Ummm....
I am such a Paizo fanboy, but I am seeing some hypocritical talk here.
Paizo is tossing out race books too. Yes Paizo seems to focus more on adventure paths, stand-alone adventures, society stuff and all that but arguably the adventure paths have feats, classes, equipment, etc. that all add tons of stuff to the game. And they are hitting with race books and guide to XXX area books. If anything Paizo has a more ambitious publishing schedule than WOTC. It's just that they aren't bloating the rules as much, they are smothering the adventure arena.
I mean come on, some people like things, some don't. If you don't like it then ignore it instead of pointing a finger and attacking.
After the original poster realized the race books are more or less booklets of the same size the paizo race books are, he seemed to be o.k. with, and it seems, most others who reacted with "oh no, more books in shorter time" accepted that as well. All a missunderstanding fueled by the fear to see the "races of..." Books of 3.5 revamped for 4th editionn

3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 5) = 13
3d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 1) = 7
3d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 4) = 8
3d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 2) = 11
3d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 4) = 12
3d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2) = 11
Well I guess it's a rather unimpressive fighter

And then there are those "FLGS" who are not contend with the regular cover price, who find or invent means or reasons to add a little bit more to the final price (shipping as example). If asked why, the explain that their ordering of your specifically wished for product involved additional shipping costs due to the reason that their regular Retailer does not stock your product. Thus he had to order it separately with someone else.......
Funny. My FLGS gives a discount if he has to order it for you and you pay up front. If you order it then pay once it gets there, it's still normal price though.
Sorry if there is a misunderstanding. I ain't saying that all FLGS (or a majority) that charge more than the cover price. I am saying though that out of my personal experience, there are a few who do. (Especially Stores outside of the USA (in my case Germany), I have stumbled across 3 Stores who charge between 3.5 $ up to 50 $ above the over price. YES, there is one store that really is charging 112 US $ (one hundred and twelve )for the PFRPG. (I assume they held their copies back, ever since it was known that the first print run has been sold out way before the official release date).
See here:
http://www.fanen.com/allgemeines/s-317_1138_-1_-1/katalog/1747375116/pathfi nder-rpg.html
(OK, seems like that 112 US dollar (or 80 Euro) is not their regular price. In the Text they inform us that the November print run will "only cost 50 Euro (or 70 US Dollar). THAT is still 20 US Dollar above the regular price. Most stores offer the book at the regular price of 40 Euro (or 56 US Dollar).
And, as I was the one who bought that book, the owner eplained to me that he bought the copy at cover price on GenCon and brought it back to germany in his han luggage - and since I'm a regular custome he will refund me once the second print is available - he is sometimes a bit strange but generally friendly ;)

I believe we're entering the realm of semantics now. However, I fail to see how the base classes included in the Core Rulebook are more "core" than the base classes that will appear in this upcoming publication. My sense is that this will be part of the PFRPG subscription and that they will be just as "core" as the base classes that appear in the Core Rulebook. I've already been assured by Mr. Jacobs that the hardcover books in this subscription line will be campaign neutral:
"All of the rulebooks in the line, from the Core Rulebook to the Bestiaries to all the other upcoming hardcovers will be campaign neutral. In cases where campaigns are necessary to illustrate a point or provide flavor (such as the case for deities for clerics), we'll draw from Golarion, but that should be relatively rare."
Quote from James Jacobs
I consider "all the rulebooks" in this line to be "core." Apparently, you don't.
Quote from todays blog:
In addition to the expansion of the core classes, this book will also contain six new base classes. They are called base classes because they go from level 1 to level 20, but they are not core classes. Confused? Allow me to explain. We are making an assumption that these new classes will take a role in our world (and possibly yours) that is less common. You will not find them in every adventure, nor will they appear in every product. That means that you can introduce them to your game in a more limited fashion, without having to retcon them into every facet of your campaign.
Apparently Paizo at least doesn't consider the new classes core...

I enjoy the posts here and am curious about the other posters. I'm guessing most people are older..
Age?
Occupation?
Type of Person?
Interesting Points?
Gaming Style?
Favorite Module ever?
Most unbalanced character you ran?
I'm 33
Currently unemployed, earning some money working nightshifts at a local gasstation.
Thoughtful, maybe a bit geeky, sometimes moody.
Yes, there are.
I'm more DM than player. I tend towards empathising story and roleplaying, but I use minis because I suck at narrative combat (or even keeping track of opponents and npc...).
HArd to say, there are several. Among them are Dragon Mountain, Temple of Elemental Evil, Mad God's Key, Vault of Larrin Karn, Flight of the Red Raven, The Skinsaw Murders, Red Hand of Doom and Night of the Walking Dead.
I don't recall...probably one of my old Rolemaster Characters. I remeber ALL of the characters in that Group to be able to waste scores of most opponents.
