3.5
Upgrade Set for Mindscapes
This
is an upgrade file only, for those who have previously purchased
Mindscapes: A Psion's Guide and/or Mindscapes:
Beasts of the Id.
Malhavoc
Press has created an updated versions of the electronic
(PDF) editions of Mindscapes: A Psion's Guide and
Mindscapes: Beasts of the Id. The new versions, which
update the books to be compatible with v. 3.5 of the d20
System rules and the Expanded Psionics Handbook,
are now for sale.
Those
of you who have already bought one or both of these PDFs
can purchase this low-cost upgrade to update your copies
to the new version! This upgrade contains a separate upgrade
file for each of the two Mindscapes
PDF volumes.
The
electronic upgrades, for Windows users, are just files that
you download, unzip, and then execute. You'll be asked where
your copy of each PDF is, and then it will automatically
change your PDF copy of the book to reflect the changes.
(You might be told that the time stamp on your PDF doesn't
match, but don't worry, it will still work.) Of course,
you must have previously purchased the electronic edition
of A Psion's Guide or Beasts of the Id for
the upgrade to work.
Important:
If you bought Mindscapes: A Psion's Guide and/or
Mindscapes: Beasts of the Id on or after July 8,
2004, you DO NOT need this upgrade.
USING
THE UPGRADE:
1. Make sure you have a backup copy of your original PDF
files.
2. Make sure you have the most recent prior version of A
Psion's Guide, or the upgrade for that product will
not work. To get the most recent prior version, you must
have purchased your copy of the PDF on or after March 13,
2003, or have run a prior free patch. For the earlier free
patch, see below.
3. Go to our online
catalog to buy the upgrade. Proceed through checkout
there, then download it from the link provided.
4. Unzip/run the upgrades for each of the PDFs, one at a
time.

Content
Note: This upgrade only updates the previous PDF editions
of these books to v.3.5 of the d20 System. It does not add
any entirely new content. The resulting updated version
of A Psion's Guide is actually slightly shorter than
the previous version. Some variant rules from the previous
edition of A Psion's Guide, such as the attack and
defense modes as powers, were removed from this new edition,
because they were adopted into the official d20 psionics
rules.
Questions?
Post them to Monte Cook's
psionics message board forum.

Free Patch: Update 1
Due
to changes in the d20 System Reference Document, Malhavoc
Press has created an updated version of the Mindscapes:
A Psion's Guide PDF after its original release.
(We had to remove references to certain tentacled and froglike
creatures.) The free Update 1 patch fixes a few typos and
keeps the product in compliance with the latest update of
the d20 SRD. To download the patch, click on the link below.
You
must use the Update 1 patch if you want to use the 3.5 upgrade
described above and you downloaded the book before March
13, 2003. If you downloaded the book after March
13, 2003, go straight to the 3.5 Upgrade described above.
