I am kinda new the the Pathfinder community, Hi!

I was just gonna ask why is the pocket edition unavailable? My local tabletop game store doesn't carry it so I figured I would try to buy it directly.

Does this happen often and we just have to wait or is there some issue?

Thanks in advanced!

I haven't seen a specific reason, but usually it's because the particular item has sold out from the warehouse and reprints have not yet arrived. Since this is part of the remaster I'm sure there will be a new shipment in the near future, but sadly with the god of prophecy dead, hard to say when they'll arrive more specifically. (as to frequency, I haven't seen it before on this particular product, but it's a thing that occurs sometimes.) Welcome!

I'm one of those old-fashioned players who needs the analog version for use; I don't think I've even downloaded most of the digital copies which came with my previous sub orders, though it's nice to have some of them for quick reference one-off questions. I also wasn't too fussed by getting the book a week or two after street date, I rarely play anymore so there's no rush to having it right away. I'd dropped my subscriptions because I just wasn't interested in the latest offerings, but if their next big meta-push is Azlant or the Golden Road regions, or maybe even Arcadia, I would happily re-up. Here's hoping!

I would love to have the fruits of such an agreement, I just can't imagine it happening anytime soon. Agreed that Savage Pathfinder is an excellent proof of concept; it's apparently done well enough to continue the line with additional adventure and supplements, but I think it's somewhat telling that when Paizo made a conversion of their Abomination Vaults, they didn't target a Savage license (or even a partnership project) but instead made a 5e version. Collaboration isn't a hurdle; Kobold Press, and likely others, for years put out products under multiple systems. That we've not seen many others doing the same at scale, suggests that they aren't terribly lucrative compared to the efforts involved.

I'm one of those strange folks who bought Secrets of Magic for the in-world lore, not the specific 2e rules elements. Same with most of the Lost Omens books, actually. I don't need multiple copies for each discrete system I happen to run games in, and I suspect that many folks like myself can easily take the lore and work within their systems of choice. And this isn't even looking at the adventures; which to my understanding sell way fewer copies than splatbooks of rules elements. Converting Runelords and Crimson Throne on the publisher side sounded less like plug-and-play stat blocks for the new system, but rather a retooling from the ground up because SW makes completely different assumptions about playstyle, game balance, etc. So unfortunately it's not quite as easy as changing out one set of plates to work seamlessly with some or all of the other potential partners to this agreement.

Overall I don't think it's an unworkable idea to establish such cooperation, and hopefully with the new ORC license kicking around we'll see companies take different steps towards producing their materials for various systems. With that said, though, I just don't see it being the replacement for D&D. I think that the blue avian social site is an apt analogy - after making some significantly and self-inflicted unpopular changes, they've certainly lost people to competing platforms. However, different groups moved to various platforms that suited their particular needs; all these other sites saw an increase in their membership and traffic, but even together they're not challenging its dominance - and it's still operating despite the naysaying. I think Ben hit the nail on the head that the only thing which could really challenge D&D is a game so good and easy to get into that players flock to on their own.

Fantastic! This is my first time posting anywhere on these forums, but I've been following the discussion in these comments since 2019 because I'm very excited about this title.

I'm sure it'll take time to go through the rest of the process, but the fact that the script was submitted is so exciting. Can't wait for this one.

Edit: Actually, since this is my first time that I'd be preordering anything -- does the preorder come with a pdf, or just the physical volume alone? If the latter, would the pdf go up for purchase later? Sorry for the n00b question. :)

Someone more authoritative would be better to say for certain - generally a bonus PDF is included if you receive a product via subscription, so if you subscribe to the PF Adventures line with this product, it should include the PDF.

I get so excited every time I see this thread light up. We haven't forgotten! (But yes will be as patient as we must <3 )

This is not a complaint. I'm just asking for understanding. What happened to the random minis that were tossed in on my first couple orders?

The first couple of ordered I received contained minis in them. They were a random, single mini. More recent orders do not have them.

They're just an occasional random bonus - sometimes I'll get cards from the adventure game, too. Not something that comes with every order though.

Aye! Farewell, safe travels, and thank you :)

If February was that light a release month, and their CS backlog is that bad, it seems entirely reasonable for them to slide those couple items forwards into March. Hopefully we'll at least get a heads up this coming week - either with the March order post/ news or even just one of the Paizo folks chiming in here with a ballpark when we'll hear.

Thanks for the heads up. Is it possible to get some kind of comparison between the original 2e screen and the new Core one? I've got the older portrait four-fold and want to know if it's worth the upgrade.

Eeh, the sales advantage is probably a factor, but doesn't seem a nefarious one to me. The people who were only going to buy a pocket edition still get to buy it; and the company's been completely transparent about this change, so customers can make their own decision about whether to buy the hardcover or wait. If other companies in the industry do the same with their versions (I'm not well traveled, but I'll trust Aaron's word) then normalizing to that convention seems fine.

I'll have to snag this next paycheck....

Quick Q if anyone wants to mention.

Any biohacker or Witchwarper options in this? I assume some of course. but I'm wondering if its just more theorom/choices or if they have big shake ups?

Biohacker has one new field of study, and 25 new theorems across the level bands.

I'm really looking forward to this book, I haven't seen much of the existing lore on dwarves in Golarion so it'll all be fresh for me :) Also a friendly reminder to the Marketing team to please update the LO Subscription so that we can start with this product!

Hey, now we have some details, excellent! I've enjoyed a couple ARPGs but they're not usually my jam, I'll wait for more info about gameplay but I do hope it's successful.

I'm still here and I'll still buy it whenever you get the chance :) expectations have been managed!

They've got some of the out-of-print adventure modules and supplement books on POD through Pathfinder Infinite; if you head to pathfinderinfinite dot com, in the top-left box (on desktop) should be a 'pathfinder official' link that filters down to just the Paizo options.

I loved the concept of the Witchwarper but in practice, it didn't quite feel like what I'd hoped. Looking forward to an updated take to see if that scratches the itch! Scaling equipment and narrative battles also sound very intriguing.

In short - yes, please!

I believe I saw a member of their marketing team recently say something to the effect of, 'Most of the leadership team is new, and decisions previously made may be revisited.' So I'll keep checking on this, and if it ever does come up I'll gladly buy it (and the flip-mat if we get that also).

And if it never comes to pass, so be it.

Thank you for this clear and transparent information post. I especially like the advance notice before it goes into effect; I now can make the choice to pick up any last 'maybe' selections at the current prices. No buyer is ever truly *happy* with rate increases, but these are - as far as I've experienced with the products impacted - reasonable and fair.

Oh I know it's on indefinite hold, and has been for a year. And perhaps we'll never see it. But it costs me little to think about what could be :)

I check back on this periodically, the Absalom book was my absolute favorite so far but Kingmaker 2e is narrowing the gap. Still hoping to see this sooner than later but I'll wait patiently, I know it'll be good :)

What an incredible career path! Most of the places you list, and their subsequent offerings, were hugely impactful to my tabletop gaming experience. Thank you for all your efforts along the way, and may the future be good to you!

Products have begun shipping to backers, and we are now granting the PDFs for Pathfinder Kingmaker Adventure Path products. While only a few of the products included free PDFs as a reward, we are granting backers a complete set of PDFs as a thank you for their patience.

Our CS team has been striving to catch up and response times are much improved. Again, thank you.

The bonus PDFs is a wonderful and very appreciated treat. Thank you for all your hard work! So glad to finally get these <3

Well there should be PDFs too, as far as I can remember. I don't usually see those in my downloads until the shipping is finalized though - and that email I haven't gotten yet. (And yeah, the email notif is probably automatic as they load the batches of pledges into the system, so those are likely coming either by series or by chunk depending how they did it.) I couldn't find a product page on the website for any of the things in my 'order' though, and clicking the product link just took me to a constantly reloading page.

I'd backed the Kingmaker 10th Anniversary project, and this evening received an email that the order for those products was pending - might be impacting the warehouse, order, and email volumes. (They'd been projecting a September shipping/ receipt timeframe.) Hopefully that also bodes well for them getting through the backlog.

Thanks for the hard work folks, it's appreciated!

I've been a huge fan of both Azlant and Thassilon, buying all the Runelords stuff and the Ruins of Azlant path. I'd really enjoy a book about those (and other) fallen civilizations; snapshots of what they were like, blurbs about how they rose and fell, ideas for what might remain of them.

Thanks for the update, and the email! I really appreciate the transparency and working to keep us in the loop, plenty of us realize that much of this is out of y'alls hands.

Just wanted to say, thank you for sending out that email to the subscribers - I don't check the forums much so I'd had no idea on the delays. Good to know y'all are on top of it :)
