Hi Sara Marie and Cosmo.

When I took my copy of the Pathfinder Bestiary from my shelf yesterday, I noticed the covers were kind of bent inwards ("U-shaped"). Is this a known problem? I'm asking as I want to prevent this from happening to my copy of the Advanced Player's Guide and the Bestiary was just sitting next to some other hardcover books on my shelf.

Best regards,
Celeblas :)

Dear Customer Service.

I just tried to figure out how much my monthly shipping fee will increase if I add in "Serpent Kingdoms".

Unfortunately as soon as I klick on "Proceed to Checkout" in my sidecard I am taken to the final confirmation page with "Combine with the earliest possible subscription shipment." already checked.
By changing this option to "Ship as soon as possible via:" I am taken to the "Combine with Upcoming Subscription Shipment" page, but the eastimated shipping cost is not updated.

Maybe Gary wants to look into this problem, so I thought I'll let you now about it.

Best regards,
Celeblas :)

Dear Customer Service,

I just added the PFRPG Subscription. Please cancel this subscription AFTER the Bestiary has been shipped. As my shipment options are set on "hold for monthly shipment" I would appreciate it if you could combine the Bestiary with order 1270243.

I also have noticed that a combined order would be shipped in two packages. If possible (and it doesn't cause too much trouble) it would be great if you could ship the package containing the Bestiary now (charging the first part of the shipping cost ($23.62) and adding the PDF to my downloads) and send the second part as soon as all items in this order are available. If this is not possible I just request that the Bestiary and #1270243 are combined to save money on shipment.

Thank you in advance.
Yours Sincerly

Dear Alison and Cosmo.

As I have not received an answer to my email sent last Thursday I'll try it again via this message boards:

Dear Alison and Cosmo.

Unfortunately I have to inform you that the spine on my copy of Pathfinder 25 also broke (exactly the same problem I had with Pathfinder 24). Did you change something in the printing process or is it just my bad luck?

Anyways is it possible to receive a replacement copy of Pathfinder 25? If necessary I can provide you with a picture to prove the broken spine.

[...]

Thanks in advance.
Yours sincerly

Greetings Celeblas

Just a quick question:
Why isn't the Pathfinder Advantage applied to the Paper Minis products? Is this a glitch in the system or are the minis considered non-Paizo pdfs?

Hi there.

My campaign setting arrived today and somehow the cover image seems to be quite blurred and shows small artifacts as if the used image file was heavily compressed. Has anyone else noticed this?

The artework is still great but the image quality seems to be poor compared to other chronicles or adventure path products.

Hi.

I just added the Pathfinder Companion to my ongoing subscriptions (the free Second Darkness Companion was very convincing :)) and now my account shows

You have 1 item waiting to be shipped when Pathfinder #13—Second Darkness Chapter 1: "Shadow in the Sky" (OGL) Print Edition arrives at our warehouse:
• Pathfinder Companion: Second Darkness (OGL) Print Edition
Paizo Publishing, LLC 1 @ $9.99 $8.49
Subtotal (1 Item) $8.49
Shipping & Handling* $0.00
Order Total $13.52

Can you remove this item? As stated above I already got a free one and therefore do not need another copy of it.

Thanks in advance :)

So Pathfinder 3 and Carnival of Tears arrived today and sadly in a slightly damaged state. It's no big deal (only two corners of each product are bend) and I'm surprised that they are still in such a "good" shape when I look at the corners of the cardboard envelope.
Have you considered using an a little bit more durable kind of envelopes for international shipments?

To be fair: It's the first time the damage to the envelope was sever enough to slightly damage the items inside.

Ah and thank you for the Christmas card. The new Goblin song is fantastic. Just a pitty that the promotional code is no longer valid ;)

Finally I noticed that the Pathfinder Chronicles Subscription is available and there is just one thing stopping me from subscribing: Shipping Cost. As the items in this subscription will vary wildly (ranging from item cards to hardcover books) is there a fixed shipping cost?

I'm asking because I'm not willingly to pay almost as much for shipping as for the product in question. The shipping (to Germany) for the Treasure Chest for instance is insane and I fear that I will face similar problems with the Pathfinder Chronicles subscription.

Which leads to another question: Will Pathfinder Adventure Path subscribers receive a free PDF for products they purchase separately or do I have to subscribe to Chronicles to gain this benefit?

When browsing through the different product categories I noticed that some "Add to Cart" buttons seem smaller and read "Add to Car" (e.g. on this page). Probably nothing very important, but I thought you maybe wanted to know about this "problem".

After having a closer look at amazon.de I noticed that most of Paizo's products are still listed using a placeholder image. Well no big surprise given that we are talking about amazon. Far more annoying is the misspelling of Rise of the Runelords as Rise of the Ruinlords. Given the possibility to suggest corrections to product listings, I at least wanted to try doing this.

So I have one question: Amazon lists Wayne Reynolds as illustrator. That seems not quite right as he "only" is responsible for the (in my opinion great) cover art. So would it be sensible to remove the entry completely?

After I had a closer look into my print copy of Burnt Offerings I noticed that the sihedron runde is included in the background image in almost all parts except for the Foreword, Pathfinder Journal and the Bestiary. Is there a deeper intention behind this or why was the rune omitted from this parts?

My first guess was that the journal and the monsters are of general interest for Golarion whereas the other parts of Pathfinder #1 are adventure path specific content.

Playing with the idea of purchasing a Combat Pad and the Brunt Offerings Alternate Cover Version, I added some stuff to my cart:
Dungeons & Dragons—Savage Tide Player's Guide
GameMastery Combat Pad
GameMastery Flip-Mat
Pathfinder #1—Rise of the Runelords Chapter 1: "Burnt Offerings"—Alternate Cover (OGL)
Shipping cost: 6.86$.

As soon as I add the Combat Pad Extra Magnets the shipping cost goes from 6.81$ up to over 20$. Ok so I tried just adding the Combat Pad and the magnets but the shipping cost is raised from 6.86$ to over 14$. Are these magnets especially unwieldy or why else is the shipping cost skyrocketing when I add them to my shopping cart?

Oh and is there any way to get an alternate cover version of Burnt Offerings signed by the Paizo Staff ;)?

Hello.

I just checked my credit card bill and realized that I was charged $12.82 shipping and handling cost for orders #756229 and #729583, but both D0 and D1 arrived in the same package.
Are the $12.82 a mistake or did I miss something?

Oh and I received a bill with aforementioned orders, but none with W1. Was this an oversight or is this common for subscriptions?

And before I forget it: Thank you for the free Item Card booster and Paizo Summer Catalog included in the last shipment :).

I just got Dungeon 148 (my FLGS hat some problem getting the issue) and noticed in Prison Mail that there were plans of releasing a compiled Campaign Workbook. Is there still a chance we will see such a compilation?
I really would appreciate having the complete CWB in one place :).

Also are there any plans in realising a Monster Ecologies II? The first volume is great, but I was a little disappointed that you only had space to fit in 18 Monsters.

Celeblas :)

The final issue of Dragon magazine is coming closer (as sad as it is) and I'm wondering whether there will be a last Core Beliefs article in the final issue. I'd be escpeically interested in a more extended write up of Nerull ;).

So are there any more details of what will be included in the final issue? In some thread James stated that there will be a last special version of the Demonomicon. Is something similar planned for Core Beliefs?

After reading Hollows Last Hope and Crown of the Kobold King I noticed that there were no sidebars detailing how to scale the adventure for lower or higher level groups. I always considered these sidebars in Dungeon adventures quite useful. Will they be added in the following GameMastery modules? :)

Another thing that makes me curious: In the advertisement at the end of Hollows Last Hope it states that the GameMastery Modules are "written by fanatsy veterans like Wolfgang Baur, Richard Pett, Nicolas Logue, and Erik Mona". When can we expect a module written by Erik? Checking the upcoming modules I nowhere could find Erik named as an author.
I just ran my players through The Whispering Cairn and we all agreeed that it is a great adventure, so I'd like to see more adventures from you Erik :).

So I finally decided to subscribe to Pathfinder and the Gamemastery Module Line, but one thing I could not figure out: How long does a subscription run? Until I cancel it? Somehow I wasn't able to discover an expiriation date.

After I placed the order some strange things happened. I went to the My Account page and into order histrory. After klicking on one of the links there I saw an Internal Server Error page. I ignored it using the back buttons in Firefox and wanted to browse paizo.com. But in doing so I quite often got to an Internal Server Error page.
After loggin out and in again everything is working fine now. Maybe you wanted to know about this :).

First time entry...and mistakes were made. But this is how we learn, right? (I still can't believe I survived up until the final moment with a typo in it. My shame for that is endless.)

Books of One
Aura moderate evocation; CL 7th
Slot none; Price 12,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.
Description
This unassuming pair of dog-eared tomes appear to be perfect mirrors of one another, including a foreboding dark stain on the fifteenth page.
Any text penned within the pages of one of these books immediately appears on the corresponding page of the other, regardless of distance. Spells specifically targeting the written word, books, or parchment such as erase, illusory script, or secret page have their effects bilocated; the same spell existing on both pages of the pair. Such effects end immediately if they are no longer present in both books of one.
Due to their dual nature, holding one of the pair functions as a “possession or garment” physical connection for the purposes of scrying attempts to discern the owner of the other.

Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, sending Cost 6,000 gp

I don't know if anyone's seen this yet but this just went up:

Paizo Apologies to the Voters for the Delay.

I had no idea I could be disappointed by an item not incorporating a "Doom Anus/Multifunctional Sex Hole/Urethra" until I saw your item's name that had nothing to do with your item.

I am not proud. Because I like the item. I just....your name is a gross, gross tease.

Oh you beautiful joke item. As this is my 1st RPGSS, I didn't now I was ALLOWED to love you until you survived a few of the Culls. Marry me, Joke item. Our kids will be beautiful.

I can't be the only one planning on using the vote button as a Random Treasure Generator, can I?

I have a one-shot Friday and I am just enough of a sadist/masochist that this feels like a good idea. I know that can't be right. But the heart wants what the heart wants.

I have no idea if this is the right place for this because I'm super green to these forums but so be it.
I've read enough jokes about Bad Item Bingo (or "Frequently Over-Submitted Bingo?) and while I'm sure it exists somewhere already & you forum regulars have an app going right now, I went ahead and doodled a bit this morning. For kicks. I needed a warm-up. Don't judge me.

"who thinks the snark thread may be the best thing he's seen in a while"

You made a stealth item that glows in the dark.

Tolkien would approve.

There are better ways to tell your wife what you want her to wear on Sexy Sunday than making an item for RPGSS.
It also doesn't help that this item is for men & women but well, not according to the author. Who has...opinions.

As a neonate of this contest, I positively love this thread. I thought having your creative baby stabbed a few times by the peanut gallery was part of the fun of being a freelancer.
