I've been retired for 13.5 years so things may have changed (hopefully for the better), but when I worked full time from home, 2001 - 2009, for a 3 letter computer company in a software support position, we had a "secondary" phone number that was associated with our home number that the company paid for, from the 3 letter tele-communications company. Went to a web site and was able to turn on and off the secondary "phone", without affecting our home number, etc. Pretty sure you could get it to round robin thru customer service phones now. Just offering up my experience with work from home. -- david
Sorry, can't help myself.... Myself and another gent, in the Industrial Engineering department of the Construction department for an International Company, coded a financial application in APL on the 5110, using 4 of the 8 inch diskettes in tandem to hold the data. This was back in the late 1970's... -- david
This may not apply to your situation so take what I say with a grain of salt. I very rarely pre-order something, and when I do it is from a place that I trust implicitly, as in almost all cases the money is spent immediately. For instance, my wife and I go to this music venue 9 or 10 times over the summer, but I actually just purchased the 4th of July (US Independence Day) tickets last week. When the rest of the season goes on sale in 3 weeks, I will purchase the July / August tickets. This is a 5 - 6 month "pre-order" and the money shows up on my credit card as soon as the pre-order is made. The difference with Paizo, is they do not charge till something is actually shipped (physical product) so the post by Vic comes into play, unlike many other places that take the money right away. I could see making a case for when only currently available PDFs are being purchased, and perhaps the current team will do something. -- david

I don't want something to get left outside in the rain, which I can avoid when I know which day is delivery day As my wife and I are out of town a lot over the summer, I created an account at USPS.COM and under "Informed Delivery" (I think), you can sign up for daily emails about mail/packages coming to you. You can also not use email, but daily check what is coming. -- david
Andostre wrote: Thanks, David. I’ll check my order history to see if it has any additional information compared to the shipping email they sent me. If nothing there helps, I’ll email. FYI, UPS-MI still doesn't know about it. My Paizo order history doesn't know about it. The UPS-MI order number "PZO0000xxxxxxx" is NOT the same as the US Post Office 16 digit number. There is no other number in the two emails from Paizo. -- david

Outstanding! and Thanks!
Have all the backer emails for the PDFs been sent out, or are more still coming? I got my "about to ship" for the physical product, but nothing about the PDFs. I am so looking forward to the adventure, so I can run Kingmaker one last time. thanks, -- david ps. not a complaint, just a simple question.

Pathfinder Kingmaker Regular Edition Slipcase Paizo Inc. 0.00 Shipping & Handling
Best regards,
I just received the note about the 2nd Edition Kingmaker books on the way to Paizo so it is time for me to setup for my Play by Post to be run on Paizo for this. I am an original Pathfinder 1E player, and while I have the 2E books, I have not played 2E at all. What I am looking for are hints on how to handle PbP for 2E. Especially how folks in PbP handle the "react" action, and transitioning between "exploration" and "encounter" modes. Thanks for any help.
Axolotl wrote: The really crummy thing is that APs on PbP can be a slog. I'm GM'ing Reign of Winter and we've slowed down a bit. It's a multi year commitment, and the initial excitement can die down. However, there *are* those dedicated GMs and players out there, so don't give up! Multi-year says it all. I ran a PbP on these boards that took 5 years 6+ months, and would have been just a little over 6 years, but I dropped 2 small areas that were easily bypassed. It was a box set that was a really big dungeon crawl (the players were warned when applying).
Ed Reppert wrote: What, exactly, does "comes together" mean? Not that I am an expert, but I believe he means a Dexterity 15, Strength +something fighter. As the PC gets 3 feats, take Two Weapon Fighting, Double Slice, depending on where you want to go, either Weapon Focus in your primary weapon, such as long sword, or Weapon Finesse and use short sword or rapier. Personally I would go Ranger and take the Weapon and Shield Combat style if that is what you would like, and pump up strength as well as taking double slice as soon as you can. YMMV....

Instead of an ancestry, a kingdom has a charter. Instead of a background, it has a type of government. And it has only one class: Kingdom. Beyond that it gets skills and feats and levels up with its own XP... Oh wow! I am so glad that I brought this up as this sounds even better than I could have thought.

Thank your for the answer!
Was anything done with the Kingdom Management sub-system? I DM'd the original AP with my home group, and have played the Owlcat CRPG. To tell the truth, I am hoping that that the Kingdom Management was "updated" to what is in the CRPG. If no, I will either do something myself, or hope that one of the 3rd party folks does it. thanks for any answers.
My main character is a Lawful Good Ranger. I found Radiance, and it was just a cold iron longsword (masterwork?). For giggles, I started a new game, with a Paladin. When I found Radiance, the dialog changed dramatically and it became a +1 cold iron longsword. If I continue with the Ranger, does Radiance ever become what it is in the Tabletop game, or does the main character have to be a Paladin? -- david
I am a long time player(1986) and DM(1991), and agree whole heartily with Azure. Run a PbP game under a rule system that you are extremely familiar with, Core rules only, and not Pathfinder Society. I had to give up on DM'ing two games because at 11th level or so, with everything Paizo 1E available, a combat situation was so complicated that it took hours as a DM to run a single round of combat, and it was near impossible to remember everything that players could do! Also Hollow's Last Hope, as he said, is a very good low level module with a decent mix of Role and Roll play for a new DM to work with.
Assuming you are looking for Play by Post, PbP Recruitment Yes, you can have multiple archetypes as long as they do not involve the same parts of the class.
