I have spent the last 10 minutes attempting to fix my payment method but thanks to the craptastic UI, I have only succeeded in adding a new payment method but cannot for the life of me figure out how to change the payment method for a previously declined order.

Additionally, if you are going to be picky about payment methods (AKA no AMEX) then there should be a list of approved methods.

Very frustrated.

I did! Thanks.

Hi, I noticed my order was just upon the precipice of getting the shipping credit and so I added a map pack that will help with my current campaign.

As of right now the order is not showing the shipping discount/credit/thing. Will this be applied automatically once the order is finalized or is there some sort of hiccup?

Thanks!

Dan

Can you confirm that this order is shipping by the cheapest method? I added an additional item and the total jumped almost $20 when the item was only about $13.

Also I'm not seeing the first ten credit on the order. It's mentioned at the top but it doesn't seem to be in the actual math. I have trouble believing that $29 is the cheapest possible shipping cost.

Hi,

Just as the title says, I'd like to cancel my Pathfinder Modules subscription. I would like to continue to receive all of my other subscriptions so don't cancel anything else

Thanks!

Thanks for clearing that up. I wasn't upset or anything, merely confused. I have never had an issue with Paizo customer service. I just wanted to throw up a red flag in case this is some sort of larger issue. Which it seems to be.

Thanks!

So I don't understand anything about the math involved in this order.

The normal product prices seem to add up fine and I seem to be getting the correct product, other than that I am greatly confused.

- Why is my order once again being split into two shipments with the increased shipping cost that entails?
- How does $89.71+$12.93 = 118.76?
- Why am I getting the $10 off shipping credit when I'm not getting that much stuff?
- Why is my preauthorization $39.77?

After last month's debacle, I am very suspicious of the seeming irregularities of this order.

Thank you for your prompt response and remedy.

Box #1 of this order arrived in fine condition. No problems.

Box #2 Had 2 Major Issues

- I did not receive the Monster Codex. Instead I received the Wrath of the Righteous Adventure Deck - the Midnight Isles.
- Also it cost nearly $18 to ship a 5lb item? That is frankly inexcusable. It should have been combined into a single shipment and there is no way it costs that much. And if it is going to be Paizo's company line that it does cost that much to ship then I will be ending my Pawns subscription immediately, because the shipping costs remove any and all incentive. Buying from a local store at full price and purchasing the PDF would cost less.

Very annoyed at this turn of events.

Did you use their bug reporting system or just post to the forum?

Also since they just released an update Friday, I wouldn't expect anything until the 12th or later.

My .pdf copy of Bestiary 4 also lists blood drain as an ability for Giant Weasel Animal Companions.

Just checked. My Hero Lab also lacks that ability for the Giant Weasel.

Guessing it's just an oversight.

Just let your DM know and you'll be fine.

Everything looks great. Thanks!

As you probably intuited when my monthly shipment nears the shipping discount price, I normally like to throw in a Pathfinder Battles Booster or two to take it over the threshold.

So what you have done basically accomplishes that.

Also, I'm never going to complain about being first in line for my monthly shipment.

Yes, you have it correct. I apparently was always using the "Take A Snapshot" function but didn't remember it, since I haven't captured from interactive pdfs in a long time.

Weird. It used to work. I'm getting the same behavior on my machine.

You will likely need to use some sort of screenshot utility. I'm not a windows guy so I'm afraid I don't know of one to recommend.

What I do on my Mac is:
1. Set the interactive PDF to show what I want
2. Zoom in to my desired resolution.
2. Use the "Command-Shift-4" key combo to engage the selective screen shot mode. Then I can select a portion of the screen to capture. And with large images, it even allows for scrolling so that I can capture an image much larger than my display.

I don't know if that helps but it's my best attempt.

This is the second time in 3 (maybe 4) months that I have tried to add something to a pending order and not had that be an option on the shipping screen. I am able to "sidecart" it or ship it individually, but there is no third option.

I really think there is something wrong with my account because when I go to check out it immediately goes to "Step 4" and it shows the Sihedron Medallion that I bought months ago.

Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks!

The order lists the Pathfinder Advantage but the only item discounted is the AP volume itself. None of the other items are discounted.

Excellent. Any luck with figuring out why the Pathfinder Advantage wasn't applied?

Want to add the new Pathfinder Battles Iconics set to my current pending subscription order (3421423).

When I go to checkout, it almost always goes directly to the "confirm order" page. I try to go to the shipping page to specify that I want it added to a pending order, the page is essentially blank. The payment page says that it will be added to Order 3362849, which I already received a little over a month ago.

Apparently, my account is locked into adding things to a previous order. Please advise how we can fix this. I thought it might be a cookies issue so I tried using a different browser, same behavior throughout.

Nothing in my order had the advantage applied either. If this is a change I'll be rethinking my subscription.

Excellent! Thank you!

I'm trying to order the Sihedron Medal for my Shattered Star DM as a Christmas present.

When I get to checkout, it won't let me add it to the current pending subscription order. I just got notified about the order authorization yesterday. That seems like a very short pending period.

Never mind, just figured out how to do it correctly.

I'm all good.

I tried that but it added it to next month's order even though my current one is still pending.

Is there any way to fix that?

I have a subscription order that is on the edge of getting a shipping credit. I'm trying to add a pathfinder battles booster to the order, I just can't find where to do that.

Any assistance you all can provide would be appreciated.

Please cancel the following subscriptions for me:
- Pathfinder Tales (I love them but I'm transitioning all of my reading to eBook and don't have room for the dead tree versions anymore)
- Pathfinder Comics (I'm just going to get the collected editions when they are released)
- Gamemastery Maps (Don't run F2F games much anymore so the .pdfs will suffice)

Thanks!

Because democrat states are "red"; everyone knows those people are red-iculous!

Actually, the Blue states are the ones that are primarily Democrat, not that it seems to make much of a difference any more.

I didn't see that option when I made the order so thanks for the credit. I'll be more vigilant if I attempt another such maneuver in the future.

I remain a satisfied and loyal customer.

When I received the pending notice about 2306103 and immediately saw that it was within $10 of $100, I immediately order some Pawn bases and added them to my sidecart. I expected that the new order 2306133 would be shipped with the monthly order and that I would essentially get the bases for free once the $10 shipping credit was applied.

This doesn't seem to be the case. Should I have done something differently or is it possible to still merge these orders?

As I said I am just disappointed and confused at the moment.

Thanks for any info or assistance you can provide.

There have normally been a few trucks near the con. Last year I had some really awesome tacos from a food truck.

Glad to see that they are becoming a bigger presence.

So I am working on my session prep for the last portion of Fortress of the Stone Giants and as part of that I am inputing all of the NPCs into Hero Lab.

While doing this I discovered that Mokmurian seems vastly over-spent on skills.

To equal the ranks as they are listed in the Anniversary Edition i have spent 164 points. Unfortunately, based on my figuring he should only have a maximum of 126 (assuming that all 11 levels of his favored class bonus are allocated to skills)

Should I assume that this means that the Robe of Runes grants additional skills just as a headband of vast intellect? The text doesn't specify this but I could see it being logical.

I have to admit that the lack of a shipment e-mail after 7 business days is extremely disheartening.

Just wondering what the hold up is on my order?

Other Superscribers have gotten their shipment notices (and hence pdfs) days ago and I am still looking at a pending status.

An info would be appreciated.

As a GM who plays almost exclusively via Virtual Table Top, I'd be all over these if there was a .pdf version so that I could give each weapon in my campaign a unique picture.

Both of you should bail on this group. From your description, your GM sounds like a power mad adolescent who is not interested in your enjoyment of the game.

I have my first PFS sessions in 2 days where I will be running First Steps 1 & 2.

When I first scheduled the sessions, I was under the misapprehension that the scenarios were designed for 6 players. Since then I discovered that this is not the case. It was too late to limit the first session though since it was already full.

So here is my question: Is it OK to alter the opposition in a PFS scenario (more mooks, add class levels/ HD) or should we run them as is and risk it being a cake walk?

Cool. Thanks!

I might try my hand at drawing the others in Dungeon Designer but I didn't want to do more work than necessary.

Howdy folks,

I am going to be running the first PFS Scenarios at my local store in a couple weeks and I am trying to do it up right.

I know that there are occasionally map packs or flip mats used for the PFS scenarios and they aren't always called out in the text. Hence my question:

Are there any other Flip Mats or Map Packs lurking in In Service to Lore or to Delve the Dungeon Deep?

Other than Ambush Sites that is! :)

Thanks,

Dan

This book will be the more typical third-person, past tense.

I demand a second-person, future tense novel for the next PFT book.

w00t! More RDL Pathfinder Tales! I'm hoping some of the crew from Worldwound Gambit make a cameo, but even if I didn't have a subscription, I'd be on board for this one!

A bunch of the spellbooks in UM reference the "metabolize" spell. I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know where I can find it or is this reference an error?

Sadly you still can't select text in Paizo files without the aforementioned steam blowing.

800x600 resolution is waaaaaaaay too low in my opinion.

The shorter the throw the fewer lumens you need.

Projection distance is different for every projector. Most have some zoom range. How much is dependent on the make and model.

Here's a question for you. What size and color of the table you are planning on projecting onto?

Since that is essentially your "screen" that will make a difference.

If you want to go the technology route, Steel Wind gives really good advice.

Flat panel > projector. Just make sure you have some way to keep spilled drinks, crumbs and fingerprints off your display.

Sadly there are no local Venture Captains. Pennsylvania is sorely lacking in PFS activity. The closest VC is Washington D.C.

The lack of VCs and PFS is actually part of the reason I'm doing this. I'm a strong believer in complaining = volunteering.

Howdy all,

I am currently working with my FLGS to start up local PFS play. At the latest this will be held on Free RPG day but it may be sooner.

I will have 2 slots available (11a-3p and 4p-8p). Ideally, I would like to run the entire First Steps series but that isn't really possible given those constraints.

What I was wondering was this:

Based on your personal experiences with starting local groups should I...

a)... just run First Steps 1 & 2 since they are simple and easily approachable for new players.
b)... run First Steps 1 two times to allow more people to experience PFS play.
c)... run another PFS module two times (I'm thinking Frostfur Captives because exploding goblins = fun)
d)... run two different standard PFS modules (Frostfur and something else)
e)... do something different that cannot be defined by the above choices.

(Note: I have read Mark Garringer's post about playing certain PFS adventures in a specific order for maximum fun and immersion and I will be taking that info to heart before making my final decision)

However if you really want to go the projector route:

I cannot tell you how much I admire the Mitsubishi line of projectors.

The main feature you should look for is Lens Shift. This allows you to mechanically alter the light path of the projected image. Keystone correction will achieve the same basic appearance but will seriously degrade your image quality as all it does is digitally change the shape of the projected image. Lens shift is better.

Other than that, you want it as bright and as hi resolution as you can afford.

You should also count on using some sort of mirror to reflect the image onto the table. You can mount a projector vertically but it doesn't manage heat as well in non-horizontal orientations and will end up costing you more in replacement lamps.

If money is no object I would go with the Mitsubishi FL6900U. MSRP is about $15K, street price around $10K.

A cheaper (and lower resolution) option is the XD3200. MSRP $7K, street $3500.

As a 11 veteran of the professional AV world, and experience with numerous projector brands and models, here is my device...

Print them out.

It's cheaper, higher resolution and way more portable.
