They did?

That's news to me. Got a link?

Sure, here you go

Welcome back Maya! We missed you!

Its almost as though certain things in the world impact shipping costs that much bigger companies can eat and smaller companies can't.

If Paizo were really customer-focused, it seems to me they would occasionally gather some input on how things turned out when their customers played the APs and incorporate some of that into the lore.

Running surveys is expensive and unreliable, far simpler to anticipate and respond to market signals.

I wasn't suggesting a "survey."

If Paizo just created a specific email address and asked for folks to send them some interesting stories about an event in an AP, I'm sure they would get much more useful information than they might get from a card with a few check-boxes or a blank line or two with enough room for only one or two 14 word sentences on it.

How exactly is this any different from looking at the forums?

They look at the forums on a regular basis to gather info on what the player base is thinking. Several staff are also active on Reddit looking at that as well.

It is mentioned as a known issue here

Yeah that can happen when you're doing a sale meant to clear out physical copies

They were asking about Player's Guides, not sanctioning documents

Nobody is going to die because books are a little delayed my guy

There is a red banner alert on the Manage Subscription page now.

Yup I see it now, good. That still should have been there hours ago, IMO.

You understand that Paizo is predominantly in the Pacific time zone right? A few hours ago most people that work there were still asleep.

I tested my payment info on a Society scenario and it worked just fine.

It'd be nice to have a single month where we did not have issues on subscriber day.

Hi all,

So I have been gaming my entire life. Over 40 years. Here's some initial feedback since I started my PF2 Kingmaker campaign a few months ago:

First of all, why did you use the same version number for Pathfinder 2 and Remaster? Version numbers are meant to allow you to distinguish between changes such as this. It is very annoying as a new person to have to realize that SOME books are remastered and others are not. Pathfinder 2.5? Why not? I can only assume you didn't because you had already invested in "branding"?

I also paid $49.99 for the Kingmaker adventure path PDF (and $100 for the hardcover) which not only is not remastered, but still has references to Bestiary 6 from the Pathfinder 1 ruleset? In particular I mean things like "elite" monsters which are now on page 6 of the new bestiary but in Kingmaker you have it listed as Bestiary 6? Bestiary 1 came out in 2019?! You don't think you should update the references in the PDFs you charge $50 for?

Kingmaker makes a LOT of references to things that have been changed in remaster. I could live with it if I didn't spend $150 on it. $50 for the PDF, and $100 for the hardcover, and it's not even up to date? Shame! Pathfinder 2 remaster came out in 2023...that was 3 years ago. What's up?

So in short: the game is good, but to a new player, the erratic nature of your ruleset makes it look confusing and of poor quality.

OTOH your support of Archives of Nethys is fantastic and it is an essential resource. Thanks for that site! It is one of the best gaming resources I have ever seen.

The Bestiary thing is not referring to Bestiary 6 the book, it's referring to page six of the first PF2 Bestiary which is where the template is found.

Yeah, I think it's been pretty clear that this is just *one* of the major conflicts finally coming to a head. I would not be surprised if next year we get some big Nex and Geb stuff with Impossible Magic tie-ins

Starships are a huge part of Starfinder, so yes, Starships are core. What the heck?

So why is this for PDFs? These were already even more expensive for me as an australian but now?

Gods, not to mention the fact that you locked two whole core Starfinder classes behind another splat book, this price hike really is just making me wanna start looking elsewhere.
Can we get a clear reason beyond corpo buzzwords as to why the digital products are getting this increase? Or should we just assume greedy execs doing their usual "we want all the moneys" bs?
Like, this sucks. Why you have you got to make this even more expensive hobby to do?

Tech Core isn't a splat book though, it's literally part of the Core line, just like the name says. Just like Pathfinder has two Player Cores.

Fastest healing Maya! May Desna smile upon you!

Thank you! Ask Desna to tell my dog to attempt to lay on top of me less, please.

Sadly Desna did not get the domain of beasts when Lamashtu killed her mentor Curchanus. (Yeah deep Paizo lore joke, what of it)

Fastest healing Maya! May Desna smile upon you!

Considering the novel is available as an audiobook on Audible already I think that's probably pretty good confirmation. IIRC the audiobooks are exclusive to Audible right now.

Amazon is impacted by the Diamond Comics bankruptcy and does not get current Paizo books because of that. Your best bet is to buy it from Paizo directly.

They have confirmed there will be an audiobook. Also that the book had a free pdf for subscribers.

Metamorphic said in the release notes for Monster Core 2 token pack, that that was the start of 5 consecutive weekly releases. Last week we got Invasion's Edge. Next week is confirmed to be Guilt of the Graveworld. Wednesday's is likely Hellbreakers, with two weeks from now being Draconic Codex token pack.

Yes, the store has a different account than the forums. You should use the same email and can use the same password though.

Its hard to just not mention something that was a huge part of the Darklands setting without just abandoning the whole thing.

I firmly believe that he slipped in the bathtub, yes.

Note that this product was not discussed at all in yesterday's stream. It will likely be in tomorrow's.

I think the flag for wrong forum is because Dead God's Hand is an adventure not an adventure path?

I'm curious as to why this one is named Cheliax and not Old Cheliax

Saga Lands, Broken Lands, Golden Road, and Eye of Dread

Majuba (and a lot of us) are upset about the loss of all the discussion posts that were attached to product pages or blog posts in the past. There was a lot of good info there that can no longer really be seen.

I love that *the* Dave Gross uses other authors work to add to his home game. That just makes me happy.

Yup mine will be at their destination on Monday.

The Operation: Hellmouth PDF is now in my Library!

The sub copy definitely got missed just like Hellbreakers did this month then, I'd already emailed CS, so now I will just wait.

They said its four a year, but the way they'll be spaced out may be different depending on the needs of the year. The only safe assumption is probably always one at Gencon.

But to answer the other question, Hellbreakers has not had one published yet. Likely this week, maybe next.

They are there, the links are hard to see, but they're in the paragraph of text.
For example

Enter the Megadungeon!

Evil stirs in the depths of the Abomination Vaults, a sprawling dungeon where the evil sorcerer Belcorra Haruvex attempted to raise an army of monsters hundreds of years ago. Brave heroes must venture into a dungeon full of beasts and traps to prevent a spiteful villain from rising again.

Prepare for adventure by downloading the free Abomination Vaults Player's Guide and Pathfinder Society Organized Play sanctioning documents.

There is a thread about this in Announcements. They are investigating.

Is there a free subscriber pdf/epub for Operation: Hellmouth too?

I have now created one full idiot daredevil for next week's PFS game. Can't wait to see what stupidity he can get into.

Also plus one to the PDF is in my library for this month's map, but not for Hellbreakers or Operation Hellmouth

Actually that announcement has me wondering: did y'all plan for this to coincide with the 40th Anniversary of Castlevania?

We're finally going to Bastardhall, and in the same year we're finally getting a new Castlevania game? Pinch me I'm dreaming.

Paizo Live has been an important information source for many years now. Its generally the first Friday of every month (though some months is is the second Friday due to vacations and other things, this month's is tomorrow.)

One question: Since it sounds like the adventure is going to be very much a "you get stuck in this location" is there going to be guidance on how to address backup characters if a PC doesn't make it?

Oh I agree, my brain is just swimming with all the research I did to prep my own Bastardhall work, so it just sits back there and percolates while I wait for July. the August subscriber day will be either 5 days before or 2 days after my birthday, and I can't ask for a better gift than Bastardhall

There's honestly very little published at the moment. Most information about Bastardhall is in the 1E Campaign Setting book Rule of Fear with a teeeeeeensy bit in Inner Sea Magic, Dungeons of Golarion, The Dungeoneer's Handbook, and Book of the Dead

Just wondering if the Paizo novels subscription will be like the old Tales subscription and offer an ePub/PDF for subscribers? I'm really itching to read the new novel and would love to jump in on Subscriber Day next week!

I think almost everything from the wiki actually comes from Rule of Fear, except for the one from Inner Sea Magic. I know the burning down of the castle is on page 56 of Rule of Fear.
