pathfinder Nexus!

What is Demiplane?
Demiplane gives fans new ways tabletop games can be discovered, played, shared, and explored.
Do I have to pay to use Demiplane?
Demiplane offers a variety of features that enhance your gameplay that are free to use. Matchmaking, video and voice, shared journaling, and other gamespace features remain free to use. Pathfinder content is integrated after being unlocked by pre-ordering in our marketplace.

How do I sync my Paizo.com and Pathfinder Nexus accounts?
Visit the “Account Settings” option in the top-level Demiplane menu, then select “Sync Accounts” followed by “Paizo Connect.” Follow the instructions in the screen to generate your code and connect your account.

Do I have to pay to use Pathfinder Nexus?

Is there an app for Pathfinder Nexus?

I already own a physical copy of this book or I own a copy on Paizo.com. Why should I buy it through Pathfinder Nexus?
Great question! In addition to the official book you know and love, Pathfinder Nexus also includes digital tools that enhance play, global search, an easy-to-navigate digital reader, compendium game element listings, a character builder and interactive character sheets, and a fully-integrated gameplay experience through Demiplane. Plus by connecting your Paizo account with Pathfinder Nexus, you get a significant discount on purchasing books when you already own the PDF through Paizo.com!
I already own this book on Paizo.com, do I get a discount for Pathfinder Nexus?
Yes, if you own a copy of the PDF for that book. When you connect your Paizo account to Pathfinder Nexus, you can get a deep discount for any PDFs you already purchased through Paizo.com. The “digital” access must be unlocked through owning the PDF - hardcover-only purchases do not qualify for the discount.
Why doesn't my Paizo Connect discount appear with preordered content?
The way that Paizo Connect works, we can only connect to what Paizo has “available” in their store API, which for something like ongoing Adventure Paths, would only be what is currently created in their system. That being the case, we can’t credit what we can’t see. If you are a Paizo Subscriber or otherwise have later Adventure Path books preordered through Paizo, the best way to ensure you receive the Paizo Connect already-own-the-PDF discount on your Pathfinder NEXUS purchases would be to pick each book up as they go live on Pathfinder NEXUS. Adventure Paths aren’t bundles that provide any inherent discount, so the only real difference would be you’ll need to make several individual purchases instead of a single purchase at the beginning. Given the deep discount that Paizo Connect provides, we think that’s an acceptable tradeoff. We’ll continue to work with Paizo to see if there are ways to make how that all works better - we’ll see what happens in the future.
If I buy the digital book, will it also be available offline?
When you buy the digital book through Pathfinder Nexus, you’ll also get access to a PDF copy on Paizo.com that can be used offline. However, in order to access the interactive features of the digital tools on Pathfinder Nexus, you will need internet access.
If I buy the digital book through Pathfinder Nexus, do I have to buy it again on Paizo.com?
No, you do not! When you buy the digital source through Pathfinder Nexus you will automatically unlock access to the PDF from Paizo.com as part of that purchase (unless you already owned the PDF on Paizo.com - in that case, you will receive a discount for the Pathfinder Nexus source instead).
If I purchase several books at once, is there a discount?
A variety of product bundles will be made available over time, including an Ultimate Bundle that includes all Pathfinder official content, as well as bundles by book type - Rulebooks, Lost Omens, and Adventures. These bundles will be introduced later in the Early Access phase. Any money spent on pre-orders during Early Access will be credited to future bundle purchases once they are available.
Can I try out Pathfinder Nexus first before buying a book?
Absolutely! You can check out what Pathfinder Nexus is about by creating an account at pathfindernexus.com and you can check out a free sample of our Pathfinder Primer digital content here.
What can I access for free?
We love free samples too! You can access our Pathfinder Primer content for free, which you can find here. Enjoy and let us know what you think!
