Not an official response, but if you used the same address for both, I believe they automatically apply the Kickstarter benefits to your Paizo account, no claim code needed. Try checking your account page to see if it's listed under "My Pledge Drives" already.

Not an official answer, but the last I saw posted here by Paizo staff on the subject, Paizo had heard nothing from WotC about getting the old D&D PDFs back on their site. So, at least for now, if you bought through Paizo, you're out of luck.

If you purchased through RPGNow/DrivethruRPG, then you'll get access to the new versions of files you previously purchased as they're rereleased, at about 4 items per week.

No, it isn't fair, but the only one who can rectify the issue is WotC.

How about the fact that there are three different ways to pronounce that ending: 'uff' (ex: tough), long 'o' (ex: though), and 'ow' (ex: bough). In none is the 'g' sounded.

English is a pain in the butt, even if one has grown up with it.

More like seven ways if you don't restrict it to the end of words. :-)

Tough
Cough

My notification for shipping next week includes my comics subscription, so I'd assume the answer is yes. :-)

The box isn't a bad idea for storage, but I think something more like a card filing system might work better for convenient access and actual tile use if more than one tile set is being played with.

No ideas here, but if you specify which module you're having problems with the download for, it'll be easier for tech support to figure out where the issue is.

The first thing I'd try in your place is to download it again in case I had a corrupt download the first time. Then if it continued I'd try checking an alternate PDF viewer to see if that works.

They're the descendants of Baba Yaga, according to Cities of Golarion. The family of the current queen are top of the heap, while the families of previous queens are lower status.

I haven't read Shackled Hut in enough detail to know if it's mentioned there yet. Still waiting for the physical book.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

Er, the cut out counters are there in the B10 I downloaded. And in pretty decent quality.

Heh. I'd flipped through the book and stopped at the back cover. Which was the second to last page of the PDF... And I took the product page's word that they weren't included. Joke's on me I guess. Thanks for the tip.

My point still holds about the Historic series poster maps though. :-(

Linkified. And pledged.

Epidemic Books Oathbound: Eclipse handled the issue with an optional additional experience cost when a lycanthrope character levels up. They can pay more experience and gain more lycanthropic abilities at the same time as they leveled in a class, or they can just level up normally without any gains to lycanthropic abilities.
That still leaves issues in power balancing against non-lycanthrope characters when using a plot event/GM Fiat style of advancement rather than experience accounting though.

It appears I was mistaken about the direct Benandanti/werewolf connection. The source I was reading had conflated the Benandante with a case involving beliefs that it has been suggested were related in origin to those of the Benandanti, but were separate, at least at the time of the events.
Wikipedia on the Benandanti
Wikipedia on the Livonian werewolf, which was the story I was referring to.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

benandanti ??? Where is that from ?

Northern Italy.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

Taking the werewolf as an example, the mythology ranges from the horror movie inspiring Beast of Gévaudan at the monstrous end, clear through to the Benandanti, werewolf protectors appointed by God (yes, that is referring to the Christian God) as defenders of their villages and who regularly assault the gates of Hell itself using iron flails.

There's quite a range in the mythology, and that's just two actual legends for werewolves in medieval Europe.

The actual texts seem to be higher quality for the releases of older editions, but things like poster maps out of the 2nd ed historic worldbooks or the cut out counters from module B10 are a lot more hit and miss. Then again, they were missing from the original PDF too in the case of B10. Bookmarking ranges from very good to chapter headings only, which still beats the no bookmarks whatsoever in the original versions.

IMO the new versions are worth downloading again if you bought them back in the old days, but you might want to hang onto the old versions too, in case of missing poster maps & similar in the new versions.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

It looks like it's just the $50 one restricted to the US now. It must have been missed when the others got fixed for international backers.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

Try it now, Paul.

It's working now. Signed up with many thanks.

*looks for earplugs to muffle the screaming noises coming from his wallet*

Yes, I'm definitely interested. ;-)

There seems to be an 'f' missing in some of the pledge level descriptions - I think 'Spellweaver pdf or Pathfinder' is intended to be 'Spellweaver pdf for Pathfinder'.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

I can note that the 1st Edition Deities & Demigods that they're selling now is not the one with Cthulhu and Elric material.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

I've redownloaded some of the older material I purchased back in the old days. The overall image quality is better, and the bookmarking is decent, but some of the 2E Historic books are missing the poster maps which were in the original PDFs. I haven't looked too hard at any of the others yet.

More or less anyway.
The original maps for Charlemagne's Paladins were missing the far right side of the map in the original PDF. The new one has no map at all.

The original Crusades had a map composed of pieces with sections of overlap and places where portions were missing from the map, while the new version has the complete map as a single page.

A Mighty Fortress was missing the poster map in the original but has it in the new version as a single page.

Vikings had the map in the original but is missing it in the new PDF.

Age of Heroes had the map in the original but only has two small pieces of it, with reduced size and scanned on top of other pages from the book, visible behind the map.

I can't speak for the Celts one because I never found it for sale before they stopped selling PDFs, and haven't bought the new version yet.

So, as text and the body of the books I've looked at go, it's a definite improvement in quality and the bookmarking is a bonus. But it's a mixed bag for things like the pullout poster maps which may have been lost from the books they're now scanning. I'm not deleting any old versions of the files I download just yet.

There are still stories that the moa is surviving. Personally I think the Fiordland moose are a lot more likely. More's the pity.

It's not a chart so much as a thread of contributed ideas.

1000 Resurrection Effects

I don't think DarkOne is the only person who has pledged $100-$200 strictly for the tabletop items. At least I know if it turns out that the game is not for me at least I got my money's worth out of it.

I feel the same way. I honestly don't expect the game to be a style I enjoy, but I figure US$200 plus shipping is worth pledging for the non-MMO stuff that comes with it.

And who knows, I might just turn out to be wrong about the online game too. If I am, then that's going to be pure gravy from where I'm standing.

Thanks Louis. I got your email at the same time as I was reading this thread. :-)

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

Hi James,

Please email me at bgmcubed@gmail.com with your full name and the email address you think you used for your pre-order. If you can find your paypal receipt, that'd be a slam dunk. Let's see what we can find from there. Don't worry -- we'll track it down.
Lou

Would a PM on these forums be acceptable? I've emailed my Razor Coast pre-order details to that address twice with no response or change to my pre-order status when I punch in my address on the check page, so I'm assuming my emails are getting filtered somewhere before they reach you.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

I was right about the competence of the delivery driver. There was a thump on the porch tonight...

When I picked the package up, it was addressed to the next door neighbours. So I walked it on over, and lo and behold, sitting on their doorstep was a huge, and wet, box addressed to me. *rolls eyes*

So I delivered their mail, got my own, and am impressed by the packing. The delivery box was beginning to split from water damage, and has a hole punched right into it, but the inner protective box was perfectly fine.

As for the actual deluxe edition, all I can say is that the unpacking video doesn't do it justice. It's impressive, and in absolutely perfect shape, despite the state of the box it came in.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

The email I got suggested 6 to 10 days to NZ. Knowing my luck, probably it'll sit in a courier's van over the weekend on top of that estimate. Hopefully they then don't use their patented box-breaking "walk halfway up the steps then throw the delivery the rest of the way" delivery technique.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

I originally ordered before they even got the announcement emails sent out, and got the $170 with discount.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

Are you sure you're still missing something? I have a couple still listed as "electronic notification" or some such - everything has arrived though. They were phantom packages.

Oddly, you seem to be right. We've been renovating, so I haven't really had the time to examine the box as closely as I'd have liked. Everything from my pledge seems to have been there, though I don't seem to have gotten any of the extra froggie thingies hidden in the packing that other people have mentioned.

Still, I'm a little curious as to why there would be 'extra phantom' package links in the shipping emails, especially since people with big pledges had to pay extra for shipping multiple packages, myself included. Being a trifle suspicious, I'm almost wondering if someone in the post office wasn't condensing the packages down to cut the shipping costs so they or the postal service could pocket the difference.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

Great. Did you mail it to or cc: bgmcubed@gmail.com?

I emailed it to that address. If it didn't make it, give the word and I'll resend it.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

Glad I hadn't lost the emails, since I'm not in the records it seems. Email sent, along with the Paypal receipt.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

One of mine still hasn't done more than acknowledge the receipt of the shipping data, and doesn't seem to have moved at all. The other one's been here for a week.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

A Charter subscriber is someone who signed up to the AP line right at the beginning, before the AP issues that compensated for the end of the Dungeon and Dragon magazine subscriptions finished if I recall the cutoff point accurately. Cancelling the subscription then restarting it loses the Charter status.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

No email for me either. I guess there's an issue somewhere.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

My first box arrived. Good move using the shirts as extra padding. The box looks a little battered by transit, but the contents are fine. And well worth the price and wait.

Unfortunately the second box still hasn't had a status change from 'electonic information received'. *wonders how to kick the US postal service from across the Pacific*

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

I got tracking links for my two boxes to NZ. One's apparently been sitting in San Francisco since the 17th, and the other just says "Electronic Shipping Info Recieved" with no other status changes since the 13th. I'm beginning to get a little annoyed with the shippers.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

I just made this order, 2274363 for the Elminster's Forgotten Realms Hardcover. Unfortunately I messed up, and instead of setting it to ship with my subscription shipment, I combined it with the pending RotRL Deluxe Edition, order 2225515.

Can someone please fix my stuffup and reassign the Forgotten Realms hardcover to go with my subscriptions? I'm not bothered if that means with the November shipment, given how close the October subscriptions are.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

That's good news for me. I'd misread some of the details about the Art Book until it was too late for me to adjust my pledge. I was figuring on missing out on the dice to make up for it.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

I'm already at my budget limit. The 1k reward isn't much use for a non-US citizen anyway.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

I'll wait and see if they bother to release a PDF version. If so, I'll be happy to buy it. Otherwise I already have the original books.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

I'm still hoping for the bestiary.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

Many thanks. I'm looking forward to this one.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

Can I please have my pre-order for the Rise of the Runelords Deluxe Collectors Edition (Order 2116265) separated from my subscription shipment, so it ships as its own order rather than combined?

I discovered the hard way where NZ Customs sets their limit for import taxes, and I'd end up paying a lot more on tax than I'd save by combining the order with my subscriptions.

Paizo Charter Superscriber, Pathfinder Comics Deluxe Subscriber

Factors to consider are the free PDF when the product ships from Paizo, and Amazon's history of notoriously unreliable shipping times for Paizo products.
