If you add a Planet Stories subscription it will reduce it to 1 tag (Paizo Superscriber) and give you a purple border around your image (like Majuba has).

I'm still determining how I'm going to use the Pathfinder RPG wtih 3.5.

I have yet to run a game using Pathfinder, so I'll know a lot more when I do. If conversion cannot be done by me easily on the fly, then I'll go base 3.5 and use bits from Pathfinder.

Bottom line is that my 3.x collection is much, much bigger than my Pathfinder collection - and it would take about 20 years of Pathfiner products to change that - so I'm going to go with a solution that makes the best use of all of my stuff.

Well, skimming through it, the cavalier did nothing for me.

The oracle, however, was inspiring! I'm looking forward to hearing how it works in play.

The 32-pagers are a surprise. WotC abandoned that format almost a decade ago, so dipping back into suggests something. Not sure what yet.

Excellent - push that envelope!!!!

Sweet!

As long as the release date is not April 1 - this is SOOOO cool!

If I'm cranking out high-quality work like they are in a year, then you can build a shrine.

Is this a layoff - and if so, are there others?

I wonder if this is a layoff (and if there are more) - or if Scott is leaving on his own.

Are these part of the Gamemastery subscription?

Ah, not quite true... they've been showing it in some form for the past couple of years at GenCon. And it's pretty cool. I think it was supposed to be a TV pilot or something, but I guess they couldn't find anyone to give it a shot.

I wonder if Tsar and the others weren't "Pathfinderized" because B/W artwork had already been commissioned. Clark had mentioned previously wanting to go full color through Paizo.

Since there doesn't seem to be much movement from NG on anything else, I wonder if these are the last products we'll ever see from them.

I'm excited that this is now available. But I would definitely like to know if a PRPG version is planned. If a PRPG version is done, could those of us that purchased the 3.5 ver. get it for free or at a discount perhaps?

Thanks.

As for getting a discount should it actually happen, I would think not.

I'm waiting for Lulu. It's a bit too pricey for pdf, IMO.

I just wish you guys would send just one catalog per person, kinda gets annoying getting the same catalog over an over again, just added garbage after getting the first one.

But see, you're suppose to give them to your friends! ;-)

I'm done with edition changes.

If/when Paizo goes 2E, I go bye-bye.

Since we're making dramatic announcements:

If we don't have PF 2e by 2019, or the game isn't in serious development, I go bye-bye.

See? People threaten to take their money elsewhere in both cases. Just doesn't work as an argument.

Yeah, Crystal smiths a fine blog!

Looking forward to more!

Were the Wheel of Time books WotC? 3/3.5?

If you want me to add in the 3.0, I can do that too. :)

Perhaps in a separate thread with a similar name? If it's quick and easy for you.

BTW, having both orders is helpful, guys.

I like how it says "never before seen extras".

Um, the entire movie has never been seen before... :D

I may be off in my memory, but I think "when a star falls" was one of those rare adventures that had two(2) covers. I remember a purple cover, but then inside the cover was another cardstock cover with the usual 4 more panels. If my memory is right, that's probably why he didn't notice it missing when he bought it...

But again... I'm recalling back... like 20 years since I ran that module.

Actually, I think White Wolf still owns the rights the the products in general. From the press release I read, Fiery Dragon are only got the license to release 4E Swords & Sorcery products - any Pathfinderised S&S would still need to go through White Wolf.

As of right now Necro is in a holding pattern and has been for awhile.

...Not that I'm counting or anything....

Not to be a downer, but all this errata has me questioning whether to skip the first printing and wait for the second.
Has anyone found the errors to be overwhelming, or possibly game-breaking? A few slight errors can be expected and overlooked, but I am a little disappointed by the amount turning up.

If I do wait for the second printing, how long is it before the next run?

I'm loving my book now, so if you want to wait until November(ish), that would obviously be your call, but I haven't seen anything that's game-breaking. It's all little stuff.

It's been tried. ;)

I don't think it would hurt to keep it on his front burner, though. The last time I discussed it with Clark, he was very enthusiastic about it. So, while I wouldn't recommend pestering the Demon Prince of Undead, perhaps reminding him of the fans' enthusiasm from time to time could be a positive thing. If he and Erik ever get synced up on this, watch out!

But frankly, I feel like I (and others) have been asking and asking for it (and other things) for over two years now.

While I would really love to see this adventure, I need to see *some* movement by Necromancer to know that they are even remotely interested.

I'm going from *really, really* wanting Necromancer to do something to..."whatever."

If they start doing things for Pathfinder, I'll jump back on the train immediately. But I'm tired of asking.

Page 326

The Prying Eyes and Prying Eyes, Greater spells are out of alphabetical order with surrounding spells.

Reviews now available. My take? Run, don't walk, and download this five star product.

I don't think pestering Clark will work.

Thanks, Louis!

I thought 2E won

And it's coming back, you 3.5/4E bastards!

You're going down!!!!

I really appreciate Vic posting Gen Con updates to the Paizo blog - thanks, Vic!

Art directors who read these posts should demand a raise. :)

Based on the number of people still playing 3.5, and the fact that Pathfinder is compatible with 3.5, I don't expect demand to go down, except perhaps with rule books for which there is a Pathfinder alternative (PHB, DMG, MM).

Those that go 100% Pathfinder may unload some of their 3.5 core books, causing a price decrease, but otherwise, I expect prices for 3.5 stuff to increase.

As time goes by, 3.5 products will continue to become more scarce, and thus the price will increase.

The best time to buy 3.x stuff was Fall of 2007 and Spring of 2008.

Traditional way for increasing ability scores.

Thanks!

The policy/license (like the GSL) is much better if you read it while listening to "Yackety Sax".

I did get my downloads (except the core book, of course).

I'm ready for my hard copy now. :)

What part of FL you in DaveMage?

Gah! Correction: ignore my earlier correction. I was right the first time. We're showing "will ship by Tuesday, August 11" for everyone. I briefly thought we had added a feature that, well, we didn't.

The range of dates you're shown is what's quoted by the post office for the shipping method you've chosen, and it doesn't actually account for the zone you're in. When it comes to picking the date we ship, we do consider the zone; since Florida is in a very distant zone, I expect you'll be processed soon.

Thanks!

Oops. Sorry—my answer is normally true, but not this month. In this case, we're showing you the actual date that we're intending to ship, which is determined by the average shipping time to your address and a desired delivery as close to next Thursday as possible.

My e-mail says it will ship by Tuesday, the 11th with an average delivery time of 4 to 8 days. That would put it (at best) on the 15th and more likely on Monday the 17th. If it takes 4-8 days, shouldn't it ship on the 10th at the latest?

I was hoping (being in Florida) that it would be shipped by the end of this week....

Awesome stuff, Lilith!!!

That bad, Dave?

Bad mechanics. Bad editing. Extremely unbalanced treasure in some of their advenutres. Poor value.

IIRC, in one of their monster books, they had a CR 9 creature that could summon *multiple* BALORS!

I think they released around 40 products, and of those, there were *maybe* 5 that were usable as written. (IIRC, they also released four books that violated the OGL - by using WotC non-open content. They released a statement that they had destroyed their backstock of these items once their error was known.)

Now they did have some interesting ideas - such as Dungeon World, which was, as you might think, a world entirely underground. And they had one adventure for beginners ("Orcfest", IIRC) that received some good reviews, but using many of their books would likely have brought disaster upon a campaign (or at the very least, mechanics that just didn't work well with standard D&D). They did have some good writers that contributed to portions of some of the books, so there is some quality amongst the garbage, but overall, well...not so good.
