The Great Toy Heist description still mentions a free pdf (which was true before) but I only see a 5$ price and no link to the free pdf.

The last paragraph has links to the Sanctioning Document and to the free PDF for the adventure. (https://downloads.paizo.com/PZO14001E_TheGreatToyHeist.pdf)

So, I did a little research and the top 2 download options are Single File, the next 2 are by Chapter. Again, I had to click on all 4 to even see what the download option would be (Single or Chapter).

With that said, when I choose the top one it is, in fact, NOT WATERMARKED and is as you guys have been claiming to be without watermarks. So, why have 4 options? At least the Single option (the second one in the list) is watermarked and has someone else's name on it?

The incorrect watermark is a known mistake on their end (with the copy watermarked for a particular Paizo employee being uploaded instead of the original). I believe that they stated that the file had been updated with a watermark-free copy, but the version that I'm able to download isn't fixed.

I however only have 2 downloads for LO:DC available: the incorrectly watermarked single file, and the un-watermarked split set of files.

Hi guys. Still no response from customer service about my subscritption. After i fixed the payment no way to retry the transaction.

same here, no response from CS yet after a week... have you had any more luck recently?

Seems like they built up a significant backlog. I put in a ticket on the 20th and haven't heard back beyond the automated confirmation email.

(Though the ticket isn't relevant anymore anyways; I had the flip-mat subscription item that wasn't showing up as being in the same order as the Lost Omens subscription, and I wanted to check before the 24th to see if they'd end up being shipped together or separately, since I didn't want to pay brokerage fees twice.

In the end I skipped that item, then cancelled the two Flip-Mat subs entirely because the shipping, duties, etc will bring the price to 2+ times the list price on months where the Flip-Mats are the only subscription item.)

I'm not sure... that it's supposed to work that way... But the PDF copy of Draconic Codex I got from my library is watermarked to Lyle Borders. That's a bit... confusing.

Also when accessing the new library, you do not know if you are looking at PDF file per chapter or Single PDF... you have to open and find out...

I just downloaded mine tonight and it also has Lyle’s watermark on it.

Also, I’m not sure my copy of Draconic Codex shipped. It still says “Awaiting Fulfillment”, but I was charged on the 24th. What is the status on everyone else’s orders?

Mine also hasn't shipped. I've also got another order from the 19th that's in the same boat.

Is there any way we can download a pdf in one file - this multiple file structure is painful

Which item are you trying to download that's being annoying? Most books are there as both single PDFs and split into a PDF for each chapter. (Though some have multiple files in the single PDF item, for when there are things like maps.)

There absolutely should have been a warning via email for anyone not checking the forums regularly, and there should be an option given to pick a cheap bare-bones option. But that aside, I'm very happy to see that DHL option. It's much cheaper than the previous tracked UPS options (which were quite expensive for what you get).

Looking back at my previous orders, this new DHL option looks notably cheaper than UPS Mail Innovations International, so having tracking on top of that is a big plus. I'm seeing $43 USD in shipping if I ordered now with DHL, vs. the $53 USD that I actually paid for MII two months ago. (6 items: 4 books, a Flip-Mat, and a set of Battle Cards; to south-western Ontario)

Ideally, we should still be given the option to choose the shipping method that makes sense, especially for lower-value orders. But I personally found Mail Innovations International to be pretty bare-bones for the relatively high price that they charge.

There are also brokerage, duties, taxes, and tariffs, so depending on how those are handled with the DHL option, there could also be advantages. I've gotten a few hefty bills paid at the door in the past for some Paizo orders.

I'm very excited about the new store! Some of the tagging is a little lacking (searching for "plane" doesn't present Planar Adventures at all in the results), but being able to manage subscriptions is a big plus! I also *thought* that I had a Lost Omens subscription, but didn't see it listed in my subscriptions, so I "ordered" it again.

(Side note on that: I would love some new planar content beyond the elemental planes! Planar cosmology, travel between planes, denizens of outer plans, transitive planes, etc., I can't get enough!)

However, I don't remember those inside page previews on the old site. I'm buzzing with excitement for this month's Lost Omens release!

Can't wait to get this! Aside from the pre-Remaster core books and Bestiaries, Dark Archive is the only 2e rulebook that I haven't picked up yet (skipping some that have since been remastered)!

(I would however love to eventually replace Secrets of Magic and Book of the Dead with remasters or new books with some of the same content.)

Very exciting, I'm looking forward to see what's included and getting this!

Just ordered this (looks great, can't wait to run my friends though it) but I have a question:

Why is "Sidecart" the default assumption? and why isn't there a manual way to change that? why do we have to send a separate email to have it moved from sidecart to "Just send it right away"?

When you talk about a manual way to change that, do you mean during checkout, or afterwards once you've placed the order and it's in your sidecart?

If you mean the former, then you can change the shipping method to a specific method on the shipping page instead of just being with the next subscription order. If you mean the latter, yeah, it is a bit annoying to have to submit a ticket to manage your sidecart. That's something that I hope gets addressed with the upcoming store tech upgrades.

Having now gotten this product (but not having played, so I won't yet leave a review), I can agree with a lot of the points made before. I don't want to go in too hard on it, because most everything I'd say has already been said and acknowledged by Paizo (and I can understand that tariffs make things difficult), but still want to share my thoughts.

One of the biggest issues with this product is the mismatch between how it's marketed and what it is. Paizo is known for the quality of their (dry/wet/permanent-erasable) Flip-Mats. Getting a paper poster map (even if it does feel particularly high-quality for a poster) is then disappointing and feels misleading when it's advertised as a Flip-Mat.

While I do prefer pawns, I don't hate the tokens in a self-contained adventure. The 3/4" size for all creatures is definitely a bit small but it sounds like products designed in the future will have this addressed.

The handouts are pretty flimsy (I'm happy that I got this as a subscription, so I have the PDF and can reprint them on cardstock). Based purely on the description and (arbitrary) expectations, and ignoring the cost to manufacture and import, I'd have expected the handouts to feel like the item and NPC cards, and for those item/NPC cards to be like the tarot-style Monster Core Battle Cards.

The box *is* thinner (in dimensions, not cardboard thickness) than I had expected based on other comments and the product image, but that's not a bad thing shelf-space-wise (though it is still about 3/4 empty).

I don't want this to come across as just negativity, I've already had a read through the first chapter and I'm excited to play! But I do hope to see these issues fixed in future Deluxe Adventures after Dawn of the Frogs.

Tried downloading several times it says the file is empty nothing to extract

I've previously had similar issues with 0-size files, no matter how many times I tried the "Trouble Downloading" button. The next day I did the same again, and it worked fine.

Signed up for the Starfinder 2E Core Rulebook subscription back in mid-July, but this is still sitting in my sidecart. I reached out to CS 3 days ago, but still haven't gotten a reply. I'm fine waiting, but I'd appreciate a response.

I've also got a minor sidecart-related ticket open from a week ago (trying to get an item removed so that I can order it as part of starting a subscription). From a previous ticket, the CS Lead is out-of-office through tomorrow. I don't know how big Paizo's CS team is, but I'd assume that this is contributing to the delay in hearing back so I'm not too concerned yet.

Did something break in an update to the files for this item? It seems to have been last updated today but, when I try to download, it shows as being a 181 byte file in the My Downloads section of my account. When I download it, it has a size of 0.
