Needing to reduce the amount of space I have for gaming storage. Looking to sell the entire 1E AP line and the companions. I know I could put them on ebay individually or per AP but does anyone know where I could get rid of it all at once?

Disappointed sure, but this gives me more play to play instead of GM. My group is almost done with Ironfang Invasion and after that I am going to switch over to player for the first time in about 5 years. I plan to resume running again once this is out. So, huzzah for being a player a bit longer.

I am hanging onto my charter status for a while. Haven't kept up with 2E too much but just ordered the core book. I am seriously running out of room to store APs though. Might have to sell some.

That sounds interesting.

So far I am considering running some of Council of Thieves(?) As a beginning point. Still trying to sort out what I want to do.

So, I have been playing the Shadowrun PC games and am about halfway through Hong Kong. The character of Kindly Cheng makes me want to start a campaign based in Absalom with the party as new gang members. I am curious if anyone has tried making a campaign similar? I am still trying to think of all the logistics and a possible overall ploy.

Looking for anyone's input on how that might play out.

Its PFS but you're about 50 miles from 3 spots. All of them together have got to know somewhere closer to you

There is actually a PFS game ran in London. But it's on Thursday evenings which unfortunately doesn't work with my schedule. Appreciate the help though.

NP, if available the Mid? grade plastic probably best. The less detailed one is very porous and detail is not great. Hope it works for you.

I just received Order 3855856 and a book got messed up. I got The Inferno Gate and Heaven Unleashed (which I didn't order) but no Armor Master's Handbook (that I did order).

Thank you,

Just got the soon to be shipping notice for this. However, I had placed an order a little while back for some PDF's and Isles of the Shackles and the Shackles Map Folio. They were put into my sidecart. I just wanted to make sure that they were going to ship as well. Please let me know. Thank you.

I've always been a bit of a lurker and my total post count is rather pitiful. However, I wanted to hop in and say a few things about my experience with Paizo and their customer service.

Since before Dungeon and Dragon went the way of the Dodo I have been subscribed for something from Paizo. That has been a few years back now and during that whole time I have contacted customer service 3-4 times. For me that seems an excellent number. I've had more screw ups from places that I've bought a handful of things from.

Most recently I had an issue with an order I placed for the Great Golem sale. Nothing bad just a bit of delayed shipping. (Which with a sale this big is to be expected, I know) Still I was starting to worry and so sent a quick email just to check to make sure everything was going smoothly especially since it was such a great sale.

I got my reply today that said as I noted the warehouse was super busy but that my wait time did seem a bit long and would be checked up on. The customer service rep who I believe is possibly Dora's cousin or something. Was understanding, polite, and up front. This has always been the case each time I've had a problem since I first subscribed.

I also do a great deal of customer service and I marvel at how simple and straight forward Paizo deals with my problems. I wish more places could be so forthcoming and prompt with replies. So I just wanted to express my thanks to Paizo, my most recent helper Diego, and all the other CSR's that have ever helped me with a problem.

Sometimes it's the little things that can change a whole day for the better. Thank you.

I had a guy at office depot give me a hard time once saying it was copyrighted. After a short discussion on the watermark and my rights having purchased said PDF. Eventually they printed it but still every time I go to print something and "that guy" is there I get to have the discussion all over again.

Also, he is the only person that always screws up my print order. Want it printed front and back he prints it just front. Want it bound he leaves it in sheets. I think he may do it just to piss me off. Not that I mind because I just make them reprint it correctly.

I think at some point I saw a template or something along the lines of Elder/Primal/Legendary that could be added and give you a Elder Shark or whatever. Now however I cannot seem to find this anywhere right now.

Could someone who has better Foo than me point me in the right direction.

Hi, I received my order today and as always was greatly pleased with the material. However, for the first time ever one of the books fell apart on me. I was reading Wrath of the Righteous Part 1 and when I got to page 18 the whole front from page 1-14 came out. I tried putting it back in but it will not hold. Is there a way to fix it or do I just need to purchase a new book? Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thank you for your time in addressing this matter.

So what do I have to sell to be able to buy all the minis Paizo is putting out. A leg, arm and a leg, soul? Gods I wish I could afford them all.

Maybe someday.

Remember it and had it. Still have some of the miniatures but the rest of it has vanished over the years. The same holds true of my old copy of heroquest.

After all these years I finally primed the miniatures and my kids and I have been painting them. Loads of fun.

Check out update #7 for the Dungeon Crawler Minis Kickstarter. If it goes high enough the hut will be offered.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1941357427/dungeon-crawler-minis-tidal- wave-dcm/posts

Seems 3000+ minis just is not enough for me... I say bring them all on.

Always nice to look at the first list and see Lisa and Erik in there as well. Does that mean I have good taste in Kickstarters? Or am I just a sucker for Minis.

Bones... I am looking at you. :)

Trying to Convince my wife that I need a full set of RotRL minis when I just spent $200 on Reapers Bones Kickstarter.

Not sure she is buying it. Any ideas on how to convince her?

Yeah I gave in earlier... watched it for a while now... but there is just no way I could pass it up with that many minis... now I just have to learn to paint a wee bit better so they will actually look good.

My wife may kill me when they get shipped in. If so your all welcome to fight to the death over them as my dried out husk watches.

EDIT: Wow... First reply never managed that before.

If people get disability because of mental illness, based on notes from their regular doctors (or any free clinic they attend) then I will give that there's a problem with the system. Those kind of diagnoses shouldn't be given by anyone but professional psychiatrists, who are trained to diagnose them. It also shouldn't be as simple as just visiting one for a session or two. Diagnosing mental illness takes much longer time and should be done under proper circumstances.

Agreed. But as you stated multiple visits should be required. Here if someone applies and has no medical records available they get sent to a doctor for an evaluation of the condition. Just one if it is just a mental allegation or more if it is also physical.

I really wish our health care system was different but that is just the way it is.

In addition military spending could certainly be honed down a bit. As was stated above at one point $500.00 toilet seats. I remember ordering a single screw to fix gear while I was in the military. Cost $86.00 the unit didn't have the funds to spare for that piece of gear so we went to Lowes and spent 0.22.

For whatever it's worth in the anecdote game, I had an internship in a federal court in law school and reviewed the rulings of administrative officials rejecting disability claims based on, for example, mental health/back pain claims. There are standards for who receives such benefits, and a process for reviewing and denying such benefits. Increasing the funding allocated to the administrative hearing process or judicial review process could reduce abuse to a far greater extent than imposing more draconian punishments.

I suspect the cost of administration/enforcement is greater than paying the additional benefits, particularly if the scope of claims challenged is expanded, but if we're interested in tilting at the idealistic windmill of identifying and weeding out all of the unworthy poor rather than trying to address the practical problems caused by poverty, that's not a relevant concern.

This is true as well. I had read an articule at one point about a lawgiver and an attorney having a deal to split proceeds from approved decisions. Abuse is all over.

If so many of you are seeing this here, there and all over, even within your own extended family, why aren't you reporting it? You seem to be very much up in arms about it, but apparently not enough to actively try and put an end to it.

If they're all psycho, knife-wielding lunatics - if that's your excuse for not reporting them - then maybe they're actually entitled to the help they get (because they can't work a proper job with that kind of mental instability)?

I did. I would still do so if I knew it was happening.

"Crazy" checks? Seriously?

Let me see if I can put this mildly... F%*~ YOU!
How the f$%& dare you call people with mental illness for crazy people and deride the fact that they might be so debilitated by their illness that they can't hold down an ordinary job!

I apologzie if the statement offended you. I was using the terminology that was used before. Again I am not saying that most people have don't have a legitimate need for the benefits, just that some people abuse it.

As I said before I have had some experience with this and when a member of my extended family is drawing a check while also working under the table for more than I earn in a year it's a problem. Not everyone does it but enough do that it is a problem.

As a side note said family member did eventually get caught and was imprisoned for it.

What do we do with the "crazy" ones who actually can't work?

I never said some of it wasn't for a good reason or that it wasn't needed. It is needed for those who actually need it and are disabled. But some people do just mooch the system. I grew up in an area where some people in HS stated that all they wanted to do when they grew up was to draw a check. Some people will always abuse anything they are offered. I never said all of them do.
