I posted this over on rpg.geekdo.com, but thought I'd cross-post to get some feedback here on Paizo's official site. I think my post and the follow-ups reflect that the website either needs to be more informative or an overhaul or.... SOMETHING.
Link is here.
Maybe it's just me, but when I go to their site, I see a ton of product where I'm not quite clear what goes with what. To wit:- Pathfinder Chronicles
- Pathfinder Modules
- Pathfinder Adventure Paths
- Pathfinder Companion
- Pathfinder SocietyI know what a module is. But how do the Chronicles / Society / Companion / etc. fit in here? Are Adventure Paths simply multi-part modules or what? Are all of these compatible with Pathfinder or 3.5E? Sounds like a conversion from 3.5E is a no-brainer, but I'd like to know in advance what I'm getting.
It also looks like they have a variety of "subscriptions" where you automatically "get" new product. Is this simply guaranteeing you have a spot in the pre-order line or is there something more to it? Additionally, it's not just a single subscription, but multiple subscriptions that are available. I find their site just really isn't that concise in terms of what you can subscribe to and what you get. If anyone out there is a subscriber, can you shed some light on this?
Are any of the other products they have worth it? I'm thinking in particular about the deck of cards for items / treasures / etc. It would be cool, but doesn't sound like *that* much of an improvement over just writing an item on a character sheet. More fluff than crunch I guess I'm thinking. Maybe I'm missing something here.
Thanks!
