Hi,

I've been reduced to lurking on the boards the last few months, since I haven't had much time with work to post actively... but there is a question I've been meaning to ask.

What subscription am I missing to be a <Pathfinder Charter Superscriber>?

I've got Pathfinder Charter Subscriber, Pathfinder Chronicles, Pathfinder Modules and Planet Stories... what cool Paizo Product am I being deprived of? ;-)

*Its probably something obvious, but it didn't jump out at me when I scanned the Pathfinder and GameMastery pages.


You're missing Pathfinder Companion.


Ah. Thanks for that ;-)

I'll add that subscription then.

*I didn't see it on the main Pathfinder Page under the 4 subscriptions that it shows up top, but I did see it further down the page.

Sadly, five subs doesn't fit well into two columns. We didn't worry about it much until now, because the Companion line doesn't begin until August... but August is approaching!

(Pathfinder Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Modules Subscriber)

Don't forget, you can also be a Pathfinder Modules subscriber! (AKA "The modules formerly known as GameMastery" -- kinda like Prince, except for geeks like me.)

I think it'd be an effective layout to have a 2 column spanning "superscription" product along the top, and then you could move the Planet Stories item to another 2 column link at the bottom. That leaves room for all 4 "Pathfinder" subs in the middle, and makes it known to people that they the option of subscribing to everything is there too!

That would also take up much of the first "page" for that node on most people's displays, when many of them are just looking for details on a single product down below. It's a tricky thing to balance.

My suggestion at that point would be to bump Planet Stories off the Pathfinder page, to make space for Companion. It's not a good choice, but Companion needs to be there more than Planet Stories.

I think that's what's likely to happen, unless we think of something more clever.


How about a big banner that says 'I want to be a Paizo Superscriber - click here to learn how'. Then each product can get a 1 inch or so height with a picture and spread across the screen, and you click on it for more information on each product.

This would look sort of like what the search returns when you look for product.

Dear God in Heaven--please, pleasepleaseplease:

no flash animation or moving banners.


hmm... Vic, since you have responded to this thread already... when I added the fifth subscription, why did the titles beside my name switch to only Pathfinder Charter and Planet Stories? Shouldn't it of just switched to Charter Superscriber?

I double-checked my My Subscriptions page to make sure I hadn't deleted something by accident, and I show all 5 subscriptions as ongoing and active still.

Superscriber is for Pathfinder products. Planet Stories is separate. So you are both a Superscriber and a Planet Stories subscriber.

Oops.

Thanks Ross.

I misread the titles when I looked at it quickly, I've always included (mentally anyways) Planet Stories with the other Paizo products, since they get shipped in the same box. So seeing the two titles, I didn't really pay attention, since I was expecting only the one.

*Thats what I get for checking the message boards while playing WoW. ;-)

I'm waiting for the announcement of the 'Paizo Superscriber' tag for people who are both Pathfinder Superscribers and Planet Stories subscribers.

No, I wouldn't want a flash banner, and I wouldn't expect it from Paizo.

I meant sort of like this: http://paizo.com/search?q=pathfinder&what=all

If that doesn't display properly, just type 'Pathfinder' in the search field of the store and you'll see kind of what I was talking about.

Not that you'd see it, Mr. Superstar.

It won't be long until the next batch of Superstars take our tags. I won't see it for another reason: I'm not a Planet Stories subscriber.

Not that I wouldn't want it, it's just that my cognitive dissonance is aleady strained far enough justifying the subs I have on my meager assistantship.
