I just wanna play a clearly-snakey snake person 'v' I was only allowed to pick one picture, so I went with most-interesting (to me, personally), but stay tuned! The Nagaji are extremely varied! :D
Just to clarify for everyone, all of the streams in the above schedule will be available to watch free of charge/ticket on our Twitch channel at twitch.tv/officialpaizo! The streams will later be uploaded to our YouTube channel for those who are unable to make the live event, as well! (I don't have an exact ETA on when they'll be uploaded, but they will be Soon™ after PaizoCon) For those that hate the manual math labor of time zone conversions, our PaizoCon Discord (also free and requires no ticket!) handily has a section for the PaizoCon Online Panels, which includes a channel for each online event wherein the pinned post should display the time it will be available in your time zone (or, more specifically, whatever time zone your device is in).
I love that Raychael has a Nadja but no Guillermo Hilariously, Nadja came with that name (my partner and I were considering it no matter what, so it was pretty serendipitous) and was in a litter with Laszlo, Nandor, and Colin Robinson! Poor Guillermo...
(2) why learn a new system?I know approximately 12 systems, and I'm not some MIT polymath or anything. I personally enjoy learning new systems, but a lot of my 5E group doesn't have the time/inclination to dive into a different systems (understandably!), so I'm ridiculously excited to have the ability introduce them to Pathfinder adventures without the task of teaching/learning a completely different set of rules. It's rough working for a TTRPG company that makes so much cool stuff while your dedicated group plays a different system! (also, hi friends, if you happen to see this comment since I immediately linked this in our group chat as soon as it was live)
How do we share the digital copies of the Core Rulebooks with others for the Ukraine bundle if we already own our own copies? You should receive a redemption code via email that you can share with anyone (who has/makes a Paizo account)! Codes are one-time use. There's instructions on how to redeem the code on this post here.
<3 I absolutely want discussions to continue in the subscription/announcement threads, the only thing we didn't want was order issues posted on the forums! I promise everyone in CS is just as charming and friendly via email as they are on the forums. :P
FWIW, literally, the only tangible change that was made is that we're not addressing customer account/order problems on the forums anymore. The main reason for that, as both Tonya and Logan stated, is because such a vast majority BOTH posted on the forums and emailed us. The other is the aforementioned privacy concerns. There's always been a number of posts on the forums that had to be addressed via email anyway because it involved personal information. The subscription threads will continue to be maintained in the Announcements forum, as well as any other customer-service related messaging, as we've done in the past. The ticketing system we're using is proper ticketing system from our end (they're not just going to an email inbox that we have to sift through) and a submission system from the customer's end is something that can, potentially, be implemented in the future. THAT SAID, nothing I've said above addresses most of Yoshua's concerns, so please don't think I'm being dismissive of them! They're just out of my scope and ability to do/say anything about. :) Hopefully that explains things a bit? This was a change that was requested by the CS team in order to streamline our workload, not to suppress discussions, but I understand why that would be the first thought.
Working on getting the auth started right now! As a note, no luck getting more products in, so the only releases for December are Lost Omens: City of Absalom and Lost Omens: Monsters of Myth. APs, maps, and accessories are still stuck in a cargo container, unfortunately! As of right now, we'll be moving the rest of the products over to January. Apologies for the inconvenience! We're just as frustrated by this as anyone else!
Does that include the extra 3-5 days that packages are expected to take now for the holidays? Currently, we're working within USPS's domestic holiday cut-off dates located here and the current plan is to get subscriptions shipped by the cut-off dates! We sent an email out to all subscribers earlier, but I'm also going to post it here for information: "Due to ongoing port delays, the fulfillment window and product mix for the December releases is in flux, but we expect to generate subscription orders early next week and begin shipping subs out soon after that. The products guaranteed for December release are Lost Omens: City of Absalom and Lost Omens: Monsters of Myth. We are hoping Pathfinder Adventure Path #174: Shadows of the Ancients, Pathfinder Spell Cards: Secrets of Magic, Starfinder Adventure Path #43: Icebound, Starfinder Spell Cards, and Starfinder Flip-Tiles: Space Station Corridors Expansion will be included as well, but they may need to wait until January 2022." Order generation date is set for Monday, December 6th right now and we'll continue to update as things progress and/or change!
I'm hoping to have a more permanent answer for everyone sometime today, once the powers-that-be make decisions based on what we've received and what we haven't! We're just waiting on the aforementioned information so that we have a firm update that we can also email to subscribers. So probably not getting for Christmas? The dates above are still in line with domestic shipping cut-off dates for Christmas (international is always a weird one at the best of times), which we're definitely going to be trying for!
Hey everyone! Update regarding subscriptions for this month (we'll also get an email together to send out to everyone ASAP, since not everyone reads these threads)! Unfortunately, we have some products still stuck in ports (likely due to a combination of continuing shipping issues, holidays, and COVID), so we're going to be pushing the release date out by a week, and, subsequently, the order generation and fulfillment dates. Apologies for the delay! We were hoping we'd get the rest of our products this week, but since that doesn't look to be the case, moving it out looks to be the best option. New dates are currently as follows: •Authorization (Order Spawning) Date: Friday, December 3rd
Dates are still a little tentative and might change by a day or two, depending on business needs, but if you have any questions, please let me know!
As a self-proclaimed cat-apologist, everyone's cats are perfect angels who deserve love, consensual scritches, and treats in their flavor of choice. *Post approved by my own cats, Willow, Ripley, and Nadja, who further claim they are starving and never get any treats ever. <.<
If people are going to be at risk of currently losing access to their Paizo accounts, I hope we get a clearer standard of what behavior is and is not acceptable. I don't agree with a policy that seeks to silence and punish speech simply because it offends some portion of the population. In this very thread, you can find posts that are critical of religion which some people may find offensive. However, those posters are not facing suspensions or bans. I don't understand where the line is being drawn. Who is it okay to offend? What speech is protected? Am I going to lose access to my Paizo account simply for raising these types of questions? Honestly, I'm of the opinion that this is a bad faith argument. However, in an effort to prevent further questions of this type, here you go. People are NOT opinions. I struggle to understand what possible, hypothetical post someone might make about our trans community members that would erroneously get someone suspended (suspended, not banned, you still have your account, purchases, heck, you can even continue to read the forums). I'm willing to guess that some people may be concerned that we're going to start suspending folks for actual opinions, like if magic or martial classes are best. Don't worry, we're not "Posts that contain content that endorses hatred or violence on the basis of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, sexuality, or for any other reason are not welcome on paizo.com." We're very specifically calling out transphobia because it's been a recurring issue and also isn't specifically mentioned in the above. I promise, unless you go out of your way to be transphobic in your posts, you're fine. Enjoy the products, enjoy the games. But our trans community members are as valid as ANYONE else and we're not going to subject them to hate. As for the posts about trans people and religion, it's less about religion and more about how people use religion. There's an important distinction.
Just wondering what is the difference between permanent suspension and a ban? Suspension means that you can no longer post on the forums, but you still have your account, purchases, etc. A ban removes access to everything and you're no longer able to log into your Paizo account.
As Tonya mentioned in a previous post, we DO have other things in the works for the forums, and we've been reading your threads on what you want to see in moderation/community/etc. We have a lot of people helping us keep an eye on this particular thread in order to keep it a safe and transparent place, but as a caveat: We're going to mess up, we're going to miss things. I don't want our current, "email us if something is terrible" policy to be permanent (we recognize it's unfair to expose you all to it), but in the meantime, THANK YOU.
It's pretty simple. Trans women are women, trans men are men. Their existence is not up for debate or discussion and dissent to that has no place here.
Sorry if I missed the announcement elsewhere, but did the price increase on the "Absolam, City of Lost Omens book?" It looks like the MSRP price is $54.99. I see the Guns & Gear book had a $49.99 MSRP, the same as the other bigger books. I'm guessing the price increased (though I don't see a similar increase for "Lost Omens: Monsters of Myth." I'm not privy to pricing discussions or the like, BUT Absalom is a little less than twice the size of Guns & Gears, page count-wise (looking at both PDFs), if that helps!
So, the biggest problem with this is we absolutely do not have the staff to enforce it. The best option, frankly, is to shoot us an email with all this information (community@paizo.com is probably best), so that it can be passed along to the people who can actually make concrete changes that would allow better moderation.
You all deserved and continue to deserve literal worlds better than this. <3 I'm just so sorry we weren't aware of this beforehand! <3 Please give all your love and support to Heather and Logan; they've done a lot more than I have in regard to forum moderation (it's not my area of expertise, to say the least, and I didn't want to make things worse) and pushing for ways to better the community within our limited (although not as limited as we thought) capacity.
So this 'found a way' today sounds like an excuse for why it wasn't implemented even though it was known by the team. Just a tiny clarification, most of us (CS) were unaware this was the case (suspension vs. banning). Likely due to the fact that our moderation training was limited (big focus was on our email backlog, for obvious reasons) and we were only really getting into adding it to our tasks when all this kicked off. *insert upside down smiling emoji*
Okay, hopefully final update on dates! •Authorization (Order Spawning) Date: Monday, November 29th There's a very quick turnaround from order generation to shipping due to Thanksgiving (US), but we'll be sending out an email ASAP to those of you subscribed to the above subscription lines. Please ensure that your default address and payment options are correct before order generation, if possible! Obviously, we'll do our best to ensure that things are fixed before shipping, but checking the above will cut down on potential problems.
Another (tiny) update for December: •Authorization (Order Spawning) Date: Moved:
I'm not expecting any other product changes for December, but never say never, so I'll continue to update if anything changes between now and then!
Just letting everyone know that the subscription orders for the society scenarios has been fulfilled! If you didn't receive your scenarios and you have a Pathfinder and/or Starfinder Scenario subscription, please email us at customer.service@paizo.com
Hey folks, running the digital subscription order creation currently; those of you with Starfinder or Pathfinder Society Scenarios should be receiving order confirmation emails!

Hey folks, just a couple updates for December! Release date was pushed out a week so the following dates are now applicable: •Authorization (Order Spawning) Date: TBD (working out the optimal day to do order generation so that we can address any issues prior to shipping beginning)
