Okay. I don't usually vent in public like this, but the series of issues that's been happening recently REALLY get on my nerves. First, there's the Paizo Connect issue with Demiplane, almost 6 months in after the new store opens.

Now, I was just served a bill with close to $100 for shipping a book for my subscription. I'm not sure what Paizo was doing, but I've heard nothing about this jump of over 500% in shipping price (it was less than $20 last time). I can understand paying more due to the "situations", but this jump is just ridiculous. It's even more than the cost of the book itself.

Really. Paizo. You are making this 20-year supporter rethinking about continue to support you.

Alignment is what make this game different from DND. I'm not sure what people's problems with alignments are; alignments only show the "tendency" of how a character/creature would behave and NOT 100% to the alignment description 100% all the time. It's a great tool to have and some nice "elements", other than the standard fire, cold...etc.

So, are we going to just going to get bunch of "lawful good" demons with remasters?

Hopefully this doesn't sound mean, but the fact is that there are plenty of other games, ones even better than Pathfinder, don't have alignments that you can play. If you like Paizo's setting or plot, just adapt it for that system, and not trying to change Pathfinder.

Let's hope this doesn't hit Starfinder.

"slightly different mix of monsters, spells, and magic items, the rules remain largely unchanged"

That's some weasel wording there. Why a different mix? There shouldn't be. Either it's changed, or it's not. "largely" is also an out for "ok, so there are changes [beyond errata]!"

Also, generally not a fan of a Player and GM split on books. Paizo's always done right with the CRB being one and all, then separate bestiary only. Now if you pull out the bestiary, you have all the extra baggage that isn't monsters, for instance. The "GM" book is a system-hacking baseline, and how-to-manage-people guide, really its own thing. Et cetera.

Removing alignment is also a mistake.

Is this product available to people who would like to order a case through local retail stores?
