Twice. TWICE. Twice you have the President of Paizo admit he was the main reason for terrible actions. And, yet, he retains his job. I believe we can all figure out why he still has his job.

And it comes across as shady AF to hear that Paizo may be deleting every post by Diego. Shady AF.

For the one giant step forward Paizo took, they managed to take about 15 steps back with this post.

I don't think they're deleting every post by Diego - Tonya said one earlier today, which was part of the clean up of a digression smearing Sara. Maybe it shouldn't have gone, but it would have been out of place without the posts it was defending her against.

I didn't see one in this thread, but I could have missed it before it was removed.

That's why I said 'may be' as opposed to saying they were. :-)

Woo hoo! Good news indeed!

Cool. That's what their blurbs were making it sound like. Was just wanting to ask the people who had actually read and run it if that was true.

Woot!

I have not yet read all the AP. I am curious if everything that happens and is referenced in the path limited to just the city of Otari and the lighthouse. More specifically, if I were to uproot the city and lighthouse and drop those 2 things into a homebrew world, could I run the books as is? Or would I have to modify some things because X,Y and Z refer to Golarion specific things?

Just to add another point of information for Paizo, I received my shipment email on June 23. I received my products in the mail today, July 12. No tracking info was ever updated.

Hello there. I just added a new payment method to my account. I cannot figure out how to delete the old one. To clarify, I want to delete the card that expires in '24. I want to use the card that expires in '25. Thank you.

I might as well start punching my wallet now, so it's used to the pain.

Based on seeing the sticky post about keeping Paizo employees home as much as possible right now (which is a good policy) will this affect this month's shipments at all? I'm fine if it will. I would just like to know.

Hey James

Do all souls have to be judged first or could someone like Sarenrae step in and claim one?

Yup no order spawn email for me. I fear the gerbils fell out of the wheel over the weekend. Poor little guys.

I would like to cancel my Pathfinder Accessories sub for this month as I want the portrait screen instead.

Everything for March here still looking good?

I have to say I like having 2/3 months worth of new releases and shipping threads at any one time in the CS forum.

I was making my own cards for 1E and am glad they're making these :D

I also agree that the AP ones were pointless though.

Unikatze, can you give me a description of how you would use these cards? I'm having difficulty in envisioning the purpose you would put them to and I assume this is just a deficiency on my part.

Thanks,

Nifty

There are so many things to keep track of mechanically. It's easy to forget even the simple things that your weapon or armor can do. Much like the more mundane items of this set. It's very beneficial to have something like a card sitting right in front of you with all the relevant info on it.

I've never emailed CS before. I did a couple of days ago. My question is this - about how long should I expect to wait for a reply? Just so I have a rough idea. I have no time frame reference for this. This is not an attack at CS. It's me being curious.

Hello there. I am running a 2e mini campaign for friends with the purpose of all of us learning the rules and whatnot. To that end I would like to have sessions and encounters designed to focus on the high points of their classes.

They are a monk, champion, ranger and cleric.

I kind of have something for the champion as there have been and will be undead.

What are some ideas for the other classes? I plan on having a session that focuses on the ranger that involves tracking through the forest.

I added a Visa card to my account. It's ready to be used for January.

So I just received a notification that my credit card has fraud on it. I'm in the process of acquiring a new card. I have already received my order spawn email, but not the shipment email. If I change to a new card before shipment will that affect shipment as it will be a different card than order spawn?

I've been using All-Tear-In for myself.

I never found myself *really* getting into the lore in PF1. But now with PF2 I find myself wanting to read more and more myth and lore. And these Windsong Testament posts are a great boon to people like me. Thank you for writing them!

I notice that Adventures is blank right now. Has Dead God's Hand potentially been delayed?

Shouldn't this map be delayed a month so it comes out the same month as the adventure that it is paired with?

But what are the gold values next to chunk/ingot? how does that factor into the cost of crafting?

I appreciate the reply, but that is not what I'm having trouble understanding. I have a good feel for how regular crafting works. I'm stuck on how everything in the special materials adds up. To me there are things not explained. Chunks? Ingots? etc.

I come to the forum seeking answers because something is not clicking in my brain on this topic.

I understand the different grades. They are used for lower and higher level items. In looking at the various statblocks on precious materials (CRB 578) I was finally able to suss out what they meant in referring to thin items and whatnot. Awkward wording in my opinion.

I see different materials having different costs based on the grade/level if the item. But, how do those prices mix with the chunks/ingots above that?

I can't figure this out. If someone could explain this to me I would be grateful. Take me step by step.

*looks at items shipping*

*looks at wallet*

Here me baby, hold together.

So, the playtest is under way. I assume people are submitting survey answers when they have playtested something.

My question is this - will there be a 2nd version of rules to playtest? Or will we only ever have this one version before a final product?

One debate that is occurring across a few threads in this forum is should an Oracle's Curse be always on or tied to the uses of the Revelation spells?

I say put me down for the curse being always on. If it is tied to usage of Revelation spells it is too easy to opt out of a major part of the theme of the class. In PF1 curses were always on. They never increased or decreased in intensity.

I started thinking about why I liked my Oracle from 1st edition. I liked that I could create a healer that had more freedom in spell usage. Unlike a Cleric, I could cast whatever I wanted whenever I wanted assuming I had spell slots left. I was more limited than a Cleric yet I had more freedom. The curse was something that I used to help flesh out who my Oracle was. I went with the language curse because it was interesting to start speaking a language no one else in the party understood during combat.

In PF2 I still have the limited flexibility that I had in 1e. I'm good with that.

As it stands right now I can create a Life Oracle and take her to level 20 and never once get hit with a curse. At all. That doesn't seem right. Or thematically appropriate.

For the people that want curses tied to revelation spellcasting - why?

I may have been asleep at the keyboard by calling curses a major part of the Witch. Whoops. Time to use the Neuralizer on y'all.

Having said that, I like Oracle's Burden.

Good thing to think about. Also, curses are a major part of the Witch. And having something called a curse work in vastly different ways in different places would be potentially confusing.

The wording is a little awkward in this section:

you disperse positive energy in a 30-foot burst with the effects of a 3-action heal spell with a level 4 lower than that of the spell you cast.

Would hero points prevent the death from this feat?

My goodness.

I understand the theme involved. But, it is good game design to have a class feat that can potentially kill your character?

Since it appears that the GMG was pushed back to February, I am assuming this will be pushed back as well?

Nope—we don't offer PDFs of card products.

What's the reasoning behind Paizo not offering PDFs of card products? This isn't complaining, I'm legitimately curious.

In case CS is looking for errors - I received the shipment email Thursday yet never received an order authorization email.

Having answers to this question be limited to book 6 content or post campaign content is kinda, well, limiting.

I would love to see more info be given here that can be applied to the AP as a whole.

This section would be a good place to have developer's comments about the AP. Ideas and themes they were shooting for. Maybe additional mechanics for any downtime that may be experienced during the campaign.

This is a good space to flesh out the AP.

Because if you're concerned with putting things here that people who start running the AP as soon as book 1 comes out won't see, that only happens during the first 6 months of an AP's lifespan. After that, all books are available at all times. So, I'm much more an advocate for info that benefits the AP as a whole in this section.

Just now got my shipment email.

No order email for me, either.

How in the world is this *not* written by James Jacobs?

Hey James.

Yet another Sandpoint question for my upcoming Sandpoint campaign.

In order to make it feel like a living world I would like to incorporate events in the background from other APs. Mainly, I will at some point have a certain NPC go off to begin her journey. And I plan on having the start of Shattered Star happen in the background away from the PCs. Now, I would like to have the culmination of SS affect Sandpoint. My question is this - what would be a good amount of time passage for SS? 2 months? 6 months? A year? I don't have the books so I can't read to get a feel. I'm curious so I have a good idea when to have events happen.

Thanks

I just noticed that this order was shipped without any AP book. My Pathfinder AP was accidentally cancelled by Sam Phelan. It was supposedly added back in. What happened? Did I lose a discount because of this? It's also not showing up in my digital content so something is apparently wrong here.

Would appreciate help from the fantastic Paizo CS team.

Although this post may read that way, I am not mad at anyone. I'm curious as to what happened.

30% off AP books? I didn't know that. This current one in the email does not appear to show that discount for me. I have no idea about previous months.

Checking this out and PF AP 147 was discounted correctly, but for some reason I'm seeing that 148 was cancelled Sept 25th. Is that correct, or should I un-cancel it?

It was accidentally cancelled by Sam Phelan when I asked to have my Starfinder AP cancelled. Sam said they put everything back correctly.

I will put in a request for a few sample cards to be shown.

How are these cards gonna handle monsters with a lot of text and abilities like spells and whatnot? Just reference the abilities with page numbers?

Spawning more overlords, I mean authorization orders, usually takes a few days.
