My watch will end when I have hard copies in my hot little hands.

First thing I checked: Alchemist Goggles; fixed yay! How were they broken?
My Subscription Order is still "Pending" (for 10 days now). Can I get an update? No.
Thanks to you both. :-)
Welcome to here. Nothing planned that I know of.
People keep talking about smashing f4 or f5. I do that, and all I get is a little bell telling me that key doesn't do anything. I have no shipping email, no new downloads, and my order is still pending. :-(
BTW, this got left out of the statblock: Gender: Male; Age: 15; Height: 5' 3"; Weight: 130 lb.;
So this afternoon I was reading, and this idea came to me. Not the usual class for Tarzan, but I think it sorta fits. What do you think? Tarzan

There have been times where the warehouse has still been working at 7:30 pm pacific time. Not impossible they've worked later to get everything out.
The hardest part.Waiting is...a test? a challenge? certainly an obstacle Don't tell me nobody here ever read Robert Heinlein's Stranger In A Strange Land! Waiting is... Waiting for fullness is. The Martian Old Ones waited, and when they fully understood the people of the fifth planet, and how evil they were, they blew the planet up. They have not yet reached fullness about the third planet.
Waiting is...
"Join the Navy" they said. "See the World" they said. All I saw was a lot of water. Well, and Japan, and Hong Kong, and Brunei, and Western Australia, and Bandar Abbas, and Singapore, and... okay, water wasn't *all* I saw. :-)
Maybe the goblin's tail is longer than the lizard's. :-)
Playing in some of the urban fantasy worlds would be fun. Or Niven's from "The Magic Goes Away".
My watch began yesterday. Where's my stuff? :-) Pri one: PC2
"Ask me for anything but time." -- Napolean Bonaparte
Another very interesting character. :-) Indentured servitude is, technically at least, not slavery. So I wonder -- how was it that Bram became indentured? What were the terms of his indenture (a contract which generally has a time limit)? Not familiar with the Lies of Locke Lamora. Is this a novel? If so, I should probably read it. :-)
"Once upon a time, there was a warrior whose sword crumpled and, consequently, he lost the fight. As he lay, leaning against a tree, his lap full of intestines, holding the twisted, useless lump of bronze that used to be his sword, he thought to himself “gee... if I’d had a magical sword, I could’ve beaten that guy...” And that was the first fellow to think up the idea of an enchanted weapon. Unfortunately, the idea died with him... and with the next warrior in that position, and the next... Eventually, someone in this position had an amazing recovery and went to a mage saying, “hey, can you make me a magic sword?” To which the mage said “why?” and the warrior told him. “OK, give my your sword,” and the warrior did, and the mage waved his arms up and down and said “mumbus–pokery–hocus–etcetera. OK, now your sword is extremely magical. I guarantee you won’t get killed while you use it. That’ll be 1,000d. Now go away and let me get back to work.” And that is where we got the idea of enchanted weapons." -- N. Robin Crossby, Harnmaster Gold Player Edition, version 2.1, 2009
I wasn't limiting my objection to just Starfinder. As for "space" how many playable species should we expect to find native to "space"? I don't mind a universe with N habitable planets and N≤M≤2N (ish) playable races. I do think that a single planet with 36 playable ancestries is pushing it, especially considering that one of them is as prolific and xenophobic as humanity.
Paizo comes up with so many interesting iconic characters.
Took me a minute to realize "Fullbright" isn't a name for the Sun, but rather a name for a region of Verces on which the Sun shines. Which leads me, for no particular reason, to wonder what the name for the Sun is in the various native languages of the Pact Worlds (Lashunta "Mataras", "Burning Mother" according to the Starfinder wiki). Not to mention the various languages of Golarion ca. 4724 AR. Side note: Earth's star is "the Sun" or "Sol" or "Helios" or... how many languages are there on Earth these days? And that's not counting the dead ones.
What's always bothered me about the rate of tech advancement on Golarion is that "current time" in Pathfinder is roughly 10,000 years after the (new) "beginning", which corresponds roughly with Terran history, and yet Golarion is no farther tech advanced than maybe the late Middle Ages (and most of that seems to be anomaly rather than systemic advancement). Who's to say it wouldn't take another 10,000 years to get to the technological advances we see in Starfinder? Looking at it from the viewpoint of 4724 AR, I think "when will the Gap occur?" is really a pointless question. Which may be Paizo's point, I don't know. :-) Speaking of tech advancement, at what point in our future would we be able to replace Earth with an "Earth Central" station like Absalom station? I don't think we could do it now -- and of course the question must include an answer to "what happens to Earth itself?" in the course of this. The "War of the Immortals" might be a good trigger event for the Gap, though I'm not sure how to explain that the Gap doesn't start at the same time at all places. Also, the War might not be a good trigger event. We just don't know.
Seeing all the calls for new species/ancestries, the thought that immediately occurred to me was "how many competing species can we cram into a finite space?" I realize this is fantasy, but I can only suspend my disbelief so far.
What's the status of this issue?
ottdmk: I really like your guide. One suggestion: Color the names in the table of contents with the same colors you use later to show rankings. That way the toc becomes a quick index to the rankings.
"Sic semper tyrannis!"
I'd say if you still don't have a shipping notice you should email customer service. :-)
Haircut and grocery shopping today, bridge tomorrow. And I have to read over what Ian sent me about Symmetric Relay. :-)
Pawns and battle cards. I like both. Any chance there will be a Monster Core Battle Cards issue some day?
Okay, that's a good point. And I can add stuff to the spellbooks. I just itch because I'm pretty sure whatever I would add won't be what whoever created the pregen would add. <shrug>
I am somewhat bemused by the idea that PCs need sixty trillion different monsters to potentially fight. After all, if you go lion hunting in Africa ten times, you don't run into something completely new each time after the first.
Hm. According to Herolab neither Hellpup nor The Tin Wizard have all the spells in their spellbook/familiar listed, , which says they should both have 7 first rank spells, but they don't (one has one, the other two).They're pregen prepared casters. Does it matter what spells they have that aren't prepared? Probably not. I just don't like it when Herolab yells at me. :-)
It's in my pdf of volume 3, under "Ghosts Of Golarion". It does not appear to be in the Hardcover.
There are 415 distinct pawns in the box. Where there are duplicates, there seem to be two total. Unfortunately I don't have time to copy down all the individual names. Apparently they are continuing the line, at least for some things. Not for the APs (or presumably other adventures) though.
One weird group I was in was like team ninja it was four operatives. One was real focused on being the party face one was super computer hacking oriented one was more generalist covering a lot of random skills and the fourth was more focused on pure fighting. We were really light on the magic side although we faked it a good bit with equipment but we got by well enough. Sounds like the Rules Lawyer's group of four Thaumaturges. :-) A thought is bouncing around in my head: "Welcome to the Game of Life. What's your build?" :-)
Heh. Had to explain my t-shirt to a number of eighty year old bridge players yesterday. It says, in a typeface that will be familiar to anyone who knows the ttrpg Traveller, "You haven't lived until you've died during character creation". :-)
Lessee. Played very bad bridge yesterday. :-( Friends' birthday party later today, after I get some sleep (it's 4 am here).
Hm. According to Herolab neither Hellpup nor The Tin Wizard have all the spells in their spellbook/familiar listed, , which says they should both have 7 first rank spells, but they don't (one has one, the other two).
I "made" Cutie in the Pathbuilder app, but there is a problem. The Skill feats has an extra number. Where is that 3rd one coming from?Martial Disciple (Athletics) gives you Combat Jump, Raging Intimidation gives you Intimidating Glare, and then since this is a level 2 pregen, you get another skill feat. Worked fine in Herolab Online a few minutes ago.
Is it July yet?
When the national chain Denny's decided to come to Rochester NY many years ago, there was already a local restaurant named Denny's. It was pretty popular. The chain forced them to change their name. :-(
Looking through my pantry the other day, I found a ten year old container of psyllium husks. I have no idea how long that stuff keeps, so I tossed it.
Bridge tournament today. I think we came in just out of the money. Have to check. Second session tomorrow. Went grocery shopping after today's session. Bought too much junk food. Might take some of it to tomorrow's game. Finishing up my re-watch of "The Night Agent" tonight. Maybe finish volume five of "the Leira Chronicles". Tomorrow: put the laundry I did yesterday away. Sunday: reading.
Perhaps the reason you can't find it is that it's missing. :-)
Masa Hariña works as a thickener. Or black beans if you can stand to put beans in your chili.
This is why oracles throughout history have been so gosh-darned vague. The ones who get cocky and get too specific nearly always end up on the business end of an angry and disappointed overlord's stabbin' stick. That's pretty much what happened to Hugh Pinero (cf. "Lifeline" by Robert Heinlein), though it wasn't an overlord it was an angry mob that killed him. Come to think on it, an angry mob killed Valentine Michael Smith, too. Mobs are dangerous.
Who is "they"? What rare spells?
I just checked. The information missing (from the inside and outside of the back cover) from the Player's Handbook pdf is important stuff about getting knocked out, getting wounded, dying, and some other stuff. This is either deliberate (in which case IMO somebody at Paizo made a wrong decision) or a serious screw up. I haven't noticed "many PDFs" skipping the back cover pages. I suppose now I'm going to have to check every pdf. :-( IMO Paizo should fix this.
June, July, what's the difference?! :-)
Just downloaded the files. The size problem appears to have been fixed.
