I've got the M&M 1E core book, and ordered a couple other 1E supplements, but it seems that 2E is where things really exploded, and 3E came out recently. What can you tell me about the various versions? 1E is an OGL'd D20 derivative, obviously with a few key changes, but, at it's core, it's still D20 to me, easy to grasp. What changes from 1E to 2E, and then from 2E to 3E?
Please cancel order #1718571. This shouldn't affect my subscription copy, correct? Many thanks! Edit: Also, while we're playing with my orders - any update on the status of the Craftics glue from order #1707765? I do see the word "usually", so it seems that I'm now into "unusual" territory, as we're past the 12-51 day range. Not a huge deal, just kinda curious when I might see my tube o'adhesiveness. Thanks a second time! :D
There was a Blackmoor "Living" campaign that they referred to as an MMRPG, and it had 3 "seasons" of downloadable modules on the website, since retired. I could have sworn that I had these, but for the life of me, I cannot find them on any storage device. Is there any chance that someone here has them? Thanks in advance!
Disclaimer: not my auction, just found it while searching. Seems to be a deal for someone trying to find the first issue. 13 books, one of them Burnt Offerings, for $75 shipped (of which Burnt Offerings seems to sell for alone). Not the greatest of other books, but not entirely BAD stuff, and the quantity alone seems to sweeten the deal.
The updates to the My Downloads feature are fantastic, but I'm greedy and want more... :) Is there a way to flag (say, by coloring in red, or sorting or something) all downloads that have been updated since you last downloaded them? Additionally, as the date features got added after many things were in my archive, a lot of them show "No Data" for "Date Last Downloaded". Is there a way to set those to a date (even today's date) so that I can tell that I've downloaded them since they've been updated? Thank you!
Good morning! Just curious what we should be expecting for the July shipment this year. The sample/preview for July looked a bit light, and now it's not showing at all in "My Subscriptions". Traditionally, it seems that July has been the "big" month, where we got July and August's stuff due to GenCon, so I was just curious if we should anticipate the same this year. Looking at the product line pages, the following show a "July 2011" release:
Is this looking about right? Not a big deal, just trying to determine what to plan for. Thanks!
Hi there! A few queries: What happened to the ability to store credit cards for use with non-subscription orders? I seem to remember that I had this ability, and now, I have to key in the number each time. If that's not going to return, is it possible to be able to enter the CVV2 code PRIOR to clicking "Place Order"? A minor annoyance, to be sure, but I always seem to put my card away right before clicking the button, then have to drag it out again since I haven't memorized things. Finally, another minor annoyance: Instead of having to choose "Visa" or "MasterCard", is it possible to just have the order page automatically detect this? All Visa begin with a 4, MasterCard with a 5. Just seems a useless step, and frustrating when I miss it/ignore it, and have to re-key in the entire number again. Anyhow - none of these are HUGE deals, but it would be awesome if they weren't any kind of deal at all. Thanks for the awesome!
Greetings! Someone just linked to the Dungeon Magazine supplements that I never knew about, and the stuff for issue #108 appears to be missing links. It reads:
That's all there is for it. Any chance of recovering the links to the PDF or ZIP?
I know there's been threads about this, but can't seem to find them. Curious what you all are aware of as far as fiction that served as a DIRECT inspiration for elements of D&D. I'm not thinking so much as LoTR, but examples such as: Voyage of the Space Beagle (or Black Destroyer?) - A.E. van Vogt - Coeurl a.k.a. Displacer Beast The Dying Earth - Jack Vance - Spells such as Prismatic Spray Dying of the Light - George R.R. Martin - Githyanki Along those lines, what else can you think of, or do you have the links to threads of this nature?
Folks, I know you're out through Monday, so I'll try to be patient. USPS just delivered this order. Instead of the signed first print that I payed $150 for, I received an unsigned fouth printing. It was packed quite nice, with styrofoam corner protectors, which is great, but I'd really rather have signatures inside. Please, please help.
Just putting some feelers out there for folks that might be looking for a gaming group. We're down to a group of 4 (including whoever has the GM reigns for a given session), and would like to get the group back up to 5-6 players. We're invested in 3E/3.5 or other D20-based stuff such as Modern, SW (D20 or RCR, but I've got the Saga stuff) and Pathfinder. We're open to some other games, too - I'd like to put some of my 2E/3E/4E Shadowrun stuff to use, for example. If you reside in this area and don't mind driving to Lebanon for gaming, my email is in my profile, and we'd be interested in hearing from you.
So, consider me officially confused, and requesting clarification. It's been my understanding from the numerous posts on the subject, that Paizo did not see a viable method of getting PDFs into stores, that Paizo had no plan to develop a method to do so, and that even if those hurdles were cleared, that Paizo had no desire to do so, as they felt that it would impact the subscription model. Black Diamond Games commented on their GTS presentation post the following: Paizo is trying to level that playing field both with deliveries closer to street dates and PDFs available through retailers, which they hope to get done by this Summer. This seems to completely contradict everything we've heard. Can anyone shed more light on this? Like a lot of folks, I'd like to support my FLGS (or F-not-so-LGS, as it were), but am not willing to do so at the loss of subscription benefits.
When I was in 5th or 6th grade, a literature textbook contained a short story or a chapter of an interesting Arthurian book. Over the years, I've half-heartedly looked for it, but never could find it. I seem to remember it being by Ursula Le Guin, but I could be mistaken, so I'll recount what I can remember about the plot. A group of travelers (time travelers, perhaps, or dimensional travelers? They seemed to be from our modern world) encounters Queen Guinevere and her/Arthur's court. Arthur was put to rest in the lake, along with Excalibur, but during the winter, someone stole the lake by cutting up the ice blocks and hauling them away on pack animals, far up into some mountains. The travelers contained a teen/young woman, an older educated/professor-type male, and others. That's about what I can remember. Anyone at all familiar with this story?
Hi there! I just got a chance to dive into my recent orders, which have been sitting on the shelf since they arrived. My Bestiary 2 is seriously tweaked on the back cover, and the back pages, looks to be some crush-damage or something. Can we arrange an exchange on this, pretty please? I'm also emailing pictures to your customer.service email address of the book in question (same subject as this thread). Please let me know what I need to do to return this. Thank you!
On Christmas Eve, as it grows ever nearer to the glorious day, I find myself with one more wish for tomorrow: Please reunite the Creative Juices team, and bring us (at least) another 50 D&D PHB PSAs. Their awesome gamer comedy is sorely missed! Thank you! (P.S. Please get them to fix the audio missing on PSA #38!)
If this has been brought up before, forgive me... The "1 new" or "43 new" messages notification, when hovering over, doesn't actually show the new message, but the message right before it. Clicking on it takes to the last "old" message, not the first "new" message. Just curious if this was intentional, or if this was a bug?
So, I understand most of the charge cycle (an authorization, followed by an actual charge once the order ships, and the earlier authorization falling off). I'm just kinda curious about the specifics of my order. Order total was $189.69 Confirmation email said that my card has been charged $25.99, and the remainder would be charged when they ship. I have two authorizations on my card from Paizo right now, one for $156.77 and one for $189.69. When you folks aren't swamped with other order issues, I'd be interested to learn how this whole thing works, and why the different numbers came up, as I'm a bit confused, since I haven't received a shipping confirmation email.
Is there a way to hide/mask items that I've already purchased, so that I can see what's still available that I haven't bought, without having to scroll through everything? Additionally, it would be nice to be able to tag an item as "purchased" so that if I've purchased it off-site, I can hide it for sorting purposes...
Howdy, all. I'm trying to compile a list of "official" CoC D20 sourcebooks, and was wondering if anyone knew all of what was out there. I know that WotC released a hardcover CoC D20 core book under license, and I heard rumor of a softcover. I've seen a Delta Green D20 book. What else was released for the game, either directly or under license? I heard tell of some BRP/D20 dual-stat books, but can't find a ton of info on them...
Hi there! I ordered this during the Goodman Games blowout sale back in December, and just got around to taking a look at the stuff. Turns out that while I ordered one of each copy of the stuff for sale - specifically, including the book "Etherscope: The Great Metropolis" - I did not receive that, but received two copies of "Etherscope: Mysteries of the Occult". What can I do to return the duplicate copy (don't need two of them) and receive the item I ordered? Many thanks!
Getting rid of "extras", if you're interested: RotRL bundle starting at $10/issue. Dungeon Magazines bundles starting at $1.00/issue.
Is there a list somewhere of all of the Pathfinder products that have been released, short of going to every product page and compiling it myself? Also, is there any announcement anywhere of what products you folks are running short of? I got into the Pathfinder collecting game late, and while I'm building that collection, if there's out-of-print product that's close to being out-of-stock, I'd like to go after that stuff first... Many thanks!
Hi there! Seems there was a glitch on my subscription. I saw people talking about getting the notice, or downloading AP #30, didn't have any email about mine, figured I'd give it a few days before I posted. Just checked my subscriptions, and I find this:
Not sure why #30 got passed over, but can you folks send me a copy/fix my sub? Many thanks!
I had thought that 3.5 removed the risk of hitting a friend when firing into melee, replacing it with a -4 penalty, but it appears that 3E was the same. Anyone remember the previous rules, where there was actually a risk of hitting the friend? Is there a printed source for this that I can check out?
Hi there! Just curious how "bad" the 5 CotCT AP issues you're selling as "dent-and-scratch" are - was thinking about jumping on these. I'm not looking for perfect, obviously, but some serious damage or major creases (like, half the cover folded over) would turn me off. Corner damage, etc, I could probably deal with.
This was a Paizo product, right? I'm curious how much RPG content was in the mags. They look intriguing, but they're not exactly cheap, the back issues. Anyone here have a run of them? Worth the investment? ETA: Let me rephrase that - the back issues that Paizo doesn't have (and that I just ordered) aren't exactly cheap via other sellers. I don't know how I missed these... I guess I may be able to judge for myself, when they arrive in 4 to 8 business days.
Over the past few years of lurking around forums, I've noticed a pretty regular recurring subject, that of system-suitability. I've seen WEG D6 Star Wars described as "perfect" for SW, for it's "cinematic" style of play, and how horrible WotC D20 or Saga Star Wars was for the license. Conversely, recently, I've seen posts on forums state that the WEG D6 system was completely inappropriate, that D20 SW was close, but Saga gets it perfect. I've seen posts that complain about D20 being applied to various properties, describing it as "shoehorning" the particular property into the system. Today I found a post referring to MERP, and how the setting was warped to fit the system. Now, I can't claim a ton of experience with a ton of systems. I and my group/friends predominantly play D&D/D20-based stuff. I've played some old Marvel Super Heroes (FASERIP), Shadowrun 2E, Morrow Project, RIFTS and a few other odds and ends, but I've never really found any issue with system suitability. I've found systems that I really don't care for, and I've found systems with "bugs" in them, but nothing that stands out to the tune of "Man, I love Duck Tales, but 'System Y' is NOT the system to play this in. It works so much better as 'System Z'." I've seen a couple of comments that start to scratch the surface, but they don't really make a ton of sense to me. As an example - a post I read somewhere complained about the Dr. Who setting, and it being placed in a "combat simulator" system that wasn't appropriate to the genre. I guess what I don't understand, given my limited exposure to various systems, is that it seems that the combat could be disregarded. I've seen similar claims brought against other systems (including ones I've played), but I don't really grasp how one can't divorce the combat from the RP - I get that, to use the Dr. Who example, that combat is a very neglible part of the particular property - but can't you/the GM ignore combat, and utilize the non-combat rules? Can anyone expound upon this for me? A general overview, property-specific or system-specific examples, however you want to explain, it would be most appreciated.
I've noticed on a few orders in the past, that sometimes Medial Mail is an option, and other times, it isn't. I've seen a couple of threads questioning this, and I think it had something to do with USPS restrictions on what is considered legit - bound printed material, CDs, etc. What about Parcel Post? I couldn't find any threads that mentioned this, and was just curious why this wasn't an available option? Transit time appears to be similar to Media Mail, but it's not nearly as expensive as Priority Mail is at times. On that note, is there any system in place that accomodates Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes? Thanks for appeasing my curiosity!
