The second printing has not yet arrived in our warehouse; it'll probably be another week or two.
We have a small quantity of the 1st printing left that had been reserved for sale here at paizo.com; we'll continue fulfilling webstore orders with those copies until they're gone.
So next week... maybe?
The new printing is here and we started to ship them out to distributors today. We've removed the last couple copies of the 1st printing and will be doing something special with them later.

I think it means that Lisa has one duck in a row. I'd like to hear some additional quacks.
Quack twice for Sean K Reynolds.
EDIT: Is it a row if there is only one duck in it?
It just means that there are a few ducks to get organized before we can announce anything. The judges are lined up, but we are still working on some guest judges. Soon, my friends. Soon.

We're a ways from having anything show-offable.
But I can assure you that they do work just fine with Adventure Paths and other published adventures—we've been using them to great effect in our Rise of the Runelords campaign.
So Vic, I'm not the only GM that is woefully behind on great campaigns.
Actually, I am the GM for our campaign and Vic is playing a very sexy Varisian sorceress. :) But, yeah, we are behind in our APs and always will be. I have a group of six that get together once a week for about 3 to 4 hours at a time. It takes us about a year and a half or so to get through an AP. The good news is that we have lots of options for the next one! Which looks like it will be Legacy of Fire.

So I noticed today that Council of Thieves #3 is listed as shipping 'late November or early December', which is a little frustrating when we got the last one in September. It's probably just as (or far more) frustrating for you guys as it is for me, so I won't belabour the point.
My question is, I've ordered the Bestiary and set to ship it along with the adventure path to save on shipping. I'm concerned that it might be out of stock or something by the time its ready to ship and I'll miss out - how likely is that?
What is the cheapest shipping option I can get for the Bestiary to my listed delivery address if I go ahead and ship it seperately now (the Aussie dollar is pretty good against the US dollar today - who knows how low it might have slipped by early December)?
Mothman:
Council of Thieves #3 is arriving next week most likely and will start shipping then. I am guessing that what you are looking at is the street date, which tends to be two weeks or so later than when we start shipping subs.

It shows and has for awhile unavailable. Does this mean it is gone for good in print? just checking as it is one of the few issues I missed and was unable to pick up yet.
It means that we are more than likely out. There is always a chance that a stray issue or two could make their way into inventory as we clean our warehouse and offices and extra issues get put into inventory, but for the most part, it is gone for good.
[a moment of silence please]
The end of an era.

Did someone step on a duck?
I've been subtly trying to give you guys a scaup. But if I teal too much, I'll need to run for muscovey. But you will totally be gadwall when you find out why I am writing this stupid post! Friday. Friday.

OK! Time to order it from his site then! Thanks Lisa.
[Edit]Ack! Even on his own site it looks available but is not. Where oh where can I get a copy of this without paying $250 on Amazon?!
Yoda8myhead. A young man with a passion for Pathfinder. However, his procrastination with buying Order of the Stick: Dungeon Crawlin' Fools, has led him down the path to damnation, his soul whirling in the mire of second-hand collectible mark-ups. Will he cash out his 401k to buy the book he missed in all those paizo.com emails? Will he spend his time wandering online stores, futilely looking for this book? Or will he find his prize...in...the Twilight Zone?!?!

I'm not in the screaming crowd, but I am surprised to find myself still waiting, and curious for an update.

Sorry about that. I certainly never -meant- to disable anonymous comments. Everyone is welcome at my blog! Apparently, I hadn't checked my settings in so long, it went back to a "default." Please, give it another try and let me know if it lets you comment.
And I am SO doing Towny Tuesdays at some point...
Hey Owen:
Thanks for doing these blogs! I am compiling the info to use in my home campaign. You can never have too much info on Absalom!

How could you forget Snowpocalypse!?

If only there was some way to arrange that "the wrong place" was my house.
You say that now. But when pallets and pallets of the same book show up in your garage, I think you'll think twice about subverting deliveries to Paizo.
Yeah, I forgot Snowpocalypse last year! And how about the two weeks that our power was out in December the year before? Mother nature can be cruel sometimes.
As for diverting shipments to your house, realize that we will expect you to mail out all the subscription shipments yourself and will be forwarding all the complaints we get to you. :)

There isn't a single more important thing being done at Paizo right now than a) getting back on schedule and b) staying on schedule.
-Lisa
As far as I can tell from the threads here, almost all the "delays" (in quotes to acknowledge comments upthread that a change in shipping date does not always constitute a meaningful delay: Oct 5th or Oct 25th, it's still shipping in October as promised) have been due to things largely or entirely outside Paizo's control.
The list of things that can delay shipment is quite extensive. In the past we have suffered through:
Printer taking more time than normal to print something
Customs holding a shipment
The local delivery trucks delivering to the wrong place
Authors bailing on us at the last second
Authors delivering a manuscript that has to be substantially rewritten
Artwork not arriving by the due date
Artists bailing at the last second
Editors being sick
Editors quiting and us not being able to hire a replacement fast enough
GenCon (I know, we know about this in advance, but it still messes up the schedule)
Christmas (ditto. It is not like extra work days appear to replace the holiday ones)
Moving the office
Putting out the last issues of Dragon and Dungeon while simultaneously having to put out the AP and modules
I am sure I am missing some, but you get the idea. There are a lot of moving pieces and while we are trying to work towards a time when we are far enough ahead that simple things like a convention or holidays won't blow the schedule. But that isn't a place that you can get to quickly. Baby steps. Baby steps.

Hey y'all:
I am sorry that a few of you got caught in this mess. I will get to the bottom of why people weren't notified when I am back in the office on Monday. I will also get together with my team and come up with a solution to try to make it up to you. Unfortunately, since none of us are in the office, it will have to wait until Monday.
I do want to reiterate something that I said earlier in this thread. Because of the way our agreement with VISA and Mastercard is set up, it would have been illegal for us to ship people's products out in a different configuration than we emailed them it would. Like I said earlier, we were told by our printers that all of the products would be in our warehouse by the 12th of October. Then one printer switched dates on us after we had locked in the subscription shipments. At that time, we were literally stuck with having to wait unless we heard differently from our customers. I know it sucks to basically tell us to ship them as they come in and then get screwed because a) you subscribe to all of the products and b) something outside your control and Paizo's control causes this, and we are just as frustrated about it as you are, believe me.
As far as I know, we sent emails to everyone affected by this. I can't verify this until Monday, but I will. I can't verify delivery of the messages since SPAM filters and other blocking agents sometimes cause paizo.com emails to customers to get shunted away. But I will verify that we sent them.
Once more, my apologies for anybody in this boat who was affected by this.
