Goblin shirt? Valeros shirt? Anything survive?
Cheliax Jacob Burgess (Contributor),

Pfc 1106 Montlarion avatar

If I am reading your question correctly...

We made the Goblin Shirts and Paizo Shirts.

We did not make the Valeros Shirt.

E-mail sent. I'm sorry this fell off of my radar for a while (things get a bit nuts round here). Looks like a great mag that we would love to have here.

I would highly recommend Hajime No Ippo (Fighting Road in the States, it is about Boxing. I know it doesn't sound awesome, but it so very is) and Yakitate Japan (which is about baking. Again doesn't sound awesome, but very much is up until the third or forth story arc)

Terry Pratchett

I would have to weigh in with Going Postal being my all time favorite Pratchett.

I was out sick on friday and continue to be sick today (but at work) thus there was no one to wrangle the blog. There shall be a post tomorrow written by James Sutter. There will also be, in the future, some other types of blog posts as well as some cool stuff I'm working on coming down the pipe.

This Item is ten months late. Our supplier has no idea when it will be in. I'll will post here if the situation changes, but it would not hurt to check back and check the status often.

I stopped by my most Friendly FLGS The Bearded Dragon in Oneonta, NY, to order the Knights of the Old Republic Sourcebooks for Star Wars Saga edition, and had a chat with the store's owner and showed him my copy of the Beta. He immediately placed an order for 3 copies.

This guy really knows how to put the "F" in "FLGS" - he sponsors all kinds of games, has plenty for board game nights, always willing to chat about games and gamers, and very cognizant of what it takes to keep his customers happy and interested in his goods.

If I can get a more local job, I will be spending time running/promoting PFRPG in this store, because I know he will get behind me.


I went to College in Oneonta, both at SUNY Oneonta and Hartwick. Huh. Do you know Jim Tanner who used to work at the Dragon? I played in their LARPS and such during my school days.

This kinda blew my mind today.

Weekend Blog Special - Saturday Morning, Sept 20th, 2008
Cheliax Jacob Burgess (Contributor),

Pfc 1106 Montlarion avatar

In an amazing twist we will be having a monster huge blog up over the weekend about the Swordsman of Mars by our very own Erik Mona.

Now, understand I asked him to write this up almost in passing to see if I could get a blog to go into a certain slot. No big deal. Just a quick one talking about the differences in text (Disclaimer:The topic of this blog was Gary's idea) in Swordsman.

Apparently this was exactly the wrong thing to say and these words and idea of topic went into the mans ear and triggered certain synapses usually reserved for situations we have long since evolved past. A fire lit in his eyes as he began to tear up his own personal library to find said texts. A flurry of activity, a stint of what I can only imagine as fevered sleep, and much much pouring over texts later, he comes to me with a 3,000+ word *essay* about, well, you need to read it. He details many points I shall not go into here, but suffice it to say it is one helluva read.

The catch was, I didn't have anywhere on the blog schedule to put it any more. So I decided to break the norm with our blog schedule and put it up over the weekend.

Now, this is not something we will be doing regularly, but this blog post, nay, this essay, warranted something a bit extra-ordinary.

The man is passionate about what he does.

Well if it's possible, i would like to order it. not exactly sure how to do that, but is it possible to just add it directly to my cart? oh, and i spent a couple of hours goign through the entire store yesterday and a lot of the products that i thought i had seen weren't there anymore, so it's possible it was cleaned up and they were removed a while ago and i just hadn't noticed. I do apologize if this caused any undue worry. You guys are doing a great job.

I'm sorry. this fell under my radar.

Did you order it or should I check to see if it is still there?

You should be able to add it to your cart.

Paizo Store Blurb wrote:
More for Four!
Three new 4th Edition books are coming from Wizards of the Coast!
List Price: $39.95
Our Price: $35.96

... I'd assume that I'd be buying three new 4th-Edition books for $35.96.

The blurb goes on to detail all three books, and never mentioned another price.

Does anybody else think that a half-clued person might get confused?


So, when I write the store blog and there are multiple products that don't all conveniently fit in the same node, I link a product that it is contained within the blog that has a sweet or representative image attached to it.

Usually, when the blog only has a single product or links to a whole section of products (for example, the Mad Badger Pins I did some days ago) the price getting linked is either a non-issue in the case of a whole node of product, or fits when it is only a single product.

I can totally see how that might be confusing and I will take care about such things in the future if possible, but it might not be simply based on how the system works.

Favorite Beer?

Either Shiner Bach (sp?), Asahi Select (cause I'm fancy... and select), or Spaten Optimator cause it's purple... and deadly.

Now, if you are ever in Praug, and want some frikkin' transcendence bubbling in your mouth and flowing down your gullet in a veritable stream of joy and rapture the likes of which are not seen outside the gate of paradise itself to rest in your belly like a tiny tatsy Budda, I would try Krusovice (pronounced Crue - sha - vix). It's good.

Wow. That is some pretty interesting stuff you got there. I must admit that it's not in the market of what i'm looking for at the moment, but some of it (like the leechbook, currencies and wolrd map) are definately catching my eye a bit.

Congratulations on getting your foot in the door, so to speak.

One question: does the world map come with a "big" version in case I have access to a company plotter or something, or is it just the 15 small pieces I have to fit together?


Thanks! We also have several other products that should be up this week, like our Quick Play Adventure products, that might be more to your interest.

As for the LandEscapes, it does come with a 20x16 150dpi tiff file included.


Damn fine to have you aboard, Rick! And this is so the place to do this. Here you will find some of the best customers on the planet.

The fine folks at King of the Castle Games Company have started selling packs of 10 individual coins. Are there any plans afoot to sell these through Paizo? I have a not insubstantial sum of money I would like to spend on these, and Paizo's very nice shipping rates mean I'd get more product for the same net purchase.

Please consider adding these to your store. Thanks in advance. :)


I think one should keep an eye on the store blog. Oh yes indeed...

Any idea if or when these are coming back? I have no idea how old they are, but I'm always on the lookout for odd or unusual card decks and this fits the bill.

On a related note, how often do you guys go through the merchandise and remove out of print or permanently unavailable items? because there are some items, mostly in the board games section, that have been "unavailable" since I started posting here 3 years ago. I'm not complaining, but it's hard to see stuff I'd like and then find out I'm never gonna get it. but the pictures sit there and taunt me...

Thank you for your time.


I have this flagged and I will ask our distributer when we talk to them tomorrow. If you have a list of these possibly dead products, I would appreciate it if you could point 'em out to me and I can hound our distro guy about 'em! Thanks and I'll get back to you about this.

Thanks for the response. After reading the description again, is this really just a GM screen? It claims to be a "kit" and I wondered if there's more than just a screen included in the order. For $18, I sure hope so. At the very least, it better be a damn big screen with like 5 folds. :)

Screen (heavy damn cardboard, according to Jeff Strand, our Warehouse Manager and resident Warhammer 40k specialist) and an adventure is included (Though Mr. Strand hadn't played through it yet, so cannot vouch for its place on the Funnitude Index)

My father recently acquired a complete collection of these games for me as a birthday present.

Is the backorder status temporary or has it been that way for awhile?


Kata, I checked with the distributer and they are currently out of stock at the warehouse and the manufacturer as well. They are not out of print but when they distributer will get more is anyones guess.

Indeed. I had the book for a few hours glancing through it as I write the store blog and had to, page by page, count all of the things in the book and after a while (as the list grew very long) I was like, *flip flip flip* 11 of this, *type type type* *flip flip flip* 13 of these *type type type*... (all right, I'm going to be here all day) Its got all this other stuff too! *type type type*

Took me about 2 hours to count and get those few paragraphs typed up. This book is packed to the brim with so much good stuff!
