I like Paizo as a company, but I have to say that the Customer Service has been been dropping the ball recently with my August order still unshipped and despite Customer Service stating it would be fixed with the October shipments, it still wasn't. With multiple communications and many delays and promises of combined shipping.

I realise that everyone is under a lot of pressure with COVID and all the other issues that are occurring in America, but quite frankly, as someone who works in healthcare throughout this entire thing with literally only 2 days off since March, I have lost all interest in being sympathetic. Sorry, but enough is enough.

That, and every item is shipped individually, which makes even each adventure path volume literally cost me twice the price to purchase and ship to Australia, it is just not viable, despite wanting to support Paizo.

The following items are still outstanding:
1. From Order 34032406 - Advanced Players Guide, Agents of Edgewatch 1 and 2, and Devastation Ark 1
2. Pre-orders for Pathfinder Beginner Box, Advanced Players Guide Spell Cards, and Bestiary 2 Battle Cards.

Please cancel all subscriptions and refund all outstanding items and pre-orders as soon as possible.

I will hopefully be able to source these items from local suppliers at a later date.

Good luck and good health to everyone.

Thanks,
Jim


Thank you for shipping my subscription order for September for which I just received an email.

However, the previous order (the first of the subscription orders) - number in this title still has not shipped.

Can you please clarify?

Thanks
Jim


Please cancel all of my subscriptions.

Thanks,
Jim


Received today.

However the Flip-Mat included is not the Starfinder Ghost Ship flip-mat (which is also on the order sheet included) but rather the Pathfinder Wizards Dungeon?

Thanks,
Jim

Basically I brought my kids into role playing after a long hiatus from it myself (old AD&D player) with the pathfinder beginner box.

We played through the entirety of Rise of the Runelords, started Kingmaker, and the finished with Wrath of the Righteous where my son “broke” the system and we stopped PF1.

My kids have learnt and played D&D 5e, Iron Kingdoms RPG, fantasy flights Star Wars RPG, Cypher system, and even a couple of OSR games.

We are currently on book 5 of Curse of the Crimson Throne, which I convert on the fly to D&D5e.

My kids were excited to play in the Playtest and see if we could come back to their first game, pathfinder.

My daughter and I sat down last night with a printed character sheet and she decided to make a paladin.

It went well at first, taking her through the various ability bits, the choosing feats for ancestry (elf). Despite the annoyances of jumping back and forth for the feats and overview, then off to spells to learn lay on hands (rather than be written in the class), working out the weapon property options for righteous ally, we were going well until we got to one of the class feat choices, which stated something along the lines of “lay of hands loses the manipulate trait”.

She looked at me and asked “what the hell does that even mean?”. No idea, probably something related to attacks of opportunity was my guess. I wasn’t even sure where to go looking.

She lost interest immediately.

We spent nearly an hour trying to do this, jumping around to look things up, using the PDF (our books haven’t arrived).

We discussed the whole thing with my son, and he basically rolled his eyes. This is the one who breaks the game with clever, essentially min maxing, so he loves systems and he said “sounds like too much work for the fun after”.

We are bowing out. Good luck Paizo, we love your APs and will keep playing them for years to come, but PF is not for us.


I started my Starfinder Adventure Path with part 5, but the latest shipment of my multiple subscription and non-subscription items doesn't include part 6 of Dead Suns?

On my Manage My Subscriptions page, the next Starfinder AP item is the first of Against the Aeon Throne.


Sent an email a week ago. Can you update on the order status please?

Thanks,
Jim


Please cancel the remainder of my subscriptions and please ship my preorder as soon as it's available.

Thanks


Please cancel the following subscriptions:
1. Adventure Card Game
2. Class Decks
3. Pathfinder Legends

Thanks,
Jim


I have an email for order 3652454 which doesn't appear on my account page but is finalised and will be shipped which is fine.

thanks,
Jim


I am very sorry about all this, I know I have asked to stop subscriptions a couple of times in the last month.

Lets just say there are game wars going on in my group at the moment which is making it hard for me to figure out whether to keep investing in Pathfinder (I am the GM).

While I love Pathfinder and especially your APs I need to stop procrastinating and put everything on hold till it all settles down (its hard seeing the new stuff coming!!!).

Sorry again for the trouble,
Jim


Please cancel all my subscriptions and remaining ordered items (includes some pre-orders).

Thanks,
Jim


Can I just clarify, as this order is now marked as cancelled?

I (regretably and with withdrawal symptoms already occurring) cancelled all my subscriptions, but still wanted all the items in the sidecart which now appear in the aforementioned order, but its status is cancelled?

Just checking,
Jim


Much as it pains me, due to a change in finances and a change in focus from my gaming group I will unfortunately need to cancel all of my subscriptions.

Please complete my existing orders (pending and Sidecart) and hopefully things will change in the (near) future.

:-(


Just a quick query. I notice the order created for the subscription items, but it also includes Ultimate Psionics which I was told was not currently available

That being the case could the subscription items ship independently of the psionics hardcover please?

Thanks,
Jim


Can i please have an estimate on availability of this book?

Thanks,
Jim


Could I please get these three orders shipped together now via USPS Priority please?

Thanks,
Jim


Could you please give me an idea when this might ship. I thought it might be included in the comic subscription order(3495729)?

Thanks,
Jim


In a couple of my orders (pending/sidecart), there are items that are for upcoming birthdays for the kids. Could I get the following items collected into one shipment and sent USPS Priority please?

- In Order 3490469 the medallions
- In Order 3487776 the plushies and the Pathfinder Volume One (as a side note I assume the Unchained in that order was cancelled due to my subscription starting?)
- In Order 3490196 the Monster Codex
- And in the sidecart Iconic Heroes #1

Sorry to be a bother,
Jim


Apologies for the possibly stupid question, but how do I see my Sidecart?

I thought I had an order for the Strategy Guide pending, but can't see it in My Orders page.

Am I missing something obvious?

Cheers,
Jim


Still waiting on word when the two print items (tsar saga and righteous heroes) will be available to ship. The order details only shows the digital components with no section for the shipping?

Jim


I sent an email requesting my order be sent, after clicking Ship as soon as possible. However many items were waiting in the sidecart, which now seems to have disappeared completely?!?

Please advise.

Jim
