Agreed and why I have sent a note to the tech team to make sure it doesn't happen again. For the past several years, the last four scenarios of a season have debuted at PaizoCon. That means the June releases are held a week or so later than usual but the July scenarios are released several weeks early. My apology for the confusion that was caused by the release date that was listed.
Mike,
While I appreciate that some things happened that were perhaps out of your control, it's very unfortunate that the way Paizo has decided to handle it is by further inconveniencing everyone.
There are several posts here and on Facebook stating that this release structure has been in place for years, but seemingly no acknowledgement that there might be new people who have no idea what Paizo's normal battle rhythm is. I, for one, didn't know that Paizo, Pathfinder, Pathfinder Society, or PaizoCon even existed until late 2013; I certainly didn't know that Paizo tried to hold last 4 scenarios until PaizoCon. It should have come at no surprise to you or anyone at Paizo that scenarios with release dates prior to the convention were scheduled by organizers across the country.
In the future, Paizo should consider dealing with an accidental mistake in a way that doesn't leave their volunteer organizers scrambling to compensate. As it was, my local group had less than 36 hours to figure out what to do with a table of players.
