...and God kills a kitten and a puppy. Think about the poor kittens and puppies!

320, in about two weeks, just before the end of the month, if your in the U.S.

Over here in europe it takes longer, and is more random depending on the store.

At one point it was saying 328 pages. I would say for sure it is around 320 pages....

I could swear that at one point it did say it in the description.

Well people are faster than me already answered. :) That was bloody weird. I sure as heck didn't see the other posts there not for the 31 minutes. Hmmmm....Oh well.

Actually, and if I remember right, it's 328 pages. We had to add 8 pages to fit in all the back matter stuff we wanted like the OGL and encounter tables and some extra indexes.

Am I understanding correctly that that this book is in-stock, ready to ship, and I could have it in my hands in a week or two?

Yes.

I just want my precious PDF. ;-;

Even though I didn't pre-order it?

Even though I didn't pre-order it?

Pre-order + subscription pre-order = shipping either today (13Oct09) or tomorrow (14Oct09)

That is all.

I was so eagerly awaiting my shipment of the Bestiary that I set my mail account to forward all mail from Paizo to my phone as a text.

So, just as I'm walking away from the messageboards, taking a drink and heading back to bed... my phone chirrups happily.

A package containing 1 item from Paizo Order #1241199 is expected to ship from the Paizo warehouse by Wednesday, October 14 via Standard Postal Delivery, estimated 4 to 8 business days in transit.

My PDF is unlocked, my book is en route, and Paizo has made one very sick woman (who is home with the flu, trying desperately to find the proper balance of codeine coma and eagerness for new book) very happy.

Thank you Paizo, for proving yourselves:

a) Incredible
b) Awesome
c) Sadistic (Seriously, JUST as I was returning to bed)
d) All of the above

Woot!

Shipping notice received, PDF downloaded!

Thanks, Paizopeoples!

You know, much as I'm glad that I'm supporting my FLGS, its times like this that I miss being a subscriber . . . at least I'm still pre-ordered at the FLGS.

I has a pdf! ^_^

I am looking at the Pathfinder RPG Bestiary, and am hugging it. Great job, PAIZO. Once again, you've created a timeless gift to the gaming community of breathtaking quality.

And through your actions, your FLGS can continue providing quality products by Paizo. Have a virtual hug! *HUG*

According to the main online stores, the delivery has been delayed until mid-late November. Is this true of product ordered from Paizo online store? BN and Borders have it listed for the end of October, Amazon has mid-November... Any idea of the impact?

Mine is shipping on wednesday and should arrive 4 to 8 days later, according to the e-mail i got this morning.

Edit : And i've got the download :)

Thanks, maybe I should just order it from Paizo and pay the extra $8 that I was saving at the online stores...

I wish all RPG publishers would adopt Evil Hat's PDF policy. Specifically, I'm talking about the if you buy a book at a game store you get the PDF for free.

Correction - the $13 + shipping and handling that I will save buying from Amazon.com...

Take in consideration the free PDF if you order from Paizo...

Right, so if I do not, then I am paying $20+ based on shipping to PA.

If I do, then it is $10+ based on the cost of the PDF...

Guess I have to decide if I want to subscribe or not...

Does anyone know what's the average domestic shipping cost for getting this from Paizo? I'm just trying to factor in my costs. [feigns shock] My Amazon pre-order got bumped to mid November as well. [/feigns shock]

If you're buying online, I'd go through Paizo. If you're wanting to buy at a store, I recommend that instead.

Just my tuppence.

Placing an order will automatically show your shipping costs. My subscription was:

Subtotal (1 Item) $33.99
Shipping & Handling $6.54

That's with the AP discount, and shipping from WA to Northern California.

As I, too, pre-order all Paizo stuff at my FLGS (to support them and also to promote these excellent products), I feel the same way...

If it's a consolation Asgetrion and K.E. Jr.. I'm a subscriber, who currently isn't set to hold for anything before shipping, and I have no PDF.

I'm not sure many folks do, because I don't see as much chatter as I would have thought.. at least at the time of this writing.

Still.....waiting

*drools all over the keyboard as he goes through the PDF*

Amazing!

Ok, I have a brilliant (to me, at least) idea! (Stop me if this sounds dumb or hard to implement).

I know this wouldn't be put in anytime soon to fix my lack of Bestiary, but I was thinking about the issue and I was wondering if this sounded like it might work.

Could there be a suboption for subscribers who are set to Monthly or Ship With AP, that is like "with early PDF access". A subscriber who has the suboption selected would be opting to do something like so:

For example, lets use my account as an example, the proposed price of the Bestiary PDF will be 9.99. I'll be waiting a week until Seeker of Secrets comes out before I get my bestiary shipped, which means I can't look at the PDF for a week. What if, my card was charged the full PDF price of 9.99, allowing me to read the PDF for the next week. These PDF charges are subtracted from the total owed of the monthly shipment (ie: next week I'd be charged "Bestiary - Bestiary PDF"). This way I would be sated with a PDF until the actual hardcover ships, and if I randomly cancelled my order you would have already received full payment for the PDF I have downloaded.

Any thoughts?

Anyone that has the PDF already that would be interested in reviewing the Bestiary on Know Direction can drop me a line: knowdirection_at_hotmail_dot_com

*drools all over the keyboard as he goes through the PDF*

Amazing!

*GRRRR*, you're practically begging me to send my Imp squad to sabotage your computer and to drag your sorry carcass to Citadel Rivad! ;P

Alright, Watcher, that's acceptable... you're spared from a surprise visit of the Asmodean Inquisition! ;)

Based on my pre-purchase info, it came out to about 6.50.

Thanks for the tuppence! Now I just need about 300 more of them to cover the cost difference between Paizo rates and Amazon's! :)

Yes, I agree, order through Paizo, if you don't mind paying more... Of course, you get a cheaper amount with poorer service...

I guess you get what you pay for. :(

As it's now in stock, if you order it from us, we'll ship it to you right away.

We shipped the Bestiary to all of our distributors last week. We've set the retail release date at October 21, which should be enough time for most of our distributors to get copies to most of their retailers. I have no idea why Amazon is post-dating the release date.

Sorry—our subscription fulfillment process is built around the act of shipping packages, and dividing up the PDF from the print edition would, to be frank, make our programmers cry.

Aww... well, it was worth a shot :) If I order the pdf out of impatience while waiting for the subscription to ship, will it mess anything up when the subscription ships?

To the Tune of 'Time' by Hootie and the Blowfish

Piiiazo, why you punish me?
Like a damn carrot dangling on a stick
You wash away my dreams.

Can you send mine before tommorrow
End all the pain and sorrow
PDF for free?
Cause tomorrows just another day
And I dont believe......

Well I have my PDF as well. I mean I do so want my "Dead Tree" copy but I so like the PDF and it is tiding me over very well. It is going to make my updating RotRl AP so much easier! You folks at Paizo really do right by your customers!

If I order the pdf out of impatience while waiting for the subscription to ship, will it mess anything up when the subscription ships?

You can't order the pdf until the 21st. The only way to get a pdf before then is to get one when your subscriber copy ships.

Gone midnight here in the Netherlands - maybe I'll have a shipping notification in the morning. Oh yeah - and a pdf, though that's definitely not what I'm waiting for. Honestly :-)

Oh, alright, you got me...

Can you guys charge my card for my subscription order? So I could get the PDF... :O)

I understand I added a bunch of stuff to my subscription so really it is my own fault. Plus it is not like I am running a game with it any time soon. School, 18 month old, and work taking all the important time away....

Just want to see it...yet can wait but maybe.....

Here's to hoping/dreaming...
