Welp, either way, looks like "waiting for the July releases" led me to wait too long, and ill be picking it up the hard way at Gencon. Have we heard if they will be doing a "one copy per person" rule? I have two buddies that aren't going to Gencon that would like me to pick up a copy for them.
Being that my party took the entire Scorched Hand party alive (they got knocked out, not killed) and their high numbers most nights (6) I am going to drop the reverent... and show them one of my personal favorite creatures, on steroids. A Black Skeletal Champion! So far I have been running them as extra body's but not upping the exp. Mostly this is because there are a lot of new players, and from previous AP's I find the need to keep the power level down just a little from what is given.
First of all, as I have said in other threads.. I had a blast! My first con outside of the town I am living in when some occur (hardly counts) and I hope I can make it next year. 1. As I told him at the table.. Owens game of Emerald Spire should be expanded to multiple tables, and several repeat GMs. It was a fantastic run to play in Lisa's Goblin infested first level.. and be run through it by a newly minted Paizo Dev! (And great GM).. it was highly effective as a marketing tactic as well. I bought the hardback as well as the maps and it was not on my "to buy list" by a long shot. 2. I would love to see more 3pp games/content. I understand that PFS is a big deal.. and that's awesome. As a graduate with a business degree, I totally understand how you want to support that.. but perhaps we could see some modules being run over the course of the weekend, or even just basic one shot runs in fun scenarios. Basically.. more things for the players that don't crowd into the PFS room would be great.. I was at the table of Rappan Athuk with Skeeter.. and that was a blast! But I wish there could have been more options like that. 3. I had hoped to pick up the misc bases pack for my wrath minis.. but alas its one of the things that was not packed along with everything else. Not a major thing, but a point. Along with that.. I loved seeing so much variety in the store room, but with the new hotel will there be space for vendors as well? 4. I know that GMs are asked how big of a block they would want to run.. but if its at all possible, it would be fantastic to see the day blocked out similar to how PFS does it.. say in 2 hour blocks. Thus, a GM could ask for one, two, or three blocks.. and signing up for that event wouldn't blow an attendees entire day if there where blocks at both ends of the event. 5. Some sort of counter balance for events that have not been given a very good time window. A friend and I went to the Create Your Own Character Adventure with Necromancers of the NW. A great experience, and interesting. But we done far, far short of the estimated time.. as was about 90% of the group.. despite learning a new system and getting to play with it. 6. Last but not least.. whats the plan for the extra day?

The other alternate to that, would be to allow those who have prepurchased tickets (most of us) to print a badge/tickets.. and then pick up swag bag/etc in between sessions as the weekend goes on.

I am looking for someone local first, to share in gas etc.. but its possible other agreements could be reached. Suppose I should have updated this, but I have filled my extra spots.

Yep! Your game. I'm in the first group to see how far we can get. Pregens. Aye. Interesting that we will not be able to level up at all by the sounds of it..

Looking to trade the Battle Royal for Freeport, but so far no takers. Part of me is tempted to drop it and use that time to explore the floor.
Question on contacts with lottery events.. If I have questions about character creation for the Rappan Athuk bonus level, where should I turn?
I am specifically wondering about casters/item creation feats, and the wording of the item creation rules. IE, Pathfinder using exp cost to create magic items?
the Haunted Jester wrote: When do we find out which events we may have entered into through the lottery? This was my question as well. I noticed that there is no clear indication that it is actually Wed afternoon. That fact is not posted somewhere obvious.. Perhaps it could go on the schedule page, in place of the schedule not being available yet?
So, got an email from one of your other carebears.. I think I may have a clue to what is up. Order 2611999 is still listed as an option to ship with.. but it is unlikely that order will ever be fulfilled. Went to add the Wayne Reynolds poster from Dragon to the preorder shipment (not even sure if that is doable?) and was given 3 primary options, ship with subs, ship on its own, or with order 2611999. Can we remove 2611999 from this que?
Again, I went to pre-order the Wrath of the Righteous pawn set.. only to again not have the option of shipping as soon as it becomes available. This was not a problem for me before the checkout UI changed.. Frankly I wish I could have just included it in the shipment of the 6th book, but thats a timing thing rather than a malfunction. Heck I might even make another preorder or two if I can get this to work correctly. Is there something I am missing here?
Thats a pretty serious ouch considering I had intended to use the card on the post holiday sale. Those 5 days basically kill that plan. This is a one time use gift card.. and I have not ever been asked to supply an address for it to the issuing bank.. It sounds to me like I basically can't use the card with Paizo even after the reversal happens.
Greetings all, I have a pre-paid card with an exact balance of $50 on it from xmas. I would like to be using the entire thing on an order and use my holiday promo code I got in the mail along with it. Unfortunately I cannot purchase a Paizo card as it will decline as the balance is over $50 after tax. This is the same thing that happened when I tried to use it for the order itself. I am perfectly willing to pay the difference, but outside of this gift card it is unlikely that the promo code will get used. :( The simple solution would be to enter two payment methods.. but a simple search tells me that's not something you guys are able to do at this time. Thoughts/Ideas? Edit: Thought I got this post up, but apparently never hit submit.
I was temped to start a new thread but this may get a better response. I was tempted to do my first cosplay at Paizocon, however I have decided to fogo this and perhaps do it next time around.. mostly a cost issue. I would rather put the money into vendors and goodies etc. So here is my question, about how many that attend are 'in character'?

I have not made a fuss about my order from June that hasn't shipped due to back order (2611999), because I know that it is not the fault of Paizo staff but rather limited supply of the item. It helps to know whats going on with a company you purchase from regularly. A) I see this is one of several such posts you have made in different threads, do you have a thread of your own with customer service?
Apologizes if this post is out of line, but I mean all if it with all due respect.

This struck a pretty great cord with me. Several in my group are very excited to start GMing. (We have 8 people that play in 3 different games at the moment.) The Golem sale saw the group pick up the books to run not one but *three* adventure paths that we will surely run sooner rather than later. That said, I would imagine this 'teaching AP' as a natural extension/combination of the AP concept and the Beginner Box concept. A Beginner Box Adventure Path if you will. A classic adventure to the hilt, with a fair bit of tips and tricks for GMs and players scattered through the entire thing. A product to bridge the gap between beginner player and a GM that buys adventure paths by the 30lb box like my group just did. Regards,

Besides, there's a certain joy to running games. It brings out your creative side. I realize this is entirely off topic, but I want to address this first. In general, people who GM have different styles and most do not actively set out to "screw" the party. That said I have encountered one GM who sees it as his duty to run a "GM vs the Party" sort of event. It sounds like that is the sort of GM you have encountered. If you lived in my town I would recommend you seek out a new group, or clarify with these GMs how you felt about what happened. Feel free to PM me if this is something you want to talk about in detail. As to the topic. My players are about halfway through Sword of Valor (book 2) and have used the scales a grand total of twice. Both times they had to think about it quite a bit. They have also not once used the Shards. I am tempted to jack up the scales, but most of my group are quite powerful for their level so they hardly need more ways to smash through encounters. As it is, the mythic fights look to be the only times where a PC is truly in danger.
Azaelas Fayth wrote: Anyone else planning to use this as a sort off quick NPC Building Guide? Nope, thats what I have NPC Codex for. I am already the group librarian, default GM, and 3pp collector. With the group all together we have multiple copies of every Paizo hardback, several different softcover books, and multiple 3pp books in hardback and softback. Myself and another in all three games I play/run are encouraging every player we know to pick this up so that we do not have to give them every answer to every question every time. Personally I will pick it up to see what the designers recommend, and see what I have missed that others have come up with. Looking forward to it!
So, this is new to me and I am not really sure what my viable courses of action are. I received my AP sub order with Sword of Valor, and we started running it last night. (My players love the campaign thus far and the mythic rules are going interestingly.) Here is my issue, on the first night of running this adventure.. almost literally the first time I opened the book, pages began to fall out. I understand that this happens over time as the binding gives out, but this was tragic. I of course still ran the adventure, but now there are 6-8 pages that have completely fallen out of the book. Not sure what to do here.. or even if there is anything that can be done..
