I just checked the WOTC website and for the first time they have this item on their site saying it is available June 15th. Amazon also says it is available June 15th but will not let you preorder for some reason.

I ordered this last time they said it was coming out and was very disappointed. I want a humanoid Gigantic figure. I would also like at least one gigantic giant to come out (don't care what kind) and buy about 3 to 5 of those for things like Rune Giants and such.

That is all...

I am really looking forward to this. I have decided that the Chronicles line is my favorite of the products done by Paizo.

+1

I would like to PDF to come in one page that can be taken to a print shop and printed as one map. I have a 3x4 foot map on my office wall of the current Campaign Setting PDF and I would love to be able to do that again with the new one.

Thanks...

Also, the Paths starting with Council of Thieves are written for the Pathfinder RPG rules. And I do not know when the modules started with the Pathfinder rules but if you look at the page for modules it has the 3.5 ones separated from the Pathfinder ones. Everything Paizo has done since the Core Rule Book came out has been done for Pathfinder rather than 3.5

And to reiterate what was said above. The conversion is not difficult from 3.5 to Pathfinder.

Sorry I am late to the party. I just saw this thread and thought I would weigh in.

For many of the new releases I have reread the whole series. Therefore, I have read the first half of the series at least four times and maybe five. I will likely wait for the next two books and reread the whole thing after they are released - although I read the latest one and it was one of my favorites.

I have loved this series when I started reading when there were only about 4 books out. I agree that it bogs down in the middle for a few books and although that part is a bit hard to take I still enjoy the series throughout. My understanding about that time is that the publisher was pushing him to finish a couple of the books and he tried to please the publisher during a time when has father passed and some other life events overtook him and the story suffered. After that he decided he would not let pressure rush him anymore (translated as successful enough to tell them to screw off).

There are a lot of characters I really enjoy from the books. I really like both Matt and Perrin. I loved Rand early on and do not like the transformation he took but I assume that Cadsuane's purpose is to bring him back to himself.

I like strong competent characters in books and therefore like Lan, and Egwene - I really enjoy watching her bloom and become confident and a force that cannot be ignored.

I wish it had not gotten slow for three books or so but it did and the story is still a good one but it does drag for a time.

I look forward to the next one in October. And I love that they have come out on Kindle in the past couple of months. I will never have to carry them around with me again.

I am not sure but I do not see the cascading effect.

Person runs past and provokes. That person is tripped and that trip provokes. That would be the end of it.

Yes, the Mushfens but way out to the west away from civilizaiton totally. Thar be Halflings in them thar swamps.

Dear Seeker. Are you going to convert the others? That would be awesome.

Thanks Ross.

Ross there is the message I get.

Important

You have signed up for two or more events that conflict with each other.

Your registration for these events will not be counted until the conflict is resolved.

Except it is in red and very intimidating... Your website is scaring me...

I put in my Paizo Con Event picks and the site came back and said I had conflicting events.

That seems strange to me being the instructions say list each event from 0 to 4 in importance to me. It will not accept my picks because of this conflict.

I am so confused.

Thank you.

I think from now on I should just swing by the Paizo warehouse and pick up my stuff in person. It is only about an hour drive and totally worth it to get things a day earlier.

Thanks Cos

You're the Bestest...

Hi all,

You tried to run my credit card for this order and it didn't go through.

I threw some money on the card and tried to tell the website to run it again but it just kept telling me it did not go through before and I had to give another option to bill it.

Please just run it on my regular card again.

Thanks

I left a game similar to that. I only played once and it was with a great freind of mine. There was an inn and it had a gateway. A player roled percentage dice as the group jumped through the gate. The DM had a box full of 100 3x5 cards and you dealt with what was in the room.

Might have been okay for a brief thing in the middle of something else but this was basically it.

The basic reason you are leaving is you have a lousy DM. There are probably only two real reasons to leave a group. One is a lousy DM and the other is difficult player interactions.

Another group I left had a DM who set up no win situations and the PCs rarely had anything they could handle but were almost always facing sitations and NPCs that would easily overwhelm them.

I have also left groups because of another player was just someone I could not game with and it was not really something the DM could address or would address. And it may not be that it was necessary to address it but it was something as a player I did not want to continue to deal with.

Oh Great One (Cosmo or god whatever you are going by today).

Please sign me up for a double scoop so I get two Gamemastery Card subscriptions instead of a paltry one. Thank you Master of all things that are good.

I think that a subscription is nice because keeping track of when they come out is too much for this little mind to juggle.

Cos, that's what I'm saying. That and I can't type...

And how about giving me two card subscriptions from now on....

Just checked out ebay for Burnt Offerings. $144.00 to $250.00.

It might be time for me to sell my extra copies... I even have one with the alternate cover. When Pathfinder started I thought one day it would be a big seller and have an extra full set and 6 copies of #1, 7 copies of #2, and two copies of #3.

Naybe I should pick up a few more copies of the last three while they are still around and sell at least three sets in another year or two.

That is a god question.

Okay, I am thinking you just take pre-4e FR and destroy that world. Damn thing is going to die anyway.

It is all good. I think I was just getting jealous.

Thank you Obi Wan... I await our next lesson.

Hey everyone,

I have not received anything for my March subscriptions yet even though many have received their PDFs. I checked my orders and it has not shown up there yet and I checked my subsciptions and it did not have anything in March just the April stuff.

Help me Cosmi Wan

People have their PDFs and I haven't even gotten my email. Where's the love...

So, as a hoarder of Rise of the Runelords AP this discussion caused me to go to Ebay and check out the prices (one day hoping these are worth more than I bought them for). Someone was trying to sell Burnt Offerings for $144.00 and someone else was trying to sell the map folio for $1000.00. The Map folio was also being sold for $12.95 and Burnt Offerings was not available at another price but Skinsaw Murders was going to $14.99. I remember before Skinsaw Murders was reprinted it was going for $50.00 on ebay. Maybe another six months to a year I can make a deal on copies.

I don't suppose you're a hoarder of the first few flipmats? (And also looking to make a deal on those..)

I'm looking for the out of print ones:

Flipmat: Forest Path
Flipmat: City Square
Flipmat: Tavern (Not the waterfront one, the original)
Flipmat: Dungeon (The old one, not the recent one)

Sorry no.

New Challenge.

How do I adjust the DC's for my spells. It is not automatically adjusting them and in the lastest sheet I cannot enter the box to adjust them manually as I could in past sheets. I know there is a trick here someplace.

Thanks

Yes, I did select an arcane school and the opposition schools.

Hmm, that's the only thing for wizards that I know of that can cause an N/A in the display. Can you try this for me--on a fresh copy of v.0.7.12, set the Race to Elf, Class to Wizard, and then set the schools. After doing just those three, the Class Abilities displays properly for me. Does this work for you?

Hi, I did as you asked and this time it worked. Don't know what the difference is but I am good now. Thanks.

James has said they have no plans to try and go around the IP by making similar monsters with different names. They plan to come up with their own monsters and leave it at that. They have no desire to infringe on IP in anyway.

Hi again. I think I found another glitch.

I was working up an Elven Wizard and the class features come up as NA.

Thanks

Have you selected an Arcane School? If not, that will cause the wizard's class ability summary to fail. I've added a bit of logic to display SELECT ARCANE SCHOOL to help folks out with this.

Sorry it has become obligatory.

AKITON AKITON AKITON!!!!The Red Planet

Yes, but I keep hoping for a Barsoom type of place rather than a random new planet...

Until Paizo began producing the Golarion material I was a FR fan. All my campaigns were there and I enjoyed the setting. I find Golarion to be superior to any setting I have used. I own almost all the TSR settings and although they all have something unique and fun - I am really enjoying this new world unfolding.

I have quieted down about this for the past couple of years but...

Give me the red planet, the sooner the better.

Paging John Carter, Mr John Carter, will you please pick up the red courtesy phone, paging John Carter....

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT...

No, it was called The Seven Swords of Sin. My understanding is that all our favorite sadists at Paizo made up a couple of rooms to run people through at Gencon in 2007 (I believe) and then put all those rooms into a module with a loose storyline about recovering a sword. It was a good side trek but brutal. Paizo's answer to the Tomb of Horrors IMO.

Death and Destruction for all...

I have not had any problems with the Core rules or the Bestiary. I have two copies of the Bestiary and about three Core Rules books around and I travel once a month with the Core Rules. No problems and I try not to abuse them. I am happy with the hardcover books. I hope the new campaign guide doesn't warp. I think that campaign guides cover is not as sturdy as the two core books.

Hi all,

I live in Lacey also. I run a once a month Saturday game (currently CotCT).

We also have a game in Vancouver - same once a month schedule running LOF.

I would love to get involved in some of the game days if the timing works out.

It's called a cleric.

I don't see a cleric as a knight. I think a Holy Knight is more like a Paladin but not necessarily for a LG Diety. I think Sparhawk from the Ruby Throne by Eddings. Certainly a Knight of the Order, but not Lawful Good - Maybe some kind of good but certainly not Lawful. Maybe Choatic Good, or Neutral Good.

Clerics are more the Holy Soldier types. Not the elite of the order.

Hi there again,

I am still loving your sheet. I downloaded the most recent one and I was working on making a Paladin. I am trying to change the alignment and it will not let me change it - so I get red in the class box.

Thanks again for all your work.

That is odd...my first thought was the cell got locked in some reformatting, but it doesn't show as locked on my copy. Are you selecting Alignment (cell H5) on the Character Options tab, or perhaps Alignment on the Front tab? If the latter, that's the problem--I switched that to a read-only cell that pulls from the Character Options tab. That's the only thing I can think of, so if you are indeed on the right tab I'll have to dig a little deeper...

Thanks!

That is the problem then. I did not realize there was a place on the Character Options page to select Alignment. I was using my knowledge of a previous sheet.

Thanks,

As a subscriber I received a PDF of D2 and all the other modules. It is not supplementary material but the PDF of the module itself. Funny I just did what you are talking about doing and stuck that module in the middle of Crimson Throne but give them some extra experience points. Be aware that it is a meat crinder in some ways and being it is a module built really for Gencon it is a bit tough. I had a 8th level party of 6 and only 4 made it out.

The Pathfinder Campaign book I have has covers that are bowing outward. I keep the books kept vertical almost all of the time, and do not leave them out open.

Now this problem I have had with two different Campaign books (bought the second one and gave the first to my son due to this problem - and now the second one is doing it).

From the beginning I have seen these books as collectors items and therefore I have glanced through some of them but when I really use them I print the PDF and put it in a note book or report binder and use it that way.

One day I think that pristine copies will be work something.

Bob

Just want to weigh in on the issue of reprinting monsters from the AP into a hardcover. I would love them all to be put into hardcovers. I like not having to find them among the APs. I end up printing them and putting them into a notebook so I would rather have the hardcover.

Thanks James.
