Yeah, I subscribed thinking I would have the option for this to be my first shipment, but the option wasn't offered, and the site says print edition "unavailable."

The hardcopies are already sold out, or not yet released?

Please cancel the following subscriptions:

Pathfinder Adventure Path - following #78
Pathfinder Campaign Setting - following WofR Map Folio
Pathfinder Player Companion - following Bastards of Golarion
Pathfinder Modules - following Tears of Bitter Manor
Pathfinder RPG - now

Thanks,
John

I have suspended your subscriptions and sent you a brief email with instructions for reinstatement and getting your missed volumes.

Please restart my subscriptions. I have updated my account with my new address.

Please suspend my Adventure Paths subscription. Thanks!

Please resume all of my subscriptions, except for Planet Stories, please cancel that one. You can hold everything for my next monthly shipment, or send it now, whatever is cheaper for shipping.

Thanks!

What would be the difference between cancellation and suspension? In this case, I am expecting to be able to resume in maybe 4 to 6 months from now.

Please cancel my subscriptions. I would like the Pathfinder Adventure Path subscription to end after #42, but all other subscriptions, cancel immediately.

Thanks.

Actually - is it possible to put them on hold or suspend them, and what would be the difference?

Regardless of the content (there have been a lot of good ideas already posted here), the key to this set is the marketing. It needs to be marketed and sold "mainstream," a la Wal Mart, Target, etc, right next to Monopoly and other games (so it should come in a box). Not going to find a new audience in your FLGS.

I placed this order hoping to combine the shipping with my next subscription shipment, but it never really gave me that option at checkout. I think that is because one of the items (ASOIF Campaign Guide) is a preorder, and it defaulted to have everything ship when that item is available.

Can you move the "available now" items to ship with my next subscription shipment, and the preorder to ship with the next subscription shipment after it is actually available?

Thanks!

I've moved the "ready to go" items to your sidecart, however, the preorder cannot. Non-Paizo preorders must always ship separately due to the unpredictability of their release dates.

Thanks,

Can you cancel the preorder for the Campaign Guide then? I will order it after it actually hits the streets.

I placed this order during the Alliance Game Distributors sale earlier this month, and combined shipping with my subscriptions to save money. Now the order is shipping, and two of the items were cancelled as "no longer available." Were they available in early July and I missed out because of the combined shipping option?? If so, that stinks.

No, items from that sale were fulfilled in order of ordering, not in order of shipping. You can read more about why some orders had to be cancelled in our responses here.

Good to know that is the order fulfillment policy. Wouldn't have gotten those either way, then. Thanks for you quick reply, Vic!

I know Flumph's are almost universally mocked, but I thought the treatment of Flumph's in Rappan Athuk Reloaded is actually pretty interesting.

Any way to get a hardcopy of this?

That was written over 20 years ago. Dark Dungeons, his anti-DnD comic, comes up on E-Bay every once in a while, it is an amusing read. Some people focus their time and energy in strange ways.

Also, I preordered the PFRPG Core Rules and Bestiary using the old card. Can it either be transferred to the new one (ending in 6030), or else cancel the order and notify me, I will then preorder again using the new info.

Thanks!

It was the preorders that were preventing the deletion of the old card. The system won't let you delete a card that is still attached to anything as a payment method.

I have switched the payment method on your preorders and sent you a new confirmation email.

thanks,

Perfect, Cos, thank you!

My debit card number changed, and I was able to move my subscriptions onto the new number (ends in 6030), but I can't remove the old number (ends in 2294) from my profile.

All be honest, after all the edition wars, bata testing, yelling and screaming about home rules, I think I'd like Pathfinder to remain em

'stable' for a long time. This may only be wishful thinking as 3.0 had only three years 3.5 about 5 years, along with a lot of home rules for publishers and settings. Then again that was Wizards fault, Paizo has shown itself to be a differnt animal. But I think the Industry while strong and diverse, needs a little more stablity. Moreover lets all face it 3.x is prob. the most tinkered with and refined game system ever, no Pathfinder isn't perfect, (Sorry James but I have to say it "Hello Use Rope, welcome back glad you like the new skill system, even if they did try to get rid of you and your fellow skills") but I think we are all ready to give tinkering a rest and move on. I'd like to see the Pathfinder standard remain for a lest 10 years, unless something is really really broken. I mean so broken everyone agrees its bad by the end of a years playing. I don't see that coming, even with the stuff I didn't like.

Just my copper....TTFN Dre

I think that longer term stability of the ruleset is something Paizo is looking to achieve with Pathfinder. As a third party publisher, their business model has not been dependent on the massive influx of sales from a new edition release (something WotC has done three times in 8 yrs), so hopefully they can continue to be successful long term without having to sell us on a major rules overhaul.

Good games stand the test of time - Chess, Monopoly, Risk, etc. - without dramatic changes in their rules. Fantasy roleplaying should ultimately be no different.

For these first two core books, my 2 cents is for a free PDF for all preorders. If you are late to the party, if you want both, pay for both. The idea of bundling both for a discount would be okay, too.

I don't this as long as they announce it before it's too late to pre-order and get in on it. I'm a guaranteed sale, but I haven't pre-ordered in case I want to buy other stuff with the books and take advantage of the shipping discount. If they tell me I can get free PDFs by pre-ordering, I'm in, but if they suddenly announce that everyone who has already pre-ordered, and no one else, gets the PDFs, I'll be annoyed.

Agreed, whatever their decision may be, they should let us know sooner rather than later what their course of action will be regarding PDF versions of the upcoming rules.

An RPG subsciption implies that they are regularly going to be putting out splat books, a la WotC. While Paizo hasn't been too specific about this, they seem to have implied that aside from additional Beastiaries, there won't be a whole lot of optional rulebooks, as they wanted to avoid the "new hardback every month" model that WotC seems to follow.

For these first two core books, my 2 cents is for a free PDF for all preorders. If you are late to the party, if you want both, pay for both. The idea of bundling both for a discount would be okay, too.

Any reason LB1 was cancelled from my subscription shipment? If it was a mistake of some sort, no rush, just put it in the next one to go out.

Since July 2006, I have spent close to a grand over the internet buying directly from Paizo (not counting my Dragon & Dungeon Magazines). I can also say for a bit I bought from my FLGS another 200+ bucks of Paizo. All I can say is......well done guys.

Now put that money to good use!

Cheers,

I wonder if that pays someones salary for a month?

$1000 for a month's salary?

My subscription download pdf for the Gazetteer has a bunch of blank pages. Basically every other page has no text whatsover, only the artwork and background watermarking. I have compared it to the print version and there definitely should be content on these pages. I tried downloading it again, and the file was no different. Anyone else have this issue?

Many of us had this problem with the Gazetteer, and one other PDF file. The common problem was that we were all using Foxit Version 2.2. If you are using Foxit 2.2, upgrade to Foxit 2.3 which does not have the problem.

I have reset your starting volume and moved every item (as opposed to subscription or PDF) on the order into your sidecart to wait and ship with the next monthly shipment together. If you prefer to get these items more quickly, let me know and I will ship them right away.

thanks,
cos

Thanks, Cos!

I am set up with monthly shipping, which should be fine for me - when do the monthly shipments go out? The first of the month? The 17th of the month? The second Tuesday of each month?

I recently signed up for the Pathfinder Modules subscription, but it lists my next module to ship as LB1 (in June). Was I too late for W3? I signed up before it was released.

For the other subscriptions (Adventure Paths, etc.), it looks like I will be getting the currently available product in my first shipment (which is pending). Why not with the modules? I don't mind waiting until the June shipment for W3 if that is necessary.
