For those of you who subscribe to the card-game, how is Paizo with shipping? Do they get stuff to you undamaged or are your boxes bashed in? I am thinking of subscribing to the Wrath of the Righteous AP. But I'll pass if stuff regularly gets damaged. Coolstuff for example always gets stuff to me in pristine shape. I like how you will get promos and a 20% discount on accessories. So maybe that would apply to the minis that got announced today? I know it applies to the Ultra Pro sleeves/boxes and the playmats.
After reading through all the info on all the current RPG APs, Wrath of the Righteous is by far the coolest looking of them all. Very Diabloish!!! I really hope this AP gets the full accessory treatment! I want themed Ultra Pro sleeves & AP storage box! I want themed playmats! Reaper (metal/Bones) minis for all the AP characters (core/add-on deck) would be nice as well! I don't see any custom dice for this AP. Are those in the works?

Good answer! Good answer! Diablo is my all-time fave video-game RPG series! In fact I am making another run through Reaper of Souls in a few minutes! Btw Mike, I absolutely love Diablo II: The Awakening for AD&D 2nd Edition that you worked on back in the day. It was really the only good D&D Diablo book and I love all the random loot tables and how it pretty much completes the entire Diablo1 game to RPG format!
Arikiel wrote: My vote would be for Shattered Star as it ties in nicely with RotRL. It would definitely help in creating custom campaigns to have thematically linked APs set in Varisia. This is probably the best guess. I have a feeling all the ones I chose, would only be possible in the off-slots...the non-mainstream fantasy slots. Shattered Star looks pretty cool though.
Be selective about the APs you buy! Problem solved! You don't need every AP.
Like the RPG, there is going to be far too much content for you to buy, let alone play. So now that you are free from that mindset, buy only those APs that interest you. For me, Jade Regent is the AP that will get me to go all-in for an AP. I would subscribe to get the promos, buy the player-mats, get the official sleeves and storage box for that AP, promo poster, character add-on deck. The fact that each AP is self-contained makes this work really well. It gives people jumping-on/jumping-off points that other games do not have!
I know they will reveal the 3rd Adventure Path at Paizo Con, but has there been any hints as to what it will or will not be? My picks would be... Jade Regent is #1 on my list. We need Samurai/Ninja in the game!

Mike/Vic, how about converting the 160-page hardcover megadungeon, The Emerald Spire into Pathfinder Adventure Card game? It would be sweet to have a total dungeon-crawling edition of the game. It is a official Pathfinder adventure after all! http://paizo.com/products/btpy8yqx?Pathfinder-Module-The-Emerald-Spire-Supe rdungeon
How many of the sets/packs are now available as 2nd(US) printings? Will Runeloards stay in print for at least a few years? I realize that eventually you will not be able to keep all APs of the card game in print as it would be too much product. Lastly, does the US(reprint) of the core set have the new more consistent(font) dice?

Where are the files located? I checked my account on www.froggodgames.org, checked my downloads and nothing after 1-4 is there.I also checked the old login pre-new-website and they are not there. I should not have to go to Paizo boards to find out about this stuff!

Where did you download it from?And were you emailed that it is available? I have subscriptions to both but have had no notifications and I just logged into the www.froggodgames.org and don't see anything new in my downloads section.
Heine Stick wrote: With the exception of the Razor Coast books (Heart of the Razor and the Freebooter's Guide both have the issue with the cover warping as Fire as She Bears and the cover of Razor Coast itself seems a bit flimsy), I agree that Frog God Games books are of excellent quality. Certainly the binding seems to be sturdy and has held up quite nicely so far for me. This is probably because Razor Coast (and maybe the other books from its kickstarter) were printed in China. All the other Frog God Games hardcovers have sewn binding and are printed in the US at a textbook publishing company.
I got nearly all mine today, Skeeter Green is looking into the other files that are missing. In my case I think I confused Chris with my original request because he had no records of my purchases because they were all directly through Kickstarter or direct via paypal to Krista/Bill yet he probably saw records of me buying Rappan Athuk swag through the old site but not any of the books that way. So I gave Skeeter an exact list of what I should have and where I purchased them and forwarded him one of my password emails. I'd hang onto those until you get everything centralized under your new account. They will work with you to get your files centralized on the new site. It might take a few days/weeks/emails but they want to make it work well for us. I'm glad they are willing to go through the pains of doing this for each of us as like I mentioned, it's not really cut&dry exactly what everybody has because of all the ways they let us purchase stuff over the years.

So enticing that frankly I would be forced to quadruple my pledge! I would not even think twice! *greedy frog smile The thing is, if you did something like this you are going to be writing up 100 encounters because of the money rolling in. Are you really prepared to write that many encounters? And this would only be worth it for you if you have recovered your initial investment on said books. But selling your books at a discount is a better add-on than say printing up character sheets, posters or dice which might cause delays cost you a bunch of money and you may end up sitting on vast piles of it and after subtracting the printing costs...may not really add to the cash pile for this kickstarter.
I'm expecting Bill to fly over the Paizo boards with his Frog-1 Bomber and drop the bombs soon. I see he posted this here on the 22nd of last month, that is two days before he even announced on his blog and his newsletter. His newsletter usually comes out between 20th-25th of each month. Prepare to be blown away!!!
I think pdf & drivethrough RPG print-on demand 60-card deck is the way to go. Lets say I wait a year or six months to buy this replacement deck, will it have all errata rolled into it? I'd rather wait to see if as expansions come out more cards get added to the list. Like will you keep adding to the virtual deck at DriveThrough RPG? Then I can buy that just once if I feel I need it.
I'm sure Paizo will recommend to Reaper to convert the remaining Iconics to Bones in Kickstarter #2. And probably a few other iconics for Adventure Path #2. They already have 3 new iconics not in the card game available in Bones. I'll probably go the Bones route myself unless Paizo puts together some new pre-painted boxset.

Thanks for confirming a boxed set of the 11 Iconics with new sculpts for Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Players! ;)
DrSnooze wrote: As hinted at above, I think this is a missed opportunity to sell a bunch of minis. If you had a set of all 11 iconic prepainted minis, I'd buy them in a heartbeat so we could use them for this game. I agree with this. A prepainted box of all 11 would be nice! I know you can get the 4 from the beginner box in a pack, and some of the others as singles. You can get 8 of them as unpainted white plastic Bones from Reaper. You can get all 11 in metal from Reaper. But a pre-painted set of all 11 would be really nice Paizo!
