Note: The perks page doesn't seem to have been updated with these pins, as mentionned in the description.

Yup; as I said in the Monthly Update blog, the update's in the pipeline and should be rolled out soon!

Sorry to bug ya Alex, but it has been over a month and still no discount...

Having the same problem, the Paizo Advantage is not being applied. It should since they are not PDFs.

I was very happy we got rid of fractions, I am sad they got added back...

You mean the single page version, Jared? Or something else I'm missing (as usual)?

That along with the ability to download any page, including the single page version, as a PDF.

Well actually what I wanted was a "Professionally Edited" PDF, this one looks like...

That said more useful for search function now.

In our monthly update blog, we will share information on how to convert any remaining unspent Fame to Starfinder Achievement Points.

Does this mean what it looks like it means? I have hardly spent any fame across my characters, so will this be somewhat of a "retroactive" AcP gain?

My hope is that yes, we will be able to set up a system to convert unspent Fame to AcP. I will not promise my life on it, as we have not done any planning beyond "yeah, that would be neat," so it's also possible that in November we will say "okay here's your deadline to spend your Fame, clock is ticking before it evaporates like Pathfinder's did."

Well this, if you can get it to work, fixes my arguments I was going to throw all over this blog... You Suck!!!! ;)

I've just checked my subscription order for March and it shows a $37.80 shipping & handling fee for just the Bestiary 3 and Abomination Vaults #3 with the "cheapest method" option selected.

Is this really the current standard fee for sending books from the USA to Europe (Belgium in my case) or are you still working on the issues about shipping costs and there is a chance that those numbers might be wrong?

I really want to support Paizo (and I have been trying to do so for the last 11 years) but those fees (shipping fees + import taxes) are really making it hard, sadly turning subscriptions into a very poor option all things considered.

Hi Dalvyn,

We haven't started shipping out subscriptions yet due to some shipping errors (specifically, erroneously high shipping charges, like you've mentioned). We're actively working on addressing this and I'll let you know as soon as I have an update!

Raychael, When you have time can you take a look at my shipment. It went out but in 4 Packages, and confused about Package 2 and 3 since they are single items shipping by themselves. Unsure how that was cheaper then it going either together with each other or with Package 4.

So I never asked for a refund for last years PaizoCon. Can I still hold off on that and hold them until you have a physical con again? Or should I request a refund?

Yes, they are the manufacturers of the minis but I work at Paizo, so I don't have access to their production schedules. So I don't know.

Oh that was you answering that questions, not Archon... We thought those were answers from Archon.

Jeff the last 2 waves had allowed Kickstarter supporters a method to order their exclusive mini and get the rest for free. Is there a method again this time for Kickstarter supporters to get some of the minis for free?

Has there been any news on a subscription for these?

Thanks, got the email.

So my credit card failed on my January Subscription order due to wrong expiration date. I updated it and the order still has not gone through. Can we please push the order through?

We're bringing the commoner back! I'm so excited!

Not seen that in awhile...

Try this as well. Select the Secure Icon and Site settings.

Clear data under cookies and Reset permissions.

Was getting the error on Chrome today, had to delete all the cookies for the site and reload the page and it worked fine after that.

I have tried several times. Everytime I refresh my points, I only have AcP. When I try to assign a Scenario Boon to any of my characters that respective scenario is applied to it keeps telling me that I don't qualify for any of the boons other than the AcP list. How can I get that corrected.

First thing you need to make sure is the the game has actually been reported for that character, if that is the case then send an email to the email mentioned. If the games have not been correctly reported then contact the person responsible for reporting the games.

Aaron They reduced the price of the Roll20 Beginner Box, but they only reduced it by $11.99.

Shouldn't it be reduced by $14.99?

Edit: Been notified there are multiple examples of Roll20 products not be discounted by the PDF price. So not sure how they figure out what the discount will be.

To my understanding it *should* be reduced by $14.99. I will ask that our Director of Licensing discuss this with them, but I have no quick path to a resolution.

Like I mentioned there are multiple products not being discounted by the PDF price, to include all the APs it seems.

And then unapproved after it became a problem.

Which personally I was always fine with. But that comes down on how I build my PCs most likely.

The given reason they stopped sanctioning prior to release, were complaints that subscribers 'Unfairly' got access first, which IMO was not a very good reason.

I still remember the early days, when stuff was approved for OP play before it was even released!

If PFS tables are parasites on the host FLGS, it's not surprising that the proprietors shunt people away from Pathfinder. If PFS players are selfish and create elitist structures to disproportionately reward those on the inside, it's not surprising that Society gets a bad rep. I think Org Play, whether we want it or not, and whether Paizo likes it or not, are often on the front lines.

And the Frontlines is exactly what the VOs are for, They are the ones that should be making sure they are not parasites or elitist. If this is a common occurrence (Not something I witness IRL) then what you are asking is for Paizo to find a better way to weed those VOs out and get better VOs.

I am seeing the same problem and reported it to Roll20.

What we really need is an adventure where Nigel takes a vacation, and we've been asked to curate the Museum full time in his place.

Hmm

I love this idea! Someone make it happen!

Adding back Faction Reputation tracking back would be nice as well since the most common answer I get when I ask how much reputation you have is "I don't know". Which is annoying since that was part old chronicle.

I am not going to be the PFS-police. I'll leave that to the VOs.[/ooc]

I wonder if a Badge comes with that...

Wow, 5 years ago was such a different world....

"Bends down to pick up the ball to hand back to Tonya" Ouch my knees!!!!

"Leaves the ball there" You got this Tonya! Good post!

4) Save all the files

Minor recommendation. Don't save the files, print them to PDF. That will flatten the text boxes you entered and incorporate them into the image of the page. If you just save from the original, the boxes will be editable when distributed which would allow the player to change the values if they wanted to. Sure, we are supposed to expect good faith, but there is no reason to empower the cheaters. YMMV

I make my chronicles editable and lock once I sign them.

Edit: Oh they are taking out the Signature for Season 2. That said I can still lock them.

Then call them out and tell them that is a no go in 2020 and the years to come.

Digitization isn't some weird next century science mumbo jumbo and it needs wifi or other signals.

Yup let me just call AT&T out, I am sure they will listen to me...

I am also a little confused by something here. Everything I am seeing and hearing seems to be about this change to online boons for Pathfinder. Is it also applying to Starfinder? Because, I recently played in a game of Starfinder, and the gm was talking about how Fame was no longer awarded and boons were all online, but I didn't think that was correct.

Currently only applies to PF2, not Starfinder.

You don't have to, the purchased boon will be sufficient.

But I can if I want to have them consolidated in one location?

This is something we are working on as part of conversion and will have more information shortly. But we are trying to find a way to consolidate that doesn't overwhelm the available processes.

As Promised... Thanks Tonya!... But no Thanks to Alex!!!! ;)

It is just like making French toast with orange juice. Different kind of mixture. Different kind of experience.

Wait... I never heard of this... Anyone have the recipe for this? ;)

Per this post it is not a typo.

That said, I agree with you, it should give full instead of quest/bounty.

It was honestly weird to start being called by my forum name more than my real name.

There is nothing weird about your first name, is is beautiful first name, nay I say it is the best first name!

"can my hireling feint?" and so on.

My hireling Faints every time Combat starts... ;)

Also the reason WizKids Minis and Ninja Division Minis look similar if they do would be because they are going off the same Art.

Particularly WIzKids loves making their miniatures based on the Art from the books.

My guess is that Archon is losing too much money on Starfinder Minis and are in discussion on if they want to even continue it.

That is just speculation.

I've also been very clear on how I think it could be fixed.

Do you mean the Store Credit?

I doubt that would happen since they are only the Licensee and not the actual developer of the product. Ninja Division is wholly responsible for the money we gave them. Sure Paizo suggested we get into the Kickstarter and some like me would have not gotten into it in the first place if it was not for that recommendation. But still this kickstarter is a Ninja Division Farce not a Paizo Farce.

Even if Paizo got any money from the licencing of Starfinder it would have been small in comparison to what Ninja Division took in from the Kickstarter.

That was in reply of Ghost725 stating Wizkids was profiting on the kickstarter, which they are not.

WizKids Product and the Product from the Kickstarter have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

We've also invested in a flo-pack style bubble machine to speed up the HB pack out process and we look forward to phasing it into our normal fulfillment as a partial replacement for peanuts. It won't completely replace them as some orders will still require them to keep their contents safe, but we could see a marked decrease in our use of them this year.

No this makes me happier.. Though I would prefer that peanuts just go away fully. You are still the only company I order from that uses them.

Nope. I made worse comments about them before I mellowed out.

We have mellowed you now? ;)

I know this isn't Paizo's fault, but someone needs to get some engineers from Hero Lab Online and Roll20 in the same room.

The idea that you can't import a character in HTML format into Roll20 is a major obstacle to the use to the platform.

Lone Wolf is already working on it, they have been for a few months now. The initial release of on something that works with Roll20 might come out this month.

It is not about file size it is about less resources used when printing.

Just posting to say that I am 100% behind Lau's proposal which would be simple, easy-to-implement, and future proof.

Hmm

I proposed something?... Oh Wait... Damn you Lau!!!!
