I am reading this as there will be an early and late July shipment. So my guess would be we see May go out next week and then June go out about a week earlier next month. Then you have a shipment that goes out the end of June for delivery in early July and one that goes out the end of July.

As I have a wife who has expectations of said agreement I went into with her, I am sure that that this will be the deal breaker with her.

Here's a suggestion: Make a July shipment with all but the Serpent's Skull book. Then in August, ship it out then. If it's because you are wanting to debut it at GenCon, offer a deal that you can pick up your copy at GenCon or wait for it to ship in August. For those not going to GenCon, they get the item shipped normally during August.

This way you can still unveil your new product at GenCon and have choices for the people who are on the subscription as well.

So, I would say that if this can't be fixed by June, I'll have to cancel my subscription. I know it may not be a lot of money per month compared to others, but we have a budget in my house that I can't afford to break. The economic and spousal repercussions are just to great to ignore.

*edited to add the last paragraph instead of adding another post.*

I've just noticed that the subscription schedule for June and July got somewhat less crazy.

Mine didn't. As a matter of fact, I think it broke your system. So I set up my subscriptions on the Hold for Monthly Shipment option. It states:

Hold for monthly shipment

Ship my subscription products once a month, so I'll pay only one shipping charge.

So here's what is copy/pasted from my page:

Quote:

July 2010

1x Pathfinder Adventure Path #35: War of the River Kings (Kingmaker 5 of 6) (PFRPG)
$19.99 Standard Postal Delivery: $5.27 $25.26
July 2010
1x Pathfinder Companion: Orcs of Golarion (PFRPG)
1x Pathfinder Adventure Path #36: Sound of a Thousand Screams (Kingmaker 6 of 6) (PFRPG)
1x Pathfinder Adventure Path #37: Souls for the Smuggler's Shiv (The Serpent's Skull 1 of 6) (PFRPG)
$50.97 Standard Postal Delivery: $5.82 $56.79

So it appears if I'm getting two shipments of the same materials that was bundled together as one shipment a few days ago. So, umm, I guess I should say thanks?

There's a chat room? Man! Now my plan to do nothing at work is about to succeed!

I was able to convince my wife to allow me to subscribe to the Adventure Path product and the Companion set based on the idea that it looked like one product a month from each was going to be released.

So today I log in to check my subscriptions and I notice in July that there's 4 coming out that month. The final two adventure paths for Kingmaker and then the first of the next adventure path along with the companion.

It surprised me only because I had told my wife to expect about 35-40 a month on these and that month it'll be almost double that. So my question here is: is that normal to see that many books put out on the subscription in a month or is this just a unique situation?


I stopped into the Apple Store last week to check into the problem and they confirmed that it is the iPhone OS' rendering engine that is causing the issue but they have no idea of when it would be fixed.

The test they did was to have me e-mail the pdf to myself. Then when it opened, the iPad uses its rendering engine to view the document. It did the exact same issues.

I returned the iPad. Until they get that problem resolved, I do not wish to spend my money on the product.

It actually has to do with the reader as there are a number of threads about viewing problems especially on Apple things.

Oh poop. Well here's to hoping that a better app comes out for it.


So I just got an iPad this week and I invested in an app called GoodReader. It has no problems viewing our company's product literature in PDF, but there are little errors when I view the Pathfinder PDFs that I have purchased. I can direct you to the Advanced Player's Guide as a good example. The normal text will come in fine, but when you look at the title , "The Alchemist" the A is missing. It is pretty consistent across the other PDFs I have of yours as well.

So my question is, any ideas? Any of you out there in Paizo land have an iPad and are seeing this too or maybe you have a different pdf reader app to suggest that works better?

If this doesn't fall within this topic area, feel free to move it and I apologize ahead of time.

Thanks.
