Wanted to follow up on this as it has been over a week and I've heard nothing.

What's the status?

Photos sent to the customer service email. Good suggestion. Proactive is better.

Thanks!

Hey! I bought the Limited Edition Starfinder Core Rulebook at GenCon and the pages split from the spine around page 512 in the glossary. The damage is significant. What can I do about getting a replacement? I can send photos and return the damaged book if need be.

Thanks!

If only there was an easy way to generate a random number in a board game...maybe someday.

TClifford, you're kind of my hero.

From page 11:

If your character doesn’t have any of the skills listed for a check, you can still attempt the check (unless you’re trying to recharge a card; see Recharge on page 15), but your die is a d4. You may use a skill that isn’t listed on your character card only if another card gives your character that skill.

So you would roll 1d4+1d10.

From the FAQ:

When exactly do I recharge a spell that I've played on a check?
After you've finished the check entirely. You must finish one check before you start another. That means you make the roll for the original check (and take damage if necessary) before you begin the check to recharge the spell.

Resolution: On page 12 of the rulebook, before Resolve the Encounter, add a new section:
"Make the Next Check, If Needed: If there's another check required, such as if you played a boon with a check to recharge, or if your bane requires a second check to defeat, resolve it as described above."

On page 15, under Recharge, before the parenthetical sentence, add the following:
"If, while attempting another check, you play a boon that you may be able to recharge, resolve the current check before attempting to recharge the card. The boon is in play (and does not count as being in your hand, deck, discard pile, or elsewhere) during the intervening time."

Don't care about the PDF. I'd definitely pay for print on demand.

No, what we have to judge Vic on, and Paizo customer service for that matter, is THIS experience.

If this is any indication on how customers are going to be treated, maybe they can do without a few.

I know that I, for one, will be watching very closely on how this is handled between now and when the next expansion pack comes out.

It's fair enough that you only have this experience to judge from.

However, I cannot see how anyone can feel mistreated here.

There have been a few misprinted cards, and several clarifications made. The company and designer have been proactive in answering people's questions, and a FAQ was put up in record time. The co-owner of the company has monitored the boards closely and taken a personal interest in clarifying the game rules. He also said he would discuss the question of reprints, and acknowledged that most of the discussion was reasonable, but he took exception to being presented with a petition.

Frankly, the title of this thread, and a very few of the posts in it, show a great deal of entitlement, as well as ignorance of the logistics involved in producing a product like this.
The game is entirely playable (and even those complaining say it is a great deal of fun) with the few errors present. They have continued to address errors/ambiguities with the boards and FAQ. And the company has a strong record of listening to feedback.
This is not a non-functional product with key missing elements. It's a game with a couple of mis-prints. For a game of such complexity, it's remarkable how few errors there are.

Obviously, people should ask for what they want, and discuss possible ways of fulfilling that desire. But to "petition" for free cards and lambaste a company rep who is willing to discuss the issue with you (and would be key in any decision made) is neither smart nor realistic.

This may be the most lucid and intelligent thing I've ever read on the Internet. Excellent work Sir!

I'm happy to engage in a *discussion* when I have time, but starting a "petition" to try to make us do something is not a good tactic—it just makes me feel like I'm being strongarmed, and frankly, pisses me off. I consider it thoroughly offensive and insulting.

I appreciate that most of the posts in this thread are from people engaging in a reasonable discussion of the issue. I'll respond more fully when I have time (which is unlikely to be today).

I approve of this message. Well said indeed.

I don't think replacement cards are necessary. Seems unnecessary to me.

Or at the beginning of a scenario. Bottom of page 4 under Setup.
