Actually, I think it was because he was sick of me calling him a white dragon. Don't hog the credit, Heathy!
Sheesh...
(Anyways, turns out that Sharoth was really a gerbil)

*is slightly confused*


I ordered 49 (!!!) Green Ronin items plus the 4 PDFs. I blame Paizo. I especially blame Mike. And Lisa. And Heathy. And KC. And the rest of the people here at the Paizo messageboards that keep me coming back. You ALL are to blame! ~innocent look~ I am not to blame for anything! Not at all. ~backs away from the condeming looks~

P.S. - Mike, when are you going to be back on CoH?

And just to add fuel to the fire so you can hate us even more, this is just day 1 of 5 days of posts where more stuff will be put on sale. Ahhhhhh, I can hear the cries of hatred already! :)

Hmmm... could we have some sneak previews, please? I was about to purchase 27 Green Ronin items, but if the stuff from other d20 publishers is about to become as cheap, I may have to hold off for a few days and become more selective... at the risk of losing some of those GR items due to the present moment's hesitation! I'll be very happy if Expeditious Retreat Press stuff goes on sale... hint hint...

New sales are up. Today it looks like a line of novels based on Arthurian legend, a group of miniatures and painting tools, WoD comics, and an additional GR book about demons and devils.

Oh, and the DM screen.


Ordered pretty much 90% of the Green Ronin's stuff and the rest of the Pendragon Novels- I already have half a dozen and can heartily recommend these.


My Green Ronin order is in... I'm debating whether I should get the Pendragon stuff or not. I have a library of books I still haven't read, so despite this being an awesome deal, I'm not sure that I can justify the purchase of novels that likely will sit on my shelf and collect dust for years on end...

My only reply is that a lot of these books have been out of print for decades and at a dollar a pop you can afford to clutter up your shelves a bit.

Same here. Unfortunately, I'm also a bibliophile, so I'm trying hard to restrain myself.

Hell, I ordered nearly twenty books that I won't be able to look at for nearly another six months!


I’m going to be bummed if day 5 hits and what I want is out of stock because I wished to consolidate my order.

There will be a bunch of magazines, some TCG products, some older Paizo products going up tomorrow, and just a bunch of miscellaneous stuff over the next few days.

Btw, we aren't putting these up for sale over five days just to tease everyone. It just takes a LOT of time to put all the sales into the system and browse node them. And Vic and I have been really busy on other stuff this week, so we usually can only find an hour or two each day to put stuff up. I am going to try to get a lot of it up for sale tomorrow for the weekend, but I doubt I will have the time to put everything up that I want to until next week.

Any chance well see any of those 3.5 forgotten realms books getting sliced into half price!

Is especially blamed.

When my frustration with GW exceeds my enjoyment of GW, which at the current rate of things will be in a week or two. I will then play CoH until my GW frustration meter drops back down to 0, at which point I'll go back to GW.

Yes, I know, I'm very strange. ;P

~laughter~ It is ok. We still like you. BTW, Issue 11 should be Live either next week or the week after. I just wanted to let you know. When it goes live, I will post about it on the CoH thread.

At what point will you return to EVE, then? :*(

Sadly, this didn't happen. Look for more sale items next week, though.

I wish the Book of Fiends is also on sale.

That is far less clear to me. I had a lot of fun playing it, but I can't afford to keep up two MMO monthly payments at the moment. Particularly for as little as I play them compared to GW.

So... later...?

Clearly you need a raise, or at least a "research" slush fund.

Hey, that's right--Paizo and GR are friendly, and Eric wrote it, so I wonder, what are the chances of a pdf being published? I'd pay.


I am in australia and just put 29 items in my cart for less than $50, then looked at the postage $144.. Gak!

back quietly away trying not to make eye contact.

What would be the cost within USA for such an order?

I'm paying $20 for shipping for a little bit more than your order. Minus $10 for the shipping discount.

I bet the postage is based on weight. If it is, you're still getting a killing.

Oh, don't get me wrong. Games are a tax write-off, but that only helps in April. The other eleven months are what kill my budget. ;D

~envious glare~ Lucky SOB! How can I use my game purchases to get a tax writeoff? Oh, right! I can't since I work for the phone company, not a game company!


BTW, I am glad that someone is able to do that. Gratz on that ability! ~grins~ And j/k on the envious part.

Yeah, it's a great ability. I think it's supernatural. ;D

Geez, man. If you're not envious of that, what do I have to do to make you envious? Tell you that I have Wolfgang Baur's cell number on speed dial or something?

Nope. Not even that.


Much like a mob hit man that does his last job and finally decides to walk away, I thought I was out.

I had partaken of the Green Ronin sale and managed to get some great deals. It was time to hunker down and spend my money more conservatively. I thought I had kicked the habit. Really did.

No sooner is my most recent order out the door, the monkey off my back, than suddenly your good natured store blog says,"Well, hey, we just got a few copies of the Book of Fiends and gosh, we don't know how long they're going to last."

My mind, against my better judgement, does the math. Going rate, $90 on Amazon. $20 here. And while I'm at it, I don't have Legions of Hell or Armies of the Abyss. $2 each. Even though one package has already shipped. Even though I'm getting GameMastery modules for Christmas.

"Out of Print" whispered the store blog, like Mephistopheles in a production of Faust, except with Dungeons and Dragons manuals instead of world-shaking power.

My hand trembled while I clicked "accept". Withdrawal or anticipation?


James, The Book of Fiends has the material from both the Armies of the Abyss and the Legions of Hell in it. ~WEG~ Of course, I have the Book of Fiends already.

James, dont quote me on this, but I have a feeling that most or all of the content of Legions of Hell and Armies of the Abyss is rolled into the Book of Fiends ... which I'm also having a hard time resisting buying...

Sharoth beat me to it! And he's probably a more reliable source than I.


Of course, I refuse to say how much I really spend on the Paizo sale. ~glares at Cosmo~ Keep your mouth shut. It is asecret between you all and me!


*drools some more*
My hubby gave me the puppy dog look. FAILED Will save.

~laughter~ That has happened to me a lot lately! It is a good thing that I do not have more money or I would be buying even more stuff!

Well, crap.

EDIT: Wait! I have two players I needed to get Christmas presents for! They can each have one! Ahahahaha!! What better way to hide how selfish I really am?!


Me, calling Customer Service: "I want to give you more of my money!"
Cosmo: "I can help you with that!"

Best. Conversation. Today.

Of course, sir!

I would NEVER reveal this type *cough* a LOT *cough* of information about our customers.

Perish the thought.

Scarab Sages

I've broken down and purchased The Book of the Righteous, The Advanced Bestiary, The Freeport Trilogy, The Book of Fiends, Hell in Freeport, Todd Gamble's Cartographica, and two GameMastery Encounters (Vault of the Whispering Tyrant, and Throne of the Gorilla King).

Liberty's Edge

I think I've shelled out around $300 between the various sales and the game supplies I've been wanting to get... Including all three of the Advanced books, and a ton of other stuff. Xmas gifts and personal supplies.

...I'm gonna have to break down and get another bookcase.


Uncle! Uncle! Please have som mercy, you all at Paizo! My wallet is crying right now. ~cries~ No more! I am begging you!

~grins~ Unfortunatly, after this latest purchase, I am out from any others for the next month or so. Thanks for the sale Paizo!


~sighs~ Great! Just great! Another sale at Paizo. ~goes off to pout, after having ordered some more stuff~

The long forgotten shame of Sharoth!
