Dear Paizo Grand PooBahs, I love you. I really do. However I must make my displeasure known. It vexes me that Paizo's shopping cart still cannot process a preorder item and an in stock item in the same order. This problem is persistent and needs to be fixed. I have also been waiting about 2 weeks for a reply to an e-mail. You have explained that you have a backlog and convention season and yadda yadda. You have all been in this business too long to continue to make these excuses for service failures. You know when convention season is every year. You have an entire year to prepare for it. You have a responsibility to do better. Perhaps you should launch a Kickstarter campaign to raise the resources you need. Good day.
Thank you Keith. It looks like that sorted it!
Hello, Can I change my Pathfinder Comics subscription from Deluxe Ongoing to just Ongoing? When there was only one series, the multiple covers was kind of cool but automatically receiving (and being billed for) multiple copies of multiple issues of different titles is way to expensive and way too many books. Thank you, Jared
I poked your miniature into being properly priced. Theres a small chance that when it gets moved from your sidecart to your active subscription order for September it might jump back to its previous price. If such an event occurs let me know and I should be able to fix it. Thanks! Thank you Erik!
Hi Sara Marie, I'll keep the PDF purchase, I'll take store credit for the difference. Thank you!
Maybe you could talk to the guys over at 0one Games...they make more advanced used of layers in their maps than any other products I've ever seen. At the very least, they would be able to tell you what software you would need, exactly. There is something wrong with the world when a talented person like you is out of work.
Ditto! This product line is more than just reprinting old stories, it's a public service. it is a shame that more people have not recognized this. edit: Thank you Erik
I pre-ordered, but I didn't get the email asking for my vote. Hotmail /shrug. I do want the finished product, not a refund. Leadung a project with freelancers must be like herding cats.
Oh! I hope they will turn it into a telenovelo like on Telemundo! Los Paizonos! Hai de Me! Hyrum no esta aqui! (sorry) hehe
Oh crap! I feel your pain sir. I have had kidney stones too. get well soon.
Yes but the ancient world is closer in functioning to the modern world than most of the middle ages. There is a reason Europe after the fall of Rome is called the Dark Ages. True, we lost some beautiful, elegent advances during the dark ages, that we have never completely recovered. Our technology has been able to make things easier, but not always better.
With the whole technologies arguement, and the amalgamation of golarion! I have to refer to one of the altime favorite DnD settings forgotten realms..... Egypt, Mesopotamia, Vikings, United England, Fractured England, as well as a few other examples. Or how about Mystara, or Hollow world all a mix of time periods and cultures. So I don't see the validity of this arguement when its already been done before. I mean sorry to burst your reality bubble but wow, am i the only one who sees this? I think you're right Critz. There have been anachronistic mish mashes in D&D since the beginning. In Dave Arneson's Blackmoor, the legendary dungeon under Castle Blackmoor had a turnstile and charged an entry fee. It was all in fun, but not "true to any time period" if there is such a thing. I do think that the game has modernized somewhat by moving away from the idea that all monsters are just things to kill. The idea that the goblins have personalities and goals are there if you want to use them. I guess, really it depends on the gaming group, and the GM. My former DM did not like fire arms in his main FR campaign, but when he ran SpellJammer it made more sense, so he rolled with it.
A lot of what you have revealed here Clark has confirmed what many of us had been speculating about for some time. When WOTC started ending or at least changing relationships with third party producers, their management thought they were reeling back in their control of the property, a classic business reorganization strategy of moving to a vertical "value chain". The corporate management team could not or would not see that it was too late for that. The "D&D" value chain was pretty much permanently spread out into a sort of far reaching network. They had Paizo, Green Ronin, Necromancer, Kenzerco, Goodman Games, etc., as part of the value chain. The greatest benefit of the OGL was good will. Good will with the consumer and with other stake holders like third party publishers is an intangible asset. It is hard to build up, hard to define, and difficult to replace once lost. The third party publishers were allies to WOTC, but they could not see that, and turned them into competitors. They wanted to consolidate the market, and instead they fractured it. The network value chain that they built is gone and broken up into smaller mini value chains and the now growing Paizo/Pathfinder chain. The OGL philosphy seems to be along the lines of "a rising tide raises all boats" very much a free market concept. The GSL seems more of a protectionist "make sure ours is the only boat afloat" way of thinking.
Police ourselves? Have higher standards for what is WORTHY of a post? Well you've solicited more than a one word post and you are going to get one. In my opinion it is terribly arrogant and heavy handed of you to try to impose some personal standard of what you consider to be a worthy post on the other people who post here. If I or anyone else wish to make a one word post expressing our excitement and anticipation for an upcoming product, as long as we are not violating Paizo's forum rules, we should feel free to do so. A simple, short post in support of a new product contributes more to the conversation than a lengthier post that complains about short posts and makes NO MENTION of the product at all. A forum is a place for everyone to express themselves. Some do it by posting treatises, some by posting one word. They all have value to some one, even if only to the poster, and even if they have no value to you.
