Did he mention we need a 30' template?
I love my templates, need to start bringing them for our EtCG campaign.

Just a quick post to remind you that if you do a 30' burst for the cleric (and yes I will buy one in a heartbeat)It needs to be centred on a square rather than a point like all the other templates otherwise the burst will be uneven and you have arguments about what corner to place the template on.
Speaking of which how do you guys handle that situation. My players regularly carry around a stone with silence cast on it. The monk carries it on his person but all the templates are centred on a point not a square because the spell rules make you target your spell there.
What does everone else do for this circumstance???

You're mistaken:
Some effects, notably clouds and fogs, spread out from a point of origin, which must be a grid intersection...
The point of origin of a spell is always a grid intersection.
Your monk may choose any corner of his square as the center of the effect.

Yeah I know that's what it says, and it's there for gameplay ease,but that just seems lopsided and helps to destroy the suspension of disbelief. I was hoping for an answer that ,i don't know, seemed more realistic if you say that of an imaginary world with magic and dragons :-).. The game runs smoothly and then something like that comes along which just helps to reinforce in everyones mind... Just a game and now we have to resort to a silly rule for the ease of gameplay.
Just my thoughts. I have ended up cuting out a 20' template from coloured plastic that centres on a square. It's slightly wider in the some areas but less so in others so as not to enlargen the area of effect too much.
These are a great product... but the price is fairly high. I do not know how much it was to make this items but you could (been a while since I looked) source them for alot less than the advertised price.
I have a full set... and I look forward to the day when I can use them. The players that I GM rarely play arcanist or use area effects.

These weren't created by Paizo. Rather, one of our partners, Steel Sqwire, made them, so we have very little control over the price. Just a FYI.

Anything ever happen with this idea? The 30' for channeling is a no brainer.I have a bunch of these, and would love a 30' one as well.Another vote for the mighty 30' template.

As we sell through our existing inventory, the time at which we'll seriously plan revisions to the line grows closer. But not yet...
I agree this is an awesome idea, but why do people buy these rather than buy a cheap bundle of hangars at Wal Mart and use a pair of pliers?
You want them colored? Buy a can of acrylic paint and make use of old newspapers and what not.
For $10 dollars and a couple of hours of patience, if you paint them and need to wait for them to dry, otherwise only about an hour, you can own a pair of pliers, a can of paint of one of your favorite colors, and enough hangars to make as many of these as you will ever need, and get the satisfaction of being the one who made them!
Only trick to making these is to keep them on a flat surface while bending them, such as a kitchen counter top. I also keep a heavy book on the part I have already bent to help keep it flat, over all.
If you, or someone you know, owns some power tools, use some ply wood to make yourself a template around which to bend these.
Do that and you can make yourself, and everyone you game with, as many as you each want, for comparatively very little money. The template will help you go faster and have fewer problems with the bends and keeping it flat.

For the same reason some people change their own oil in the car, and some people don't.
It is a matter over weighing the time over cost with your own set of priorities.
Some people, cost is most important and your suggestion will be enjoyed. Others the time investment wins out, and they would rather purchase. ((I have found in my own personal life, the more disposable cash I have, the more likely I'd rather just purchase/pay someone else to do it...))

The way I decide on a purchase is math.
You say about an hour to make these your self with out painting them maybe a little longer if I do paint them.
I consider my personal time more valuable than $30 an hour. So I'd rather pay that amount and then play more games or play with my son Thomas and Friends. (He calls Wooo Woooo)
No doubt I could make something just as nice if not nicer. Just a measured decision.

I wonder how much of the inventory is sitting there, unpurchased pretty much because there isn't a 30ft template to go with it.
I'm not trying to be negative... I've just looked at this product repeatedly every time for the last two years that it's been mentioned. Each time I don't buy it because it's still functionally incomplete. Like a set of dice with no d8.
Maybe if you were ordering X new full sets from Steel Squire you could convince them to ship you an additional Y 30ft templates so you could round out your current inventory, making X+Y full sets available... and desirable, instead of Y sets sitting there blocking potential sales.
Of course, for all I know this is an unpopular product and Y is something silly like 3 and you've only sold a dozen sets since introduction. No clue, except my psychology.
