Needing to reduce the amount of space I have for gaming storage. Looking to sell the entire 1E AP line and the companions. I know I could put them on ebay individually or per AP but does anyone know where I could get rid of it all at once?

So, I have been playing the Shadowrun PC games and am about halfway through Hong Kong. The character of Kindly Cheng makes me want to start a campaign based in Absalom with the party as new gang members. I am curious if anyone has tried making a campaign similar? I am still trying to think of all the logistics and a possible overall ploy.

Looking for anyone's input on how that might play out.

Like the subject says looking for some players around the London area.

I just received Order 3855856 and a book got messed up. I got The Inferno Gate and Heaven Unleashed (which I didn't order) but no Armor Master's Handbook (that I did order).

Thank you,

Just got the soon to be shipping notice for this. However, I had placed an order a little while back for some PDF's and Isles of the Shackles and the Shackles Map Folio. They were put into my sidecart. I just wanted to make sure that they were going to ship as well. Please let me know. Thank you.

Must have it!!!!

I've always been a bit of a lurker and my total post count is rather pitiful. However, I wanted to hop in and say a few things about my experience with Paizo and their customer service.

Since before Dungeon and Dragon went the way of the Dodo I have been subscribed for something from Paizo. That has been a few years back now and during that whole time I have contacted customer service 3-4 times. For me that seems an excellent number. I've had more screw ups from places that I've bought a handful of things from.

Most recently I had an issue with an order I placed for the Great Golem sale. Nothing bad just a bit of delayed shipping. (Which with a sale this big is to be expected, I know) Still I was starting to worry and so sent a quick email just to check to make sure everything was going smoothly especially since it was such a great sale.

I got my reply today that said as I noted the warehouse was super busy but that my wait time did seem a bit long and would be checked up on. The customer service rep who I believe is possibly Dora's cousin or something. Was understanding, polite, and up front. This has always been the case each time I've had a problem since I first subscribed.

I also do a great deal of customer service and I marvel at how simple and straight forward Paizo deals with my problems. I wish more places could be so forthcoming and prompt with replies. So I just wanted to express my thanks to Paizo, my most recent helper Diego, and all the other CSR's that have ever helped me with a problem.

Sometimes it's the little things that can change a whole day for the better. Thank you.

I think at some point I saw a template or something along the lines of Elder/Primal/Legendary that could be added and give you a Elder Shark or whatever. Now however I cannot seem to find this anywhere right now.

Could someone who has better Foo than me point me in the right direction.

Hi, I received my order today and as always was greatly pleased with the material. However, for the first time ever one of the books fell apart on me. I was reading Wrath of the Righteous Part 1 and when I got to page 18 the whole front from page 1-14 came out. I tried putting it back in but it will not hold. Is there a way to fix it or do I just need to purchase a new book? Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thank you for your time in addressing this matter.

You're just trying to get me into trouble, aren't you?

If my wife finds out there's a goblin mini she doesn't have, I'm going to have problems.

First off thanks for looking/helping. I have a new player that is wanting to play a Elemental Air Bloodline Sorcerer. He has stated that he wants to stick to the Elemental theme to an extent while still allowing for being useful with battlefield control and damage if need be.

We rolled for stats

Human
Str 11
Dex 16
Con 14
Int 14
Wis 12
Cha 20

He will be joining my regular group which is currently at 5th lvl and consists of

Kitsune Rogue 5
Half-Elf Cleric 4/Fighter 1
Sylph Witch 5
Fetchling Rogue 5
Half-Elf Ranger 4/Sorcerer 1
Aasimar Paladin 5
Human Wizard 4/Magus 1

No one is really optimized just new players having a good time. Normally I wouldn't ask for help but I have never really played Sorcerers and with the limited spell selection I don't want to gimp him.

So if anyone would be willing to lend me a hand with spells, feats, and maybe even gear I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Yeah I gave in earlier... watched it for a while now... but there is just no way I could pass it up with that many minis... now I just have to learn to paint a wee bit better so they will actually look good.

My wife may kill me when they get shipped in. If so your all welcome to fight to the death over them as my dried out husk watches.

EDIT: Wow... First reply never managed that before.

I have been looking for a large flat storage case/carrier to keep all my maps in but haven't been able to find anything of the proper size.

Does anyone here have any idea where I can find one?

Well my 2 and 1/2 year old son has been waking up recently and not being satisfied until the wife or myself lay down with him long enough to go to sleep.

The funny thing is when my wife told our neighbor his wife stated that it's because I have D&D minis and books in the house. She assured my wife that if she would just gather all that stuff together and burn it that my son would then sleep soundly all night.

She knows this because when her son was 16-18 back in the late 70's he started having nightmares and thinking that his D&D things were talking to him. So she burnt them and he never had those problems again.

So my question is should I burn all my gaming gear or just laugh in her face?

*Joking, there is no way I am getting rid of my stuff. My son would kill me since he plays with the Gargantuan Dragons all the time. Just had to post because it was funny*

Well I am laying here on an uncomfortable hospital couch anxious as hell. My wife is asleep but I just can't calm down. In less than 10 hours I'll be a dad again. C-section in the morning. It shouldn't be a big deal I already have a beautiful daughter and fantastic boy. I don't know if it is because they are early, because they are twins, or because of the c-section but I have never been this nervous before with my other children. Just had to vent that since everyone I know here is sleeping. I'm off to read some more posts.

Well just made my second hefty purchase this year with at least two more coming. I have to say you guys put out too much good stuff. I thought I might be satisfied with just the AP but too much good stuff comes out of the other lines. I had to catch up with the companion line and should be able to keep my subscription going now. Plus the Core book and everything else coming I believe I heard my wallet scream as I looked over everything here.

I haven't even played in over 6 months and I am still addicted. I traded in a bunch of stuff at Troll and Toad since they are fairly close by just to get Pathfinder books.

*sigh* I love this place. As Lisa said in another thread this is my third place. Though I tend to lurk more than comment.

Have a great night everyone. I have to go hit my wallet with a hammer and make it shut up so I can sleep.

Well I just found out that my wife is going to be having twins! The thought makes me really happy and yet I can't help but wonder how I am going to raise four children.

On the plus side once they are all old enough I shouldn't have trouble finding a gaming group. :)

Still in shock but I had to voice it everywhere. I wish my dad had lived for just 3 more months so I could have told him. I can imagine what he would have said but its just not the same. I wish he could have known them.

Well enough of that. I am happy and worried all together.

Have a great day everyone. I know mine was.

While I have been hanging around here for a while now I don't post very often. I have seen numerous signs of Paizo being a great online community. People are generally friendly and willing to help out with almost anything.

I am posting this as a community wide thank you. Since I don't know if the party would like his name broadcast I won't use it. However, I will still tell everyone what was done and how much I appreciate it.

I had been trying to save up to get a fairly expensive item from the Paizo store. This item went into back order and I asked around about it. I was later contacted by my mysterious benefactor telling me he had purchased the product. And wanting to know what my mailing address was.

My gratitude for his actions cannot be stated. With the wedding, new house, and baby boy I doubt that I would ever have managed to purchase it but I was trying to save up.

So to the entire Paizo community and one person in particular. Thank you for being the best online community I know of.

So umm no answers?

Maybe the Aboleth already got them all? Maybe the Elder Evils?

(Runs screaming and babbling through the streets)

Ok, so I finally get CotCT #12 and SD read through them once already and going through a second time right now.

So, as I am reading I see that Earthfall was caused by an Aboleth weapon that pulled a star down and basically nuked the Azlanti.

Then I remember that Zon-Kuthon agree to be bound into the Plane of Shadow for as long as the sun hung in the sky. In return he would recieve the first shadow when he was freed.

So the Aboleth apocolypse freed Zon-Kuthon. Could it be that the entity that possessed Dou-Bral and became Zon-Kuthon could be an immense aboleth or something. It is something that just "clicks" in my mind.

It's the little details like this that make my brain kick into overdrive. I may never know if I am even close on this but it feels right and I believe it will be how my Golarian is ran.

Does anyone else see this like I do?

I have been toying with the idea of giving the players a bit of foreshadowing for just how evil the Arkonas are.

So far what I have come up with is this. Since Glorio has been "kind" to the populace in Old Korvosa, I figure he may have extended this "kindness" to some of the local women. So number of young Rakshasa(sp?) are running around Old Korvosa. I want to send the party to a orphanage where one of the little fiends was sent after the death of his parents.

So does anyone else have any ideas on how to make this work? I don't want to have the party killing children (and I know Raks age fast) and so need a way to get them interested without resorting to that.

Well, bring on the ideas!

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to get peoples opinion on what is a really good Pathfinder product to order. I already have a sub to the AP's but we are expecting my son to be born within the next two or three weeks. We have enough money to handle everything but it puts a dent in what I can buy.

So say I have $40 to spend what does everyone think would be the best things to buy. Korvosa, some minis, the gazetter... whatever. I have read a lot of different posts on the products and I can't narrow it down. So give me a hand you guys. Thanks in advance.

Well I managed to find the entry but it still doesn't answer the question. Though I would assume that the erinyes would have to "see" the subject in order to hold a telepathic conversation with them. Still thanks.

This looks fantastic. Loved the Kobold King and it has a sequel. Just reading that chat with Thuldrin Kreed got me thinking. This is going to be great. Now I just wish I could make it to Free RPG day to snag one. Oh well guess I will have to buy it like I did last year. Great stuff as always. Man I love this place.

wow I figured I would get at least one comment in a day. Oh well. I did see however that some things I mentioned did get changed. It's all cool.

My #5 just came in today and the cardboard protecting it was a bit beat up. It amounts to a bend about halfway down the spine. I was wondering if I could send it back and hopefully get one that isn't bent. I'm really not trying to be an ass about it but I admit I am picky about my books. Any information would be great thank you.

Hey just looking for some people to play in or near Richmond, KY. My old group has broken up, couple of guys moved and such. If I can't find anyone for a new group I would like to join a PbP I miss D&D. Well let me know!

I am maybe a quarter of the way through the Vale adventure and the PC's are already counting on getting the Fort. While that is something that has to be determined, I wanted some extra ideas.

So assuming they get the Fort or at least some land in the Vale what kind of adventures or other action does everyone think build from that?

(I do have some thoughts but I don't have a lot of time to devote to coming up with things. Pregnant wife gets a little "more" moody when I spend too much time with D&D)

Anyway thanks for any help.

I have to say that reading the bio really makes me want to play a paladin. That is an accomplishment in itself, though I doubt I could ever actually play it out well. I can't wait to see the next one.

While overall somewhat interesting the one thing that stood out the most in this article was something that shouldn't have. I quote, "After flipping through the pages of this article." As if I am going to spend half the $30 ink cartrige to print this using my printer.

On a good note I also caught the reference to "The Apocalypse Stone".

In the NPC priests of Desna under Krym's entry it says he has a norn-crafted relic. What is a norn??? I know you guys probably don't want to give the whole thing away so just a general description would be great.

I just wanted to know what type of terrain and locations are outside the Vale. The Vale itself is large enough for multiple adventures, (I think it's something like 1500 sq. miles) from counting it up in my head. Just curious and thanks ahead of time.

Ahem... yah I gotsta agree I know when I yell "backblast area all secure" most creatures tha knows whats good for them runs. Cause ain't no way they arnt gonna get hit.

Like I said still good product guys keep it up. I am looking foreward to seeing the whole AP. After that maybe I'll think about canceling. ;)

I just looked over my subscriptions and see that Pathfinder 1 shipped yesterday. However I had 7 issues of Dungeon remaining and originally I believe (emphasis on believe) that I had either 3 or 4 issues of pathfinder from the transition. Yet when I looked at subscriptions it says that I only have one issue left? I may not have had four from the transition but I know it was at least that my ongoing subscription would start with volume 4. So why is it suddenly starting with volume 3. I was thinking that maybe it was because the Players Guide shipped out too but I was under the impression that it didn't count. So could someone with Paizo please let me know what is going on. Thank you very much for your time.

Well I just finished reading issue 148 and overall I was pleased. My favorite adventure was The Automatic Hound lots of good stuff in there. Spinecastle was good too but mainly because of the background stuff. Mainly however I loved Wells of Darkness and was surprised in a good way by the reference to Fall-From-Grace. I would never have thought to see that name again but in was a special treat to see it. Torment was a great game and I miss the days of Black Isle giving us some great roleplaying games. Thanks Paizo for a little nostalgia of the good times.
