There's been a problem on the Product Schedule for a week now, where some items are listed twice. My guess is that separate entries are listed for the print and PDF versions of the same product.


Anyone knows how this is supposed to be used? I just can't find a way to secure the blade safely in the knife. No matter how many times I turn the handle, the blade just keeps falling when in use.

Am I doing something wrong, or is it really designed to just barely hold the blade in place?


I can't believe the auctions are set to ship to the United States only.

You're usually great at taking care of your international fan base, so I hope this is just an error. If it's not, well… it's sad.


I'm new to all this miniature painting stuff, but I noticed that what really makes a miniature stand out is not only a good paint job, but also having a pretty base.

It looks like I could either do some flocking on the default plastic base of my miniatures, or buy some metal or resin bases, sculpted to resemble timber, slate, lava, or whatever. Some of these sculpted bases look really cool, actually, and I'd like to go that way (I understand I'll have to paint the bases, and do some cutting and gluing).

I've found two suppliers for the moment: Dark Art Miniatures in the UK and Back 2 Base-ix in Australia. Both of them seem to have cool products.

The question really is "Do you know of other guys selling miniature bases?".


This brush must be made of (heavy) iron weasel hair.

I can get the Hook Mountain Ogre #1 and the Red Dragon Pathfinder minis shipped to me in France for $6.54 (which is, admittedly, very low) but I have to pay $8.22 for this brush?

(I see the same shipping rate for a few other Reaper Kolinsky brushes.)


I'm not sure how to bring this to your attention other than by posting a thread on this section of the forum, though I feel it is really minor.

• There is a section called Miniatures for Roleplaying. I think Otherworld's Miniatures's products should appear there.
• The Featured Brands for Green Ronin Publishing are way out of date. I'd say current featured brands should rather include A Song of Ice and Fire, DC Adventures, Dragon Age, or Mutants & Masterminds.

I'll add to this post when I stumble upon other categories that need updating.


I have 99 downloads currently available in My Downloads and this is going to grow fast now that I've subscribed to a few more of your lines.
I don't care for all of these 99 downloads and there are files that I would actually just like to remove from my list. Such files as the "One File per Chapter" versions of my Paizo subscriptions, or some free or preview PDFs from other companies that I happened to download and am not interested in anymore.

Now I understand that you wouldn't be comfortable adding an option to really delete a file from the My Downloads section. But it would really be nice to have a way to flag some files and move them to a "Trash" (or "Archive", actually) folder that would keep the default view focused on the files that really matter.


Vic Wertz, somewhere in the Advanced Player's Guide Playtest thread, wrote:

It looks like the fix we employed to improve compatibility with older versions of OS X seems to have caused problems with some versions of Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. I've reverted that change for now. Folks who were having problems, go ahead and repersonalize and redownload.

We'll keep working to see if we can get a version that works for everyone (except you poor Snow Leopard/Preview folks... the Capital A problem will remain for you for a while longer...)

It was my understanding that the problem with capital "A"s was limited to Snow Leopard's Preview.

Whether using Leopard's Preview (version 4.2 (469.5)) or Adobe Reader (version 8.2.0), I miss a capital "A" on the Artume entry of the Table of Contents in my PDF version of the Guide to the River Kingdoms. That's while Artume on page 10 is exhibiting all sorts of "A"s without any problem. (Same issue whether I open the single-file or the one-file-per-chapter version.)

So my Table of Contents looks like :

Quote:

The River Kingdoms 2

Gyronna and Hanspur 9
rtume 10
Cordelon 11

I didn't see this particular problem mentioned anywhere, so I'm wondering if I'm the only one having it, or if I'm the only one reading the Table of Contents…

(By the way, I can live without this capital A, it's more of a "Hey! There might still be a problem." than anything else.)

Edit: And I just installed Adobe Reader 9.3.0 and it doesn't work better with that version.


Do we know who is going to draw the maps for this Adventure Path?
I've been liking more and more of the work Jared Blando did for the end of Legacy of Fire and for Council of Thieves. Seeing the backlash against his Westcrown map and some criticism regarding his maps of buildings, I'm starting to wonder.
I hope he's been kept in the line-up for Kingmaker!


The Product Schedule is a very useful tool that I check regularly. It would be even better if Paizo's backordered items were added to the list. I am currently waiting for the GM Screen and I can't find any ETA on the site but Lisa Stevens's post, dated Jan 13 and now looking out of date.

By the way, when the screen will be back in stock, will I be able to start a PFRPG subscription with the screen? As noted in this post, I am currently only offered to start with the GameMastery Guide.


I have a bunch of books (10 books actually) in my Shopping Cart for a total value of $180.90. I can have these books delivered as 2 packages via Standard Postal Delivery for $32.22, or via a single USPS Priority Mail shipment for $44.03.

The Order Summary writes that I qualify for the :

First Ten Shipping Promotion
Paizo will pay the first $10 in shipping and handling for all orders of $100 or more of non-preorder products.

However, this is what I see for the order total:

Subtotal (10 Items) $180.90
Shipping & Handling $36.26
Shipping & Handling Discount - $4.04
Order Total $213.12

Isn't the promotion missing in the total?

I've (re)subscribed today to the Pathfinder Adventure Path line, thanks to the low euro/dollar change rate, the fact that I am now more than 50 kilometers from my "local" gaming store, and that we can now add some items to the month's subscription shipment.

Now, I have a few questions :
• Will the Pathfinder advantage apply to items that I order between now and the day the next Pathfinder issue is sent to me if I choose the "Combine with the earliest possible subscription shipment" shipping method? (Effectively making the items ship at the same time as my first Pathfinder issue.)

• With the following items in my shopping cart:

* Pathfinder Chronicles: Into the Darklands (OGL) Print Edition
Paizo Publishing, LLC 1 @ $17.99
* Pathfinder Chronicles: Dungeon Denizens Revisited (OGL) Print Edition
Paizo Publishing, LLC 1 @ $19.99
* Pathfinder Chronicles: Seekers of Secrets—A Guide to the Pathfinder Society (PFRPG) Print Edition
Paizo Publishing, LLC 1 @ $19.99
* Pathfinder Chronicles: Book of the Damned—Volume 1: Princes of Darkness (PFRPG) Print Edition
Paizo Publishing, LLC 1 @ $19.99
* Pathfinder Companion: Osirion, Land of Pharaohs (OGL) Print Edition
Paizo Publishing, LLC 1 @ $9.99
* Pathfinder Companion: Qadira, Gateway to the East (PFRPG) Print Edition
Paizo Publishing, LLC 1 @ $10.99
* Pathfinder Companion: Cheliax, Empire of Devils (PFRPG) Print Edition
Paizo Publishing, LLC 1 @ $10.99

I am offered a Standard Postal Delivery rate of $17.83.

On the right, the order summary is formatted like this :

Order Summary
Subtotal (7 Items) $109.93
Shipping & Handling $20.99
Order Total $127.76

Promotions Applied to Order
Paizo Discounted Postal Delivery
Discounted shipping for international shipments over $25 from one to four pounds.
First Ten Shipping Promotion
Paizo will pay the first $10 in shipping and handling for all orders of $100 or more of non-preorder products.

So…

I understand that the "Paizo Discounted Postal Delivery" option accounts for the difference between $17.83 and $20.99 for shipping & handling, and in fact $109.93 + $17.83 really does add up to $127.76. So I think that listing is rather confusing, and that $17.83 should appear on the shipping & handling line of the order summary.

But where's the First Ten Shipping Promotion? It looks like it has not been applied.

By the way, will the First Ten Shipping Promotion apply if I choose the "Combine with the earliest possible subscription shipment"?

Thanks!


This is available as a PDF download on some other sites. Is there any chance it will appear on Paizo too?


I'm trying to subscribe to the atom feeds available at the top of the Pathfinder Chronicles page. When clicking the feed links with Safari, I currently see that the "new" feed contains only one item (the Guide to Absalom), while the "upcoming" feed is empty.

I understand the logic behind the "new" feed, since the Guide to Absalom is really the only new book in the listing, though I would have expected every book of the line in the feed, ordered by date of publication, newest at the top.
I'm not sure why the "upcoming" feed is empty. For sure, there are a lot of upcoming books in the Pathfinder Chronicles line. I would have expected to see every book published after the Guide to Absalom in this feed. And books automatically moving from the "upcoming" to the "new" feed upon publication.

Same observation for the feeds of the Pathfinder Adventure Path line: things are consistent.

Is it a bug or a feature?


I've finally made up my mind and I would like you to cancel my subscriptions to the Pathfinder Chronicles and Pathfinder Companion lines. Please keep the Pathfinder Adventure Path subscription as is.
From now on, I'll just cherry-pick the items I'm really interested in.

Thanks!


Well, not really. Still…

(Disclaimer: I'm really sorry to be such a pain regarding shipping rates. Really. But they usually amount to a third of the price of an order, and it's sometimes difficult for me to justify the price of my addiction.)

Looking at my subscriptions and at the Product Schedule, I'm starting to expect one big fat shipment leaving Paizo HQ early August. The box should contain :
• Pathfinder 12
• Pathfinder 13
• The first Pathfinder Companion
• The Curse of the Crimson Throne Map Folio
• The Pathfinder Campaign Setting

I've run a simulation adding two Pathfinder issues, two Rise of the Runelords Map Folios (I assume the PF Companion will weigh roughly as much as a Map Folio) and the Campaign Setting book to my cart, and selecting "Ship everything when it is available".
Looks like shipping to France is going to be $40.88, USPS Priority Mail, and no other option.

I know Vic wrote a few days ago that international shipping may be decreasing soon. I know that Paizo doesn't subsidize USPS Priority Mail. I know the rates are probably still better than going downtown to the games store that charges €20,00 ($31.40) for a Pathfinder issue.

Actually, that long post is just me looking for an answer to "Will I be paying $40 to ship the box next month, or is someone at Paizo working some transmutation magic that would allow for a lower shipping rate?". I need to prepare.

Thanks!


I really have trouble understanding how shipping is calculated when you're sending my subscriptions.
It's sad: after May's shipping rate increases, I first decided to cancel my subscriptions, but finally thought better and re-subscribed after reading all the trouble you were getting through to send our Pathfinder issues over the oceans. (And after deciding I didn't want to wait two months for a Pathfinder issue to be available through Amazon.)

On Jun, 13, you sent Pathfinder #10 and that cost me $21.38 ($7.39 shipping).
Today, order #979184 was created. That's for Pathfinder #11, and it's going to cost me $22.42 ($8.43 shipping).

Is the shipping rate going to keep moving over the next months? Is this an error?


I subscribed to the Pathfinder Adventure Path line with #4, and as I am soon going to start playing Rise of the Runelords, I am considering buying the PDFs for #1, #2 and #3 to ease things on my side of the screen.

I thought the Pathfinder Advantage would apply to Pathfinder PDFs (as the Advantage description on the Pathfinder subscription page reads "Beginning March 10, 2008, Pathfinder Adventure Path subscribers receive the Pathfinder Advantage: 15% off of suggested retail price of all products on paizo.com (with the exception of non-Paizo PDFs).") but even on the last page of the checkout process (the next button is "Place your order") I still don't get the discount.

Am I missing something here?


Hi there!

My Pathfinder + Pathfinder Chronicles order (#896750) is currently "Shipping" and I have the Guide to Korvosa (plus its map), Pathfinder #7, and the Map Folio available as PDF files in the "My Downloads" section. The Harrow Deck, though part of the order, is not available for download.

Is this expected?
