Speaking as a paraprofessional who loves sharing gaming experiences with my kiddos: yes, more minis and artwork and content depicting all kinds of people. Ty. +1. Upvote.

Edit: Oops, my title is still stuck on me! For clarity: not speaking on behalf of Paizo/no longer with the company.

In reference to the issue of alphabetical sorting, we've reverted the behavior back to sorting from newest to oldest products. This was a setting that was erroneously unset in the move. Apologies for the inconvenience that has caused!

Removed the replies on this thread. Folks, the Customer Service subforum is intended for customers to receive assistance from our Customer Service team. If you want to have a discussion about the success of Pathfinder Second Edition or the future of Paizo subscriptions, this is not the appropriate place for it and it will need to be taken to another thread/subforum.

We encourage meaningful and productive discussions on paizo.com. Presenting an idea without context or actionable prompts for a topic of discussion (such as phrasing as a question), particularly a statement that is going to result in heated responses, is counter to the engagement we'd like to see in these forums.

For additional context on moderation philosophy towards slavery threads, I'd reference our Customer & Community Manager's recent post.

Ok, I can't miss the mountain talk!

Mtn Nerd Stuff:
Carbinado and Orting (both towns as you drive through on the way to MRNP have large volcanic evacuation signs/alerts ready on their main roads) are in the path between Tahoma (Rainier) and the city of Tacoma. It is more likely those towns will be swept by mud/water/debris, spilling past Puyallup, and into the Sound. Tacoma and Seattle are both in projected lahar paths however. While this map is a couple years old, it's a helpful indicator of where activity could spread.

As Sara mentions above, Dakobed (Glacier Peak) is a pretty real danger. It's nestled deep in the Cascade range, difficult to get to, hasn't erupted in some time and is likely to have a fairly more intense eruption when it does. This page has the relevant info.

Now for mountain size, what's SUPER wild (to me anyway) is that Rainier completely dominates the skyline every day I live here (when it's not raining, obvs). However, in the contiguous US (Alaska has so many it's just impressive) it's the 5th tallest peak. Tumanguya (Mt Whitney), a mountain I can't even pick out of the Sierra as being itself from far way, is even bigger. Plus, mountains at 14K elevation are all over the danged place in Colorado. The mind boggles! Nature is wild!

Hey folks, our area received several more inches of snow and the office/warehouse are still closed. More snow is predicted to arrive throughout the week.

Because our area is topographically challenging and this kind of winter activity does not commonly occur, inches of snow (and over a foot in some places!) presents a decent amount of challenges to the area. For Paizo, our employees commute from various points in the region (which means everyone's got varying levels of accumulation) and some of us by bus (which is impacted by entire route cancellations). The sheer amount of ice from overnight refreezing, and unfamiliar drivers with these conditions (or even familiar drivers) makes it remarkably hazardous to travel.

I've removed the datestamp from the thread, as conditions continue to be unpredictable. Again, we'll update this thread with more info as we have it.

Apologies for the delay in updates! We just pushed through a fix that should have dislodged the last update and those new avatars should now be selectable. I don't have a new timeframe to provide at the moment for the next batch, but will post when we have a better idea of when we can get that scheduled (my hunch is sometime in mid-February).

Heya, I can confirm that this is a deliberate change. In the past, we provided the alternate versions of our PDFs due to their file size and performance, however, this has become less of an issue as time has gone on and readers/devices have improved. The change is also reflected in our Player Companion and Campaign Setting lines as well.

Hey folks! We apologize for the delays, as the team has been hit with a round of sickness as well. I've just attempted to load in a large batch of new avatars into (about 200!) but alas have run into a new festive group of goblins blocking the way this afternoon. I've tapped in a few other tech folks who will be stepping in after the holiday next week to give these a nudge. Once the avatars are freed and showing on the page, y'all will see access to avatars from:

Against the Aeon Throne Adventure Path
Strange Aeons Adventure Path
Ironfang Invasion Adventure Path
Ruins of Azlant Adventure Path

In the new year I hope to wrap up the AP volumes and catch up on hardcovers and the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game.

    • The required resources necessary to create a character of a new race have been clarified to accommodate special rules reference handouts included in certain scenarios.

    • Numerous faction-associated boons have been clarified or expanded, including hirelings, basic purchases, and improved faction champion boons.
    • Details are now available for the Exo-Guardians and Wayfinders capstone boons, providing playable statistics for a new race and starship hull.
    • The instructions for filling out a Chronicle sheet have been updated, including when a PC can purchase and sell gear.
    • Rules for applying credit have been relaxed slightly when using pregenerated characters in adventures that require the use of such characters.
    • Information about the Vehicle scenario tag and the Vanity boon descriptor has been added.
    • GMs' Chronicle sheet rewards have been clarified.
    • UPBs are now purchasable in single units rather than only in lots of 1,000.
    • The Tier 2 and Tier 6 Drake starships' shields and armaments have been updated to better match the hull's intended function.
    • The list of Regional Venture-Coordinators and regions has been updated.

    Please refer to the Paizo blog for more information.

    Removed the OP, replies, and closing this thread.

    While the original post may have been intended to be focused on the content of an employee comment regarding Power Attack, this OP (both in the subject and body of the post) can easily be interpreted as pointed/personally insulting commentary about a specific individual. Threads are going to be more useful/productive for the community and for our design/development teams if posts are kept constructive and focused on the content of the game, rather than individual people. It is not helpful to frame feedback with asides like "this person doesn't listen" or "this person didn't do basic math" or similar sentiments.

    A less cynical thought might be that the tech team has so much on their plate that they simply cannot take the time right now to fix it.

    It's true that we have quite a bit that we're juggling (especially while we're still seeking a Technology Manager and System Administrator). However, the team recognizes that this is a pretty serious obstruction for Organized Play and we've prioritized the fix to be wedged into our next release. We're currently in the midst of QA (while simultaneously addressing some beind-the-scenes issues that has been causing our site outages over the last day). Folks will see the following resolved as soon as we can vet that the functions are working as we expect and the rest of the items in this release are through the QA process:

  • Restoration of Venture-Captain's ability to look up characters for the purpose of resolving event issues/character issues
  • Revision of the Player/GM Session tabs to be a filterable tab that contains all character sessions (which are then filterable by character and all the other filters that were there before)
  • Removal of the all-in-one "Show Seats" toggle on the GM tab (this was an expensive and slow request, and we've moved it to be set on individual sessions instead)
  • Renaming the Player tab to "Summary" to better identify what lives on that tab

    Items we've identified as quality of life improvements that we want to resolve in another future release:

    * Moving various totals and other quick-reference information to the Summary tab (such as the fact that your session totals live on the GM/Event Coordinator tab)
    * Providing collapsable session info per character from the summary tab (though, sometimes this list of characters becomes fairly long, and it may warrant an entire tab devoted to characters and character registration; I'd definitely appreciate folks' thoughts on this)

    I don't normally provide insight into internal ideas we have lying around, but we have had some discussions re: flagging options in recent history (they're definitely not finalized). In these "new" flagging options, we'd be adding in "baiting" to the current abusive flag as "Abusive/baiting/harassment." It's our view that the behavior of encouraging another person to engage negatively/deliberately escalating conversations would fall into the same general bucket as abusive posting. Overall, we'd rather see the options cleaned up, rather than added to.
