There's a Paizo live this Friday?

Yes the Paizo Lives are the first Friday of every month, but due to unforeseen circumstances it was delayed to this coming Friday.

With tomorrow being one year since the Impossible Playtest dropped, I'm hoping for an announcement on Paizo Live this Friday.

That makes sense. I am so excited to run this encounter.

My group just started the AP, currently in the Dawnsilver workshop. Going into their first encounter with the Risen of the Trinity Star.

Also just putting this out there into the universe.

But I would love like a Runelords Anniversary PDF that has all 7 Runelords stated along with their items and Runewells(those that have them at least.) Based on the height of their power in Ancient Thassilon.

I was surprised that there wasn't a Peacock Spirit or Trinity Star themed power or ability for Xanderghul.

Especially with all the Trinity Star themed stuff in the first two volumes.

And how the Adventure Background mention that Xanderghul possessed not only his own mythic power, but also the Blood of Gorum and the Essesnce of the Eclipse of Abbadon.

I still love his stats and seeing him at full power.

Me thinks he is suffering from Delusions of Grandeur and if he does attempt to go south into the Five Kings Mountains and meets a certain Sixth King.... oh that poor Misfortune Dragon.

Ooohhhh I like that.

I read through the book last night. OMG!

I received my copy of Into the Apocalypse Archive.

Potential Spoilers below.

My order was processed around 9pm last night.
I got both Draconic Codex and Revenge of the Runelords.
And both PDFs download with no issue.. I may have then stayed up till about 4am reading... Oops.

Will subscription order processing continue through the night to tomorrow. Allowing us to get PDFs in the night? Or will it stop at end of business day and pick up tomorrow morning?

I believe so, I still haven't received my email either, my credit card doesn't even show anything pending yet.

The excitement/anxiety of waiting for that email notification.

So excited for Draconic Codex and the final part of Revenge of the Runelords. I want to see Xanderghul's stats.

Though I am starting g to thing that 1am was a possible typo, maybe he meant to put 11am PT.

Is so, then maybe we'll see something in the next hour?

Wondering myself. I saw something say 3am pst which absolutely didn't happen lol

That was me in the Bug Reports thread in response to Jim Butler's post about charges starting at 1am Pacific time, so 3am my time in Central.

Is there an update on when credit cards will be charged and PDFs released for subscriptions today?

Dear Maya,

I'm not sure if this has been addressed yet and I missed it in post, but regarding the Paizo Plus tiers. As it is not yet showing the past years $ amount in purchases to determine our Rank. Do we just need to wait for that to be fixed or do we need to email customer service to put in a ticket?

I did a quick check on my past 12 months order history and I have about $1300 in purchases.

Thank you in advance.

May the Radiant Prism smile upon you.

I really appreciate them underselling the total amount so people didn't think we were getting forty new dragons. This way, the reprints feel like an exciting bonus.

But whatever, none of that matters, vizier dragon? I need to see this...

It is decked out in red, has facial hair and it's followed by a familiar parrot named Iago.

... or at least my head cannon for this dragon will be, regardless of the actual lore.

Calm yourself, Iago.

A dragon am I?
Perhaps you'd like to see how dragon like I can be!

Follow up question on this, is it possible to know what time Paizo will charge our credit cards?

Like first thing in the morning, at noon, etc.?

Credit cards will be charged at 1 a.m. Pacific on Monday, 11/24. The exact time might vary based on where you are in the queue.

Im in Central time. So I could have my PDFs as early as 3AM my time.

GLORIOUS!!!

It sounds like we will get a mirage archdragon! I wonder what level those will be and if there will be different levels among all other archdragons.

My guess is that they will be different levels. Archdragon sounds like the new Wyrm/Great Wyrm categories from the previous edition. Could also be something to do with mythic though; that'd be awesome.

Yes Archdragons are the new Great Wyrms. And they are not automatically mythic.

Now Daralathyxl is a Mythic Cinder Archdragon.

So the Ancient Resurrection Dragon was level 17 the Resurrection Archdragon is level 23.

That is a 6 level difference.

I know that won't be the standard for all Archdragons. As the highest level is 25 and an Ancient Diabolic Dragon is level 20 so a Diabolic Archdragon would not be level 26.

So I am curious to see how Archdragons are designed.

The Mocking Dragon, also known as the Kefka Dragon in my game group.

The picture showed at Gencon screams Kefka from FF6 to us.

Holding you to this, Prince Maleus!

Wiseman say, "Meddle not in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup".

These have been guiding words for all my characters.

Maya Darling,

I just wanted to give a shout out or kudos to you. You are doing a great job with setting up the forums for blog comments and every thing else.

May the Radiant Prism smile upon you.

I swear an Oath that I would never make a Mocking remark to a Dragon.

So I am subscribed to Adventures, Adventure Paths, Lost Omens and Rulebooks.

Right now for Revenge of the Runelords: Into the Apocalypse Archive and the Draconic Codex, I am only seeing options for either add to pre-order now or add to my January 1st subscription.

How do I get these Now?
Or when will the December Subscription orders be submitted?

Tomorrow is our Paizo Friday stream.... maybe a good time to announce something most Magical and Impossible.

Still hoping they won't go with Bog Dragon, because Mire is cooler word than Bog xD

I believe the name is Bog Dragon because a Bog is a type of Mire that is Acidic.

And as the Bog is the inheriting dragon of the legacy of Black, which breathes Acid and lives in swamps, Bog is a most appropriate name.

Glorious!

I second this inquiry.

How will this affect the shipping of December's Subscriptions?

Let your requiem play as despair takes you!

I just want to start with saying that I really appreciate how up front you all about this process and the changes that are coming.

my understanding is that under the current system, your PDF is released once your box is packed and has a shipping label. Which means some people get their PDF the first day of shipping and some get it after the release date.

From reading this it looks like you guys are going to charge our cards on the first "shipping" date even if our box is not ready to go. But that also means that everyone who subscribes gets their PDF on the same day.

Is this correct?

Yep! Instead of a process where we authorize your cards a week before subscriptions start shipping, and then charge your cards when your subscription ships, our new system handles things a bit differently. We will email you a subscription reminder a week before subscriptions processes, then on Sub Day your card will be charged, you will get your PDFs, and your order is sent to the warehouse to be shipped. PDFs will process on the same day for everyone. No waiting around for your order to ship!

I 100% Absolutely Love This!

I second this inquiry?

From the sound of it, it does not fit that neatly with the reason given in Return for why Xanderghul did not arise before Alaznist got to him though.

My theory here, is that while Xanderghul did retreat into the Eye of Arrogance, he used the knowledge of Chronomancy he learned from his search for the Scepter of Ages. To place himself in a Temporal Stasis, which he set a timer for.

When Belimarius's followers came to claim his Runewell to salvage the Runewell of Envy, they destroyed his timer, when his defenses where triggered.

And when Alaznist entered the Eye of Arrogance to assassinate him, he was impervious due to being in a time bubble.
Which is why she had to use the Scepter of Ages to bypass his protections.

This theory makes the most since to me, at least until James Jacobs confirms otherwise.

I wonder what Legendary Artifacts will be in this volume?

I assume Xanderghul's Flawless Hammer and his Robes.

James said something about the Runewell of Lust so its possible that inside the Eye of Desire, that the Everdawn Pool is located there.

Any of those new Devils make appearences in Wayfinder already?

I can't comment on Wayfinder.

Of the 5 new devils. 3 are reprints from Bestiary 2 and 3. One is a reprint from an AP volume.

There is one that appears to be a brand new devil. The Ayngavhaul (Heresy Devil) is a level 13 and does not appear on AoN.

We had it back in 1e.

I don't believe that wr have our Ice Devil replacement yet.

Will these have rules for Dragon Instinct Barbarians/Dragon Sorcerers/Dragonbloods?

There will be a table in Draconic Codex that provides the effects for player options for all dragons.

Dragons most glorious!

Tis written in runic its is cinderific!

And now we know how Xanderghul returns.

The more I read of this AP, the more Xanderghul cements himself ad my favorite Evil Wizard Ever!

Also definitely need a few Xanderghul options for Paizo profile Picture. I definitely need one . :)

My watch ended at 11am or 7 hours ago. Just now getting too post here.

A most glorious day.

A Great and Glorious Authorization Day to all.
May your Crypts be filled with Runes and your Cores with Monsters.

I am so excited for these that I don't know which book I want to read first.

My Watch begins most Gloriously!

Very interested in the Cults of Thassilon

Other than the Cult of the Peacock Spirit and the Church of Lissala I don't know of any others.

Would love more info on the Peacock Spirit's Cult.

Glorious News!!
I was expecting this a week later. Happy to be wrong.

I eagerly await Draconic Blogs.

Oh Maya the Great and Glorious,
Will there be previews for Monster Core 2 this month?

I saw the post you made about Draconic Codex, just curious if MC2 will get some love prior.

Same!!!
I.would love a reprint/updated version of this for 2E
