When 4E was announced, the market for 3.5 products died almost immediately as distributors and retailers no longer wanted products for an "obsolete" game. At that time, Necromancer has three adventures ready for printing but had to cancel them. These adventures are now collecting dust as Necromancer waits for an acceptable revision of the GSL.

Would it be possible for Paizo to release these "lost" Necromancer adventures through the "Game Mastery" line and turn the line into something similar to what White Wolf did with "Sword & Sorcery Studios"?

The Game Mastery line presently consists of "neutral" accessories. Paizo could publish Necromancer's 3.5 adventures under a "re-created" Game Mastery Adventures line. This way, Necromancer could continue to produce 3.x material but under Paizo's label which distributors and retailers would recognize and want. Since these adventures would be Game Mastery products rather than Pathfinder products, a license wouldn't be needed (beyond the OGL) and the adventures wouldn't be linked to the Pathfinder setting and thus remain setting neutral, like all of NG's adventures.

Currently, GameMastery products seem to be few and far between. I don't see why Paizo couldn't slip one of Necromancer's 3.5 adventure into the production/release schedule every once in a while. Paizo already intends to do Necromancer Games' 4E products which, in accordance with the GSL, will require an entirely new product line to be created. Why not just use an existing product line to make new Necromancer 3E products as well?

Of course, its probably not that simple and there's probably more involved than I'm aware of but it's just sorta my own personal theory/thought/idea of how Necromancer could get out of "idle" and back into action.

Would it be possible to add the following item to Order #958943:

Bits of Darkness: Dungeon Duo (d20) Print Edition
Publisher- Tabletop Adventures
Price- $18.90

Thank you for your assitance

Is it possible to add/remove items to/from an order that was just placed? If so, how?

In PFAP#1, we have a Riddleport mercenary by the name of Orik Vancaskerkin. In PFAP#7, we have a renegade Karvosan Guard by the name of Verik Vancaskerkin.

What gives? A common name? Are they meant to be related? Authors just like the name and use it alot? Inside joke/Easter Egg of some type?

I ordered "Burnt Offerings" with the alternate cover (Karzoug) but recieved the standard cover (Valeros) instead.

Can this be corrected or should I just re-order?

My apologies if this is in the wrong forum and if it has been asked before-

Is it possible to pick and choose which items to buy/recieve in a subscription? I'd like to subscribe to Pathfinder Chronicles but am really not interested in the accessories like the card decks and map folios. I am only interested in the books.

So... is there such thing as a "books only" subscription?

This is probably going to seem like a REALLY stupid question but....

In W2 - River into Darkness, the payrate is 20gp each day. When exactly do these "paid days" start? At the beginning of the journey upriver or upon reaching Nightfall Station?

Since the PCs are trying to get hired on as mercenaries, I would think the pay doesn't start until they reach Nightfall Station and they are actually hired. Protecting the River Queen is the price they pay for the captain giving them a ride upriver to the station and their prospective jobs.

Yet... the riverboat captain pays them a certain amount of their mercenary wage in advance.

I'm confused.

In W2 - River into Darkness, "kahveh" is listed as one of the trade items exported out of the jungle by the Aspis Consortium. What exactly is "kahveh"?

Going by the pronunciation "CAW-vay", I'm assuming that its coffee but that's just a guess.

Anyone have a clearer idea or better guess?

With all the recent changes due to the release of 4e, the GSL and the OGL, we here at Louis Porter Jr. Design have decided to create an all new OGL 3.5 logo which can be used by any and all 3rd party publisher, completely and absolutely free of charge, with any of their products that initial had the d20 logo or was OGL created material.

The reason for this new OGL 3.5 logo; beyond the obvious loss of the use of the d20 logo; is to unify those companies who still wish to support the 3.5 OGL rule set. This logo easily brands and makes d20 and OGL material easy to identify with this logo so people can tell on sight what gaming system they are supporting. The initial concept of the OGL was to make the gaming industry stronger by making it possible for more people to create and make products to support the concepts of the OGL. With the changes in 4e and the GSL, and the recent comments by Linae Foster and Scott Rouse of that you can only make products for either the OGL or the new GSL, this is no longer the case. And with those actions have caused the creation of this new OGL 3.5 logo.

This logo has bee created in several graphic formats including Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Illustrator EPS, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop JPEG and TIFF. Each of these formats comes with three different versions: color, Grayscale and Black and White. A complete zip file containing all these logos can be downloaded directly from this link. We hope that any and all 3rd party publishers who stick with OGL 3.5 will use and support this initiative. A lot of customers gave us their hard earned money and supported us; I think it is only fair that we return the favor to them. This isn't the first time David has gone after Goliath and attempted something amazing. Thank you for this support!

Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this. If it is, please feel free to move it to the appropriate forum

When will the PDFs of Pathfinder #5 and #6 be available for purchase?

Will "Into the Haunted Forest" eventually be available in PDF?

In an alcove at the bottom of the Pit of Seven-Jaws, there is the corpse of a drow with a mithral shirt, a +1 longbow and pair of masterwork scimitars. Was this meant as a joke reference to a certain popular novel character?

There isn't a PDF version of "Drakthar's Way" from SCAP available, is there?

Will STAP eventually be available in a single volume?

My apologies if this has already be discussed. I tried searching the boards for an answer and didn't find one.
