Starfinder Society Intro: Year of Fortune's Fall

When I look in my digital downloads, Starfinder Society Intro: Year of Fortune's Fall showed up as Wayfinder #10. How can I access Years of Fortune's Fall? It also downloads and opens are Wayfinder #10.

Is this why I only had a handful of books unlocked on my paizo account? It said 40+, I only had like 20 something.

Owlcat Games has set an extremely high bar, it's going to be very difficult to not make comparisons with possibly some of the best cRPG's *ever* made after Owlcat (or Paizo not sure tbh) decided to go another direction. Assuming these are even in the same category of videogames at all.

I'm cautiously optimistic, as I'm worried they'll just be lifting and shifting into the Tales of Candlekeep engine which was not great, both as a game and an engine. Not quite the impeccable track record I would hope for the next entry in a Paizo videogame.

Fingers crossed.

Thank's everybody but not really what I'm looking for. Control-F seems to be a search function, I'm trying to bulk download my PDF's (meaning, download them all at the same time instead of individually)

Why would the product discussion threads be in the Paizo Products forum instead of the Product Discussions forum?

Do you not see the irony in this? What even is the difference between "Paizo Products" forum and "Product Discussion" forum. It's a fair comment, and should be addressed to reduce confusion in seemingly related forums.

The filter feature simply doesn't work (I click starfinder, it still brings up pathfinder stuff - I click rise of the runelords, it shows nothing except a wayfinder pdf, despite me owning anniversary edition ROTRL).

I think I'd rather simply bulk download and organize my PDF's locally because it's extremely difficult to use the Paizo website (in general, not just the digital page)

Hello. The CS forum seems to be missing, when I went to help - how to contact customer service, then clicked visit the CS forum, it just kind of brought me to a list of different forums there is no CS one.

That being said. I ordered the starfinder humble bundle and redeemed the key for the physical copy of SF armory. No idea how to redeem it, the humble redemptions instructions are useless and there's no indication on the website anywhere on how to get that.

There is not a Customer Service Forum any longer.

All customer service problems need to be sent to

customer.service@paizo.com

It's taking about 2 business days right now (but Monday is a US holiday).

Thanks I actually saw this in another post and sent an email, but I did get a response pretty quickly.

The instructions were wrong in the original email, so for others who might not know where to go -

"Please go to My Account-Partner Redemptions where you redeemed the codes, then scroll down to below the list of codes redeemed. There should be four boxes with 1-2-3-4. Following these steps should check out your physical copy of the beginner box."

I couldn't find the customer service forum so I hope this is the right place (please move to CS if not, cant find it anywhere).

I got an email saying the humble bundle issue is fixed, telling me to go to my gifts to redeem through a wizard. When I go to the gifts page, it just asks me to put in a gift certificate code, with nothing else except some blurbs about terms and conditions.

I put in my code from humble bundle and it says code is not recognized, same error on the partner redemption page. What am I supposed to do?

Also cant find physical order, but alas at the same time I see my SF bb never shipped so I at least got that lol

I redeemed the humble bundle with the physical tier for a beginner box. It popped up initially with a payment declined, so I tried another card and then it just completely disappeared from my redemption list and I don't seem to be able to place the order to pay for shipping

Hello,

I am not seeing an option to pay the shipping and set up the order for the physical rewards.

I encountered this same issue as well since I had redeemed a physical book in the past. When you start clicking on the 1,2,3 buttons, the Starfinder Beginner's Box will then be seen as the order. The presentation is really confusing, so hopefully Paizo can improve this in the future. Hope this helps the posters in the thread.

Yep, that was it. The UI is really lacking some intuitiveness. Case closed.

It's on this page: https://paizo.com/paizo/account/redemptions (under your Account settings).

Hi Sara,

Thanks for the response.

Apologies if it wasn't clear, but yes I am going to redemptions under my account settings and the most recent one is Order 36481436 (from a previous humble bundle for PF2e bestiary). There is nothing showing for the $50 tier starfinder bundle to pay for shipping - the same issue as Novelcat.

Nothing like being indignant or outraged at paying the price for a vendor cup of coffee for an app that will only update and improve.

3 bucks a month subscription? I'd probably say no. If it improves to add in tracking of conditions? Sounds like a purchase well worth making.

Will the improvements come for free ?

Say that it doesn't. What's another dollar to something you like using?

No one is making anyone purchase anything. Chances are if your are at this forum, you're buying 50 dollar books already from Paizo (and they are well worth it; thanks guys!) But drawing a line in the sand and shouting NO to 2-3 bucks is just silly.

You could argue you posting about people complaining about it is just as silly them actually complaining. The average cost of an app is under $1, so you have to compare to what else is available - the competition. It's rather reductive to brush people off on the notion of "its just a cost of a cup of joe" - that's not how markets, especially app markets, work.

Non-free/non-freemium is the least effective pricing strategy in the mobile market. The price point is a huge factor for an apps success and there's already some glaring issues with this one. The free competition does effectively the same thing if not better in some cases, at a better price point and with broader application - that is not pigeonholed to PF2E. The niche market is even more niche when you add an upfront cost without any way to even try it out.

It's all good feedback for the dev and perhaps they'll take the feedback into consideration, maybe even offer an alternative pricing strategy to gain more customers (maybe include Paizo/3pp ads in the app??). For me, $2.99 is a hard sell when there's already a number of complaints and the alternative is likely better for the cost.

Hello! Are there any good AP chapters that can be run as a stand alone module?

A good example I can think of is RoTRL Chapter 1 - Burnt Offerings. To me, it feels like it serves as a good intro to Varisia/Sandpoint, has a pretty decent sub-plot leading to a decent BBEG in the end and can conclude without playing further. Granted, I ran this 4 years ago now but I remember letting my PC's start over at chapter 2 if they felt they didn't like their class at the time, as there the hook could be made with previous PC's or new ones either way.

Are there any other individual AP chapters that could stand as an adventure by itself?

So I'm looking to stream my next AP. The community use guidelines seem vague. What is the best way to ensure I'm doing it legally? If i own PDF's, can I use maps and create tokens from the artwork? If I own the VTT content, am I allowed to use that during the stream? Am I required to make some sort of OGL statement at the beginning of each stream, and credit the authors/artists used during that session?

I'm getting $16 shipping for 3 shirts. This can't be right?

I saw that this game was pretty cheap, but I don't really know how it works. I see there is an Obsidian edition that adds cards and has "adventure packs" but I don't really know what these mean in the context of the game. Do I get more heroes to choose from? Is it like LOTR adventure CG where I can add on to my currently existing decks or something? Does this play similarly to the live card game (as in, might I be interesting in playing the live card game if I like the videogame or vice versa)?

Sorry. Total noob about this game.

A black-furred catfolk in leather armor wields a curved blade in each hand. He leaps forward as if to slash with both weapons at once.

Is this the art brief? lol

From how it's worded, I've also been trying my best to err on the side of caution, and have no visuals whatsoever from the books for my Twitch stream. Not even for tokens.

If I'm wrong, I would be very relieved and excited.

Yeah it's an interesting gray area. I assume community made maps are 100% free range, as they are derivative works not owned (I dont think) by Paizo. But again - extractions from PDF's or owned virtual tabletop pre-made modules (roll20, fantasy grounds pf modules etc) unsure if that falls under "visual journal" or w/e

As worded it basically inhibits anybody who didn't get in on it before live plays blew up (Glass Cannon Podcast etc) from streaming anything. Hopefully an official response soon.

It wont let me update my payment method so I'm making a new order with my new payment method.

For official Paizo modules on Roll20, how would the CUP work in regard to the various graphics (maps, NPC art, etc.) for a video campaign journal?

Would a video campaign journal of a Roll20 module simply not be allowed?

Thanks

That's a question I have as well. I was thinking about streaming my next campaign and was wondering if

A: I can use purchased modules on roll20

B: use extracted maps/graphics from a legally purchased PDF

The way its worded, you can only descriptively reference anything. The CUP seems to shut down any visual representation of the game, live plays/twitch streams etc, except for the big podcasts who have deals to be allowed to do it.

First off, not a lawyer or super big into content creation. Although, I was thinking about streaming my next campaign online while also maybe making some review videos related to Pathfinder.

I saw the community use stuff, and it says as a non-commercial user I can only descriptively reference the things listed in the allowed usage list. So does this prevent me from using say, roll20, and extracting maps, images from a legally owned PDF or even a premade purchased roll20 marketplace AP and displaying the maps/images in a streamed live play?

Additionally, a particularly eyebrow raising line is to treat paizo products in a generally good light. So, an objectively bad product is released and requires a generally good review on YouTube according to community use rules?

Lastly, the adult content rule seems a bit vague. Several events of chapter 3 RoTRL comes to mind with incest and in general hills-have-eyes murder/torture hillbilly vibes. Of course many others, but if I can indeed stream at all, must I censor Paizos own adult content to comply?

Good afternoon,

I'd like to know how I can purchase the interactive maps for Ruins of Azlant. I see several other AP's have a $15 interactive map bundle (eg https://paizo.com/products/btpy8srb?Pathfinder-Adventure-Path-Jade-Regent-I nteractive-Maps), but I don't see one for RoA.

1. Is there an interactive map bundled available somewhere for RoA
2. If not, do the interactive maps come with the individual PDF purchases for the AP chapters

Thanks ahead of time!

There's an interactive maps pdf for each separate book of Ruins of Azlant. I assume they come with the main pdfs since they're not available separately. Otherwise I suggest asking Paizo customer service.

thank you. I did check a PDF I had in my current account and the zip came with the interactive maps. I will check customer service. While I own the physical books, I'm playing online and it would be great to only pay $15 for the map pack instead of each AP chapter

You may want to reread how negative levels actually impact a character. They aren't literally 2 levels below the rest of the party. They take cumulative penalties and the penalties impact some level dependent variables, however things like casters aren't losing their spells or class abilities etc.

It sounds like you are saying the party is level 3 and one character is being treated as level 1 - this isn't the case. I thought this too, and was relieved to find out my PC's didn't have to backwards calculate several levels lol

Edit: somehow missed the response above where they clarified the negative level rules.

this link seems to list a bunch of stuff.

Wow this is great. Awesome list.

Thanks everyone for the responses, I think I can get what I need from these.

I found many other interactive maps for sale in PDF form, but Ruins of Azlant seems missing. We're they not made available for this AP?

Where can I purchase the interactive maps for adventure paths? I see a store page for Mummy's Mask https://paizo.com/products/btpy991m?Pathfinder-Adventure-Path-Mummys-Mask-I nteractive-Maps

But I can't find one for say, Ruins of Azlant. Did some AP's not get interactive maps?

I'd like to offer my group the opportunity to do a solo (1gm 1 pc) sidequest during downtime. Is there any iconic class items that I could offer any given class that currently exists? This would be level 15+ pc's but if theres anything thats not totally broken for lower level I would consider. Not asking about the adventure itself, just any items worthwhile that might have unique class-specific components

Roll20 determines the speed at which they release things, but they spent a good part of the summer prepping the Pathfinder 2E rules set for release in August, along with the Fall of Plaguestone adventure, and the Bestiary just came out a month ago. They've also released the first 2 volumes of Return of the Runelords for 1E this year.

Just replying for s#~~s and gigs. So, they are focusing solely on 2e and 1e/SF has basically been abandoned? There's just so little releases on r20 (even for 2e) for me to be excited about a partnership that was announced 3 years ago at this point.

I was at Dragon Con in 2017 (or was it 2018?) when Paizo announced its new partnership with Roll20. I was expecting to see a boatload of content coming out, and nearly 3 years later it seems there's only a handful of releases.

What happened? I was looking for pre-made modules to run with my friends and everything seems to be on Fantasy Grounds, including some very recent releases. Did the partnership just not pan out? Is there plans to get more content on roll20 or should I just throw in the towel and switch to FG which seems to be the primary supported VTT platform for Paizo products?

My players just found the Revelation Quill. I was curious about a couple things.

First, is the weekly power if used in lieu of the daily power or can the daily power still be used if the weekly option is used.

Second, how all knowing is the Quill in both instances of it's use (weekly and daily)? I'm trying to prepare for the kinds of questions the Quill will respond to and to what extend it can answer or provide responses

Hello. As the title indicates, I'm wondering if the BB is sanctioned for society play and if so, where I can find the chronicles. If it's not, is there plans and/or might it be approved before GenCon?

Hello bonebrah,

I can absolutely cancel the subscription. As the items were digital and have fulfilled automatically, I wanted to confirm if you were looking to return the two scenarios you received or if you would still like to keep those? Please let me know!

I have no claimed them or downloaded them, so please remove them if that's OK.

I misunderstood what was required to pre-order the Starfinder BB free pdf and I picked the wrong sub. Please cancel this one

Why are the subscription things so convoluted? Can't there just be a little tab that says "This is included in X subscription with PDF" or something along those lines.

I'm still a little confused, so I can or cannot get this in a subscription with a PDF?

If I buy the physical SF: Beginners Box direct from Paizo, does it come with the PDF as well?

Gonna be wrapping up ROTL soon. I think I'd like the next one to be a different direction than ROTL (outside of Varisia perhaps, away from the same type of monsters in ROTL). What's a good AP to move onto?

I was thinking Mummies Mask? I'm not sure how highly rated it is, but I like the setting. I also just got Shattered Star in the humble bundle, but seems too samey unless someone is able to explain otherwise. Thanks ahead of time!

I saw the Pathfinder humble bundle has a trial for this. I've never bothered to look into the game as it's not released yet and I'm not a huge fan of Early Access.

So, is it dead? Is it worth trying? Worth buying or should I still just keep playing more established MMO's.

I saw the new campaign is a 6 part. I guess the community in general preferred 6 parts or what?

This encounter is potentially coming up now for my group and I wanted some clarifications on this fight.

The Black Monk's flurry of blows also inflicts Mummy Rot. So, if a full round attack against a foe hits all 6 attacks, does the player make 6 fort saves (or until one fails?).

Also, the DC isn't indicated on the Mummy Rot. Is that just the same DC as the standard mummy rot DC in the bestiary?

Thanks for the responses. It seems that perhaps my party didn't focus on movement or simply isn't taking advantage of it.

Partway through this encounter, but it seems its impossible for the party to run anywhere without pretty much getting to the end of the timeline. The sandpoint map has a 300ft measure, so if the party goes to the north gate then runs to Tanners bridge you're talking what? 6 rounds to run 900ish feet to run around the streets to the bridge? Don't even ask about the Scarnetti Manor. The raid is long over by that time.

Am I missing something with the traveling options in this event or is the point this encounter that the party is largely helpless to the town getting wrecked and the giants retreating?

Hello bonebrah,

It appears that we returned your books on November 6th and the Customer Service Representative who processed the return (but was not part of any previous communication regarding the books) emailed you to confirm the return as is our protocol. We did not receive a reply to this return confirmation so the refund had not yet been issued.

Thank you for getting in contact with us! I have now confirmed the return and issued the refund for the items. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. Thank you!

Thanks a bunch!

I sent the hardcover books back to you by returning to sender and it's been a couple weeks now. I have not seen a refund. If a refund has been issued please advise the amounts and dates so I can cross reference them. I got an email about the Starfinder hardcover being refused by sender, I sent both orders at the same time, so they should both be refunded at the same time.

Thanks

Please cancel my subscription
