Normally, I try to order direct from Paizo to get my gaming fix, or save cash and get items direct at GenCon every year, but I received an Amazon gift card for Christmas or my birthday last year and decided to use it on some awesome Paizo products.

Two of them were pre-orders. The one I'm specifically writing about it Bastards of Golarion. I've recently received yet another notice from Amazon that the book won't be available until June 8th.

Is it common practice to offer the book here on the website directly the day it comes out, and then make other distributors wait four or five months to get their copies of the books?

Hey All,

My cleric in our home game has recently decided to undertake the Ritual of Possession from the Chronicles of the Righteous book. He's had it for one session so far. It was a lot of fun, some great opportunities for weird roleplaying (when he wasn't just comatose and drooling, or seizing).

However, it also seemed to eat up a huge chunk of time and took a bit of the spotlight away from the other players and a lot of time away from our "adventuring" time. Has anyone else used this ritual in their games? And if so, how'd it go for you?

We're thinking of using an alternate system where the checks are still cumulative, but the possession can only take place once per day. Also thinking of putting together a random rolling chart of "possessing entities" and personalities just to take a little bit of the load off the dm.

Thoughts?
