A Chelaxian Aasimar Absolutely Venerates Iomedae Despite Every Tiefling Living Beneath Asmodeus Authority

Legendary!

Thanks again.

Cheers Katina!

Are you able to confirm if the second item (Mutants & Masterminds—Third Edition: Hero's Handbook—Deluxe Edition) is in stock for this order?

Any chance of an update on this?

Thankyou :)

It appears 1 item in this order is out of stock, even though it was listed on the store as available.

Where do we go from here? Is there a partial refund or do you get new stock?

I am concerned about the second item in the order too as this is not exactly readily available elsewhere...is there any more information you can give me?

Thankyou!

So you are looking for an ability that trades out favoured enemy for a flat +1 bonus against everything that increases with level?

Lemme know if you find it, cos that seems like a very good deal :)

I am not sure if there is such an ability...all of the ones mentioned cost some action - Guide is the lowest cost as a swift action, but there are limited uses for that ability too.

The Freebooter Archetype has a similar ability to the Guide Archetype noted by Java Man.

Seems like the Guide version is a better self-buff, whereas the Freebooter applies the buff to allies too (with conditions).

Still need to spend actions for both though.

Ok, another thought.

If I had not moved and one of the other party members had passed the perception check (knowing it is DC20, not 40) could they make the other party members 'aware' of his presence?

E.g:
Me: He sounds like he is gonna attack, but I cant see him!!!
Another player (who passed the perception check): Pretty sure he is up ahead, but I cant see him either. He might be invisible.

Assuming the bad guy hasn't acted yet, do we all then just roll in to initiative normally or would a surprise round still apply?

With my low wisdom my guy might still charge in future despite the danger!!! :D

A different example.
When you enter a dungeon, you expect to find some creatures inside it that you will have to fight, but each encounter will be a new initiative, and potential to be surprised.

Excellent point - thankyou :)

Knowing that someone invisible is talking to you is not DC 20. Sorry, someone had to say this. The moment you hear what that creature says and you understand what it says, there is no surprise round.

You enter combat and your problem is that you can not see your foe, but your problem is not that you are not in combat and surprised.

And this was the argument I originally made. It appears from the comments above people are saying it could have been some other magical effect (magic mouth or ventriloquism for example), and thus I could not actually be aware of his presence (and thus satisfy the conditions for acting in the surprise round).

At this point Initiative had not been rolled despite my character initiating an aggressive action

Thankyou all for your help - just trying to puzzle out the whole scenario :)

So to summarise, based on what I have described (Bad guy speaks, I immediately charge move assuming he is up ahead, the whole party is in the same location and close to each other):

• There should have been a surprise round
• There should have been Perception checks all around with a DC of 20 (so everyone had the chance to become 'aware' of the bad guy, even if it required a natural 20 as it did in my case. This would only have made us aware of his presence, not his specific location
• My guy was legitimately hit by a readied action and it was correct for my GM to NOT apply the charge penalty

Still no way to avoid this in future though...bummer.

If you will indulge me with 1 last theoretical question?

The party gets word of an ambush waiting for them whilst they are travelling. The messenger advises the location of the ambush and other key details.

If the party are fully prepared for the ambush, but don't roll high enough perception to see the stealthed enemy I am assuming a surprise round would still occur based on the responses here?

Well, he was literally just talking to us, and that was what triggered my to move towards him, sword in hand.

I guess this brings up another issue...if he literally just spoke, but stopped when I started moving, does he get the bonus for being silent?

Also, for clarity, my perception is +0 (yeah, I know), but the whole party was together during this and others have a MUCH higher perception than me (we are all lvl 12), so should they have all got perception rolls for the chance to act in the surprise round too?

Still struggling with a way to avoid this in future. At the very minimum I can admit when I am wrong, but characters should learn from their mistakes (though my paladin is low Wisdom, so maybe he didnt?) :)

Yes, that's partly why I'm so surprised that 1, this guy is sure he couldn't get high enough with his perception, and that apparently no one in the party could?

OR
2 No one thought to attempt a roll to actually check if an enemy was there. And the GM runs a game where if you don't say it you don't do it and so no free perception checks.

Like what I'd do was start having everyone attempt a perception to check if he was present, hopefully at least 1 beats that DC 0 check, then have everyone start trying to pin down his location. Sure that would probably trigger the bad guy popping a surprise round as soon as he sees we're searching for him, before we find him and maybe some of us wouldn't have found him to act in the surprise round with him, but I bet some would have.

In the actual words of my GM in a private response to one of the statements above):

I rolled this (perception) for the other Paladin that was nearby while the BBEG moved to his final position. He did not succeed, I didn’t roll this when the rest of the party moved closer as the BBEG was immobile and hence had +40 to his stealth check from being invisible and immobile. No-one in the party could have perceived him at this point.

For something like this we usually DO get perception checks

I am fairly sure the GM did NOT give me a penalty to AC, so lets assume it was a move action rather than a charge (and perhaps the term 'charge' was used in a descriptive sense, rather than a mechanical one).

I still feel like a surprise round issue remains and the vague description of 'awareness' doesn't help. The Ultimate Intrigue rules do seem to read like errata for this issue however.

I guess the voice could have been a magical effect, but I don't think it is unreasonable for my character to assume the actual person was in the room ahead...he has seen invisibility before (and knows the bad guy can use this spell) and therefore would have assumed the bad guy was invisible/obscured and up ahead somewhere. At this point he was ready for combat though.

It may seem like a small issue, but it made the difference between only me acting vs the whole party getting a turn in that first round, plus I lost any ability to complete an attack myself.

So how would I handle this in the future to avoid this happening again?

• Hide and wait for the bad guy to act, in which the bad guys always get a surprise round (my perception skill is not high enough to reliably detect an invisible enemy)?
• Move forward and still incur the readied action in the 'surprise round' without being able to retaliate myself?
• Something else???

Is there a way to trigger initiative, knowing combat is imminent (both me as a player and my character are prepared for this), without incurring a surprise round?

From memory we were taking the guard to the surface to get him help, then the bad guy says something along the lines of:

'leaving so soon? I'm afraid it is time to end this'

at which point my Paladin charges (moves) toward the voice.

We were situated in the second last room of the dungeon and it was a straight line to the stairs heading up to the surface. The voice came from in front of us though the space between the 2 last rooms had fog in between.

I guess my thoughts were that to be surprised you had to be in a state of unpreparedness, not prepared and charging in to combat (or at least a situation where you were prepared to start combat). Kinda think that is all built in to the term 'surprise'.

The way it was put to me was this was like a horror movie, where you have the victim in a dark room who knows the bad guys is out there, but he creeps up from behind anyway and takes the victim by surprise, but I think this analogy works better for a rogue using stealth and sneak attack more than surprise mechanics.

I'm pretty sure the "awareness" for surprise rounds is covered by the Ultimate Intrigue rules on Skills in conflict. Since the baddie is invisible but the good guys are aware of his presence due to his voice and announcing himself, he wouldn't get a surprise round. If the baddie had attacked without announcing it, the good guys would get their perception vs. stealth for the surprise round.

Just found the 4 states of awareness thing from UI. Was not aware of these rules and they are very interesting, not just the perception ones!

So going by these rules I would have fallen in to:

and the surprise round would have been negated, unless I am reading that wrong.

Your charge began initiative.

He can ready an action only if he beats your initiative.
He can AoO, if he has reach and is not flat footed or has a suitable class feature [like rogues do] allowing it.
You can charge in a surprise round. PRD under Full Round action is Charge[4]. The note is "4 May be taken as a standard action if you are limited to taking only a single action in a round." Full details on charge here.

You, however, cannot charge an invisible creature because "If you don't have line of sight to the opponent at the start of your turn, you can't charge that opponent."

To make this work, you need to succeed at a perception check to locate the bad guy. That gives you LoS. Now you can charge, and it is a surprise round. However, if his initiative is better than yours, he could do something to avoid your charge, or ready an action for it.

/cevah

Cool. But I would definitely get a perception check to grant me awareness of the bad guy and therefore negate the surprise round, right?

Good point.

That being the case, my guy would have taken a full move action forward prepared for combat.

Yes, he wanted combat to begin, but no, he wouldn't be stupid enough to put himself at risk by 'charging'/running without a clear target.

The centre of the room we were heading too was perhaps 60 feet away, so there would be no value to actually charging without a target knowing I could not resolve an attack at the end anyway, and I wasn't trying to get to any specific point in the room (which means additional movement was not a priority or needed in this case).

The only thing that then would have changed is that I wouldn't have had the AC penalties from charging when the bad guy made is readied attack on me (I think).

Cool - and Thankyou.

I can live with that, though I would have preferred to just roll initiative before I started charging, which to my thinking was the moment when combat actually started.

I would have taken the readied attack on my paladin, but then could at least have done something useful in that round.
Just seems a little counter intuitive to begin fighting only to be told I cant actually attack when I know the guy is somewhere up ahead even if i cant see him.

So to my thinking it would have been a normal combat round (not surprise):

1) Me charge
2) Bad guy delivers readied attack from invisibility once I am in range
3) I resolve my charge attack normally, once I can see him, or roll miss chance if he stays invisible etc.

I also think I should have at least have got a perception check to detect he is there, perhaps with a bonus because I actually heard his voice in the room ahead and already knew he had utilised invisibility previously.

Thems the breaks though and the GMs rules as he sees fit.

At last nights game I had something come up and I am really not sure of the correct way to handle this. will try to be as general as possible to avoid spoilers.

So the question is as follows:

My paladin has heard the bad guy, but cant see him (he is invisible). He decides to charge towards the 'voice' to attack.

At this point initiative has not been rolled.

As soon as he is in an adjacent square to the bad guy, the GM unleashes an attack on my paladin (unclear on whether this was meant to be a readied action or an AoO, but I think readied action).

I felt that at this point my paladin should be able to complete his charge and attack the bad guy, but my GM ruled that this was a surprise round and I was surprised, and therefore could not complete my action (or more accurately ruled that my movement was my whole action for this 'round').

The surprise rules are fairly vague, stating only that you need to be aware of your enemy and I am honestly not sure of what was correct here.

Also, after all this occurred we then rolled initiative and proceeded with the battle.

Please help me :)

4 reasons really:

1) Lack of spare $$$ (I did manage to complete my Runelords set though).

2) Falling Australian $ against the US

3) two words 'Australia' & 'Shipping' (costs...well, that's 3 words....!)

4) My friend bought it. So now I have RotRL and He has S&S. should be able to sort out playing between us. As an aside - he only knew about it from me though, so we are even - 1 in and 1 out :)

Jaynay

1) Is there any way to convert it into a HTML document like a Wiki and upload it? I guess that's what you meant with export, and that it's not in yet?

2) Also, does the GM version include the Player version? (AKA, I'm the GM in my campaign, but can I then use the same program as a player in another?)

3) You mention "player notes" does that mean players can add their own notes to things? For example, they meet and I reveal "Malcom McSuspicious" but they don't really know anything about him yet. They suspect through clue linking that he might be the head of a local gang of cutthroats, but have no proof whatsoever, it's mostly a gut feeling of the players. Can they now add "possible leader of the gang" to it, or would I have to do it? (Because if I do it, it kinda gets an "official" touch, and they might take it as Word of God even if it was totally wrong)

4) To actually use and sync with the Player Edition, I gotta have the Cloud service too?

1) Not currently but there has been multiple requests for exporting data, and I believe it is on their roadmap (more info about the recent feature request survey here)

2) Yes - If you have the GM version, you can use that to connect as a player in another game.

3) I believe the players enter notes themselves. Those notes will also hyperlink to revealed topics if relevant.

4) If the GM of the campaign has the cloud, the players do not require cloud access/subscription to sync IIRC (I only use the GM version).

I recommend this program - I just started a kingmaker game via D20Pro and Teamspeak, with Realm Works managing our campaign info. The hyperlinking is so good...you no longer have to remember where you put the notes for that blacksmith 3 towns back. If it is in Realm Works it is only a click away.

ok - so I should probably explain a bit further.

No, a level 6 monk does not qualify for Vital Strike,but we are running a heavily modified E6 campaign whereby we continue to accrue feats, including custom feats that increase things like BAB etc.

So, my Monk is level 6, but has accrued 3 additional feats (in place of progressing to Level 9). The first 2 feats I picked are custom ones that increase BAB by +1 each (and this feat can only be taken twice), then I added Vital Strike.

Next up is clustered shots!

But, yeah, it is a little complicated but we were aiming for a E6-E8 campaign, with custom feats boosting us up a little over 6th level in terms of power.

True, true but I am playing a Zen Archer monk which gives Weapon Specialization as a bonus feat at level 6.

Works very nicely in an E6 campaign.

Thankyou for your help Chaoseffect :)

Real quick thread - just need someone to have a glance over my critical damage outputs.

Current base damage 1d8+4 (Longbow+2 with weapon specialization) and I have the feats, Point Blank Shot (+1 Damage within 30ft), Vital Strike (extra damage die/d8 on a standard attack) and Deadly Aim (-2 to hit, +4 damage).

Long bow critical damage is 19-20/x3 (thanks to Bracers of Falcon's Aim)

So I have worked out my basic critical rolls to be:

Critical - Basic Attack
3d8+12

Critical - Deadly Aim
3d8+24

Critical - Point Blank Shot
3d8+15

Critical - Vital Strike
4d8+12

Critical Combined - Deadly Aim & Point Blank Shot
3d8+27

Critical Combined - Deadly Aim & Vital Strike
4d8+24

Critical Combined - Point Blank Shot & Vital Strike
4d8+15

Critical Combined - Deadly Aim & Point Blank Shot & Vital Strike
4d8+27

Are these numbers correct? Have I missed anything?

Thankyou for your help :)

Page count is 494 (the same as the hardcover only), so I would hazard a guess it does not.

How easy would the Paizo kingdom building rules fit in to this campaign?

Endzeitgeist's review does mention sandboxy content, i just haven't had a chance to dissect this book yet and wondered if this would be a good fit?

I found one Here

Holy moley - so glad I backed this.

KS projects can sometimes be of, ahem 'variable' quality (in terms of the physical product...luckily all the KS projects I have backed have content which has been pretty awesome), but this looks amazing.

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme :)

Thankyou both :)

Other than emailing customer service, how do I contact a mod for the messageboards?

It amazes me that, after 5 pages of comments complaining about the lack of updates, when we get an update, those same people complain that it isn't good enough. Surprise surprise.

We've been given a timeframe for the next instalment, and art previews to show work is still being undertaken on book three. It has also proved wrong the cynics that said Gary had disappeared into the wide blue yonder with our money. We just need patience. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the books incomplete until mid 2015... I've been waiting a lot longer for 'The Winds of Winter'.

In five years time after finishing play on an epic and original campaign we will look back and have totally forgotten a years delay. The series, the company, and Gary will be remembered for the quality of the product first and foremost, and that will determine the success of future kick starters. Whatever the nay-Sayers may think.

Provided the quality is there Gry can take as long as he likes, in fact I'd say it is imperative he does so. The reaction to his update only goes to show why he would stay away - a number of posters using any comment as a reason to launch an attack. Who wants to work in that environment. The surest way to guarantee defensiveness is to go on the offence.

For my part, I'm not complaining about it being late. I'm complaining about not being kept in the loop.

The delay doesnt matter to me at all. What bothers me is promising one thing and then not explaining why when you change your undertaking. (I dont understand why I havent gotten book one yet, for example - I dont really care that I havent gotten it yet, I care that he hasnt told me why).

/Agree wholeheartedly.

Delays are par for the course on Kickstarter, but keeping your backers (financiers!) in the loop is a small courtesy, forgotten by many (but not all - I wont mention any names, but a certain other high profile RPG Kickstarter has been WELL OVER 12 months late, but kept it's backers informed about progress and delays along the way. Only now are they starting fulfilment, but with good communications a multitude of 'sins' are easily forgiven).

I still have concerns that are not fully alleviated by the update, but my position appears to be the same as Steve's...Delays are actually OK (and somewhat expected), just talk to us so we don't have to worry about it unnecessarily.

Is it possible that this update is only being posted now (close to the deadline for the project - March 2014) to satisfy kickstarter criteria that delayed projects need to keep backers updated?

I hate to think it, but posting this update, now, could be just a way to keep kickstarter at bay if serious questions are asked by backers about the likelihood of this project being completed (especially this close to the estimated completion date).

Maybe I am just being too cynical/suspicious...?

I gotta agree with Kthulhu too. Even if this does get completed, there will be no further support from me via kickstarter, and possibly not even for completed products, given the way we have been treated us as backers.

I don't honestly know how to feel about this one.

One 1 hand I am glad for news and it rekindles my hope for the project, but on the other I have already been through all the stages of grieving and given up on the project.

I guess I will take any news as good and try to keep my small hopes alive that this will reach completion.

On the positive side - having accepted that the money I pledged was down the drain, any further fulfilment on this project will be a nice bonus :)

For those wanting psionic support check out the latest Ultimate psionics KS update!

Yeah Baby - It is getting closer now :)

Excellent and helpful link. Thankyou TheCelticCircle :)

The more I read about this stuff the more I am interested.

I am even thinking about DM'ing/setting up a RP heavy game myself (our real life 'in person' game is pretty combat heavy, though we do mix it up from time to time).

Just 1 more question though - Is it considered 'bad form' to start a non-Pathfinder game on these boards?

I was thinking about World of Darkness. I love Pathfinder, but I want to try something new and the new WOD stuff makes me salivate.

*Edit* I now see this is the wrong forum for this thread. Is it possible for a mod to move it to the correct location please?

Thankyou for your response Ghost!

Yes, I have been looking through the other threads and I see what you mean...lots of variety and they set the guidelines quite well.

Appreciate knowing the selection process stuff and that I may not get picked. Helps to know this to set the (my) right expectations.

Aah - I see the dice roller. Very clever :)

Hi all,

I hope this is the right place to post this query (if not, could a moderator please move it).

So recently I have been feeling the desire to exercise my 'player' side again. With kids etc. and living in Australia, and online game via VTT just wasn't going to work for me, but a friend (Actually one of my players and the guy who got me in to D&D way back when) has played a bunch of games via PBEM games and I thought I would look in to it.

So, yeah - Thankyou for taking the time to read this and thankyou in advance for any advice you could give me as a newbie to PBP.

Jaynay27.

Has anyone received the Way of the Wicked PDF's they purchased as a backer of Throne of Night yet?

Yeah - Got my WotW Pdf's in short order after the KS (Via DTRPG).

Still - The kickstarter model of malleable delivery dates continues to hold true. Grrrr.

And I agree with Umarian. Delayed products is forgivable, Lack of communication is not.
Generally I am pretty forgiving with KS deadlines as that is the nature of the business model, just keep me informed please!

*edit* just checked my emails and the email notification for the WotW PDFs was dated 6 June.

For the record I co-DM a campaign with 6 players (ranging from 1 new player, several moderately experienced players, 2 players who have a strong understanding of the system, 1 DM who is very experienced and me, who is a moderately experienced player/DM).

Most of the players have been playing since 3rd D&D edition, with a few of us playing since 1E (intermittently).

We started with vanilla Pathfinder and wound up our campaign last year at around 15th level (from memory).

So, then we decided to play RotRL anniversary and my co-DM suggested E6 rules. I was very hesitant about the whole thing, for fear of breaking the system, but we agreed to let the players choose.

ALL 6 players said they were keen to try it.

We didn't pressure or coerce them - just stated what it would entail and they all voted in favour of E6.

I gotta give some credit to my players - they are not mindless idiots who need to be told what to do. In fact several of the players understand the mechanics way better that I do (although my co-DM has a very good understanding too).

We aim for a co-operative game where everyone can have fun and letting the players direct part of how they want the game run is part of that.

Oh - and for the record (again) we have no problems running high level games, in terms of the mechanics/concepts. The last campaign wrapped up, with a over-the-top set piece battle involving epic level characters (level 60...completely broken, mind you) battling gods and demons. High level play is not scary, just 'bloated' (that's the best word I could come up with. Just complex and time consuming, but not any more difficult).

Not saying E6 is superior or the 'best' system, but it might be the best system for our group of players.

thankyou :)

Love the products and the whole line generally, but cant continue with poor Aussie $ and shipping costs.

Please cancel my AP subscription.

Will probably just purchase the PDFs from now on.

Let me first say that I love the Pathfinder Adventure Path subscription I have.

The problem for me is that I live in Australia and the shipping fees, in conjunction with the falling Aussie $, is making is very expensive for me and I am tempted to cancel the subscription altogether.

I know you guys can't do anything about the international money market and exchange rates (or can you...?), but have you considered having a option to keep subscribing, and hold all volumes until the AP is complete, then ship them all together?

I would be prepared to keep paying monthly, receive access to the pdf's when they release, but hold the volumes to ship all at the end (i.e 2 bulk shipments/year approx).

I am sure this would save me a bit in shipping, based on previous orders and the costs associated with single larger shipments.

Well - not sure if this is, or could be an option, but it would certainly save me from what appears to be an inevitable cancellation request in the future.

Cheers,
Jaynay27.

Wow - that was quick!

Thanks heaps for the response :)

Ultimately I may be able to get both (work is changing our holiday pay system as we are getting pro-rata - woohoo!), but it might arrive after the KS ends, and I don't want to miss out on exclusive KS gear (whether that is the 32 page adventure or the WotW book 7).

Well, this adventure path looks pretty good, and the reviews are positive, both for the individual parts and overall.

Looks like $60 is as far as my budget will stretch at this point.

I have looked at the new kickstarter (which also looks very interesting) but I cant afford both. So it looks like it is better the devil you know, and I think I will get the WotW PDF's.

I have a few questions.

1) Will part 7 of this AP (from the KS) be commercially available once completed, or is this a KS exclusive?

2) Will the Throne of Night AP be available for non-KS backers? Is the price likely to be in line with what I see here ($10 per PDF)?

3) (Sorry if this seems overly miserly or cheap, but I don't have unlimited funds) - Given $10 per PDF price here =$60 total, would it not be better for me to back the KS @ $1 level then add the $57 for the WotW Pdf's (Saving a whopping $2!!!). The REAL reason for this question relates to the $32 page adventure at the $40000 level on the KS. As I plan to eventually get the Throne of Night AP, I want the 32 page adventure too, but again, can't really afford both this and the WotW book 7 at the same time. Might be able to stretch a few dollars for the bonus adventure though, given this appears to be an exclusive.

4) Part of the reason I actually do like buying on Paizo is the ability to re-download files in case of bad things happening on my computer. If I WAS to be able to back the KS, would there be a download service in place to re-download files etc, should I need to? (I know this is getting a bit off-topic - sorry). Ideally, I would like to receive delivery via Paizo...are there any plans for this?

Sorry for all the questions and thankyou for your time :)

Jaynay

Well this book looks mega-interesting.
So - what is the deal with pre-ordering? Is the PDF included if you pre-order only?
Thankyou :)

More than likely, Lone Wolf will do what they do with Pathfinder books and Hero Lab. When an AP comes out they will offer the Realm Works files for them at a price, probably something around $10.

I could see that happening, and also that is a good way to ensure content does not get distributed illegally too.

I just hope it is $10 for each entire AP (for example) as it could get quite costly ($120 extra/year!!!)

then again - what is to stop someone just buying the Realm Works files for the reduced price?

I would prefer to have a purely digital subscription (as noted above) and if that is not possible, then a small add on cost to the current AP cost (like $5 for each module - still $60 extra a year!)

This would in turn make the AP price go up for print products as they would order less, which would put a bigger burden on the PDF subscription, raising that price. Because of the high prices, people would cancel their AP subscription, making the order number lower and raising the price for both even more. which means more people would quit, price would go up, more would quit, price would go up, ad nausium.... Vic has discussed this before.

Fair comment. I don't actually want to stop getting the physical books, but space and shipping costs are going to be the deciding factors eventually. I am sure I am not the only one out there with this issue (especially for shipping international) and subscription will drop anyway if the price increases. Everyone has their limits.

Having said that - current AP is $22.99 + shipping. with Pathfinder advantage that comes down to $16.10 (roughly) + shipping.

If Paizo introduced a digital only option as detailed above (or close to) I would be prepared to pay, say - a flat $20/month.

I am just looking for options here. Perhaps they could add this as a premium content option for existing AP subscribers (say $5 extra a month). they could even add an option to waive physical product shipping.

I still think there is merit in this sort of content and hopefully Paizo will consider these sorts of options.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here goes (please move me, if this is the wrong place).

I am a recent convert to Pathfinder and I love the adventure paths (started with Skull & Shackles, but bought Kingmaker and RotRL anniversary ed.). The quality of the physical books and overall writing is fantastic.

My group has also been using Herolab for sometime and also been following the Realm Works program development, and now the kickstarter).
Realm Works

I plan on running all my campaigns through Realm Works once it launches.

Thing is - as much as I like the AP books/subscription, I don't have unlimited storage space and the shipping costs are becoming prohibitive.
The recent price hike on the AP shows how Paizo is being impacted by increased costs too.

So - here is my idea (which you guys may have had already):

What about a purely digital AP subscription, consisting of PDF, Realm Works files, and perhaps Herolab portfolios?

Now I know Paizo has a good relationship with Lone Wolf Development and I see this as a real growth area.
Plus it would save me a TON of time using copy-paste and messing around with images/maps etc.

I mean - I would be prepared to pay the same the same price for this service - You guys wouldn't have physical production costs, and I wouldn't have to pay shipping! Win-Win!

Thoughts?
