Pathfinder Playtest Frequently Asked Questions
But I don't want to change editions! I want to play Pathfinder First Edition forever and ever and ever!

Players.

Play CRPG's, problem solved. ;)

Not happy with the coming change, but I'm thankful for being informed well in advance that Paizo would be switching product focus. Even allowing others to help form, or mold what it will eventually become (at least to some degree). Good luck with your endeavors Paizo!

The poll won't change the fact that they're moving to 2nd edition. Companies are all about making as much profit as humanly possible, while others live off of the table scraps.

For those who have spent a good deal of money on PF 1E books, and are hoping to continue to play it in the future. Players available will quickly dwindle once those books go out of print. Sure, there will be PDFs to download, but is every player willing to spend the time and money to print these books out one at a time themselves? Punching holes in each page in batches and buying binders to place them into. Spending lots of money on ink and heavy test paper just to play a game that should have never died in the first place?

For those who are about to be bit by the RPG marketing bug for the first time, just know that this is the norm, and will not get any better. Each version that comes out will either get people on board, or push them away entirely. This is the way of things, there's nothing you can do but watch how things play out.

Hello again,
I received the book in the mail today, haven't looked through it yet, just wanted to say thanks!.

Just an update: I got my replacement today, I don't know if due to the books age or what, but this one has separation at the headband as well. The side that faces you when your reading the book is fine (for now), but the opposite is clearly separated between the headband and pages, it's easy to see when you open the book half way. I'm not returning it again though, I can live with it.

lol

With the partnership shipping (cheapest possible), it all depends upon how many people have also ordered. They wait to ship until they've reached a threshold # of packages. I think I heard UPSMI waits for 100 packages. Going to Denver, that typically took a week, i.e., I'd get the "your package is due to ship in XX days" then it would actually ship in a week (and then it took another week). The UPS tracking would then begin updating (but it got hinkey once they handed off to the postal service). As a result of this, it will be different every month, too, particularly if there aren't a lot of subscribers in your area, in which case you're relying on even more people to decide they want whatever was released that month.

That's good to know Taks, thanks for the information!.

Hello again, the book has been returned and a replacement will be in next week; I'm very happy!. :D

Forty days is a long time to wait for something you've already paid for; I would be losing my patience for sure. Since there's no tracking, I would have thought it was lost along the way, and I would be getting worried. Like I said before, when buying from the States, it usually takes three weeks for the parcel to arrive.

Okay thank you for looking at the pictures; based on the separation, should I bring back the book to the store?. I want this book to last me a long time, it wasn't a cheap book by any means.

If I take it in, should I bring with me the print outs of the pictures I took also?.

I'm not asking for Paizo to do anything about it, I'll be returning the book back to the Coles book store, where I got it; I just want to know if the book I have is defective based on the pictures that I've provided; if it's not, then I'll be keeping it. I'm sorry for posting so many times, I just want the companies opinion on the matter.

I just wanted to add that I dislike returning anything unless I have good reason to. When I do return something, I always worry what the replacement will be like. I think that all "The Inner Sea World Guides" have a problem with curved covers, due to the added folded map, so that's not really an issue. It's the separation that bothers me, I have three other hardcover Pathfinder RPG Books, they are: Core Rulebook, Bestiary, and the Advanced Players Guide. None have that separation where the headband is. I don't have that issue with my D&D books either.

I'm in Ontario and the vast, vast majority of my Paizo shipments take 5 business days to arrive. Same for my most recent.

Your a lucky guy then; I'm from Cornwall, Ontario by the way. :D

I try to be patient in regards to receiving packages from the US, living in Canada. But for some reason my Paizo AP orders seem exceptionally slow, especially lately. Is there a known reason for this?

As an example, my book 6 of Strange Aeons, according to the email, should've been shipped from Paizo between Feb 8-17 by standard shipping. I received it Yesterday, 40 days after the last date of shipping.

I don't know, I understand I'm not paying for premium shipping, but the speed still seems extremely slow and I'm wondering if there is something unusual to my situation or this is a Canada standard expectations?

Hello,

All working now guys, see my previous post.

I've uploaded the images to Google Photos, that should solve that problem.

I'll have to take another picture, because the front cover is also curved and doesn't lay flat when closed; must me due to having the folded Inner Sea Map placed at the back of the book, causing warping.

Edit: Added another picture to the album showing the curved front cover.

Should I return the book to the store and ask for a replacement?. I hope those links are working for you guys. I don't want to wait too long before returning it if that's what I should do, I'm eagerly awaiting a response.

Here's a direct link to each picture, the link above doesn't seem to work.

I ordered "The Inner Sea World Guide" from Chapters Indigo Canada, and it arrived today, I picked it up and brought it home.
I examined it and it looked to be in good shape, besides there being a few scuffs on the front cover. I then took the time to break the book in, just like I always do when I get one. I sit the book on it's spine, and let the front cover fall, then let the back back cover fall. I then begin by alternating back and forth between each page, pressing them down lightly as I go... I took a couple of pictures and wanted to know what you guys think about them, should I be concerned?. My other Pathfinder RPG hardcover's don't have that separation where the "headband" is.

On the "Chapters Indigo Canada" website, the Bestiary 6 artwork is different. https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/pathfinder-roleplaying-game-best iary-6/9781601259318-item.html?ikwid=Bestiary+6&ikwsec=Home&ikwidx= 0

I've taken the pictures, zipped up eight of them, and sent the email to the link provided; thanks again!.

Hello Reckless Hound,

I'm sorry to hear your book is coming apart! I have set up a replacement for you which should be on its way to you soon. You will be receiving an email confirmation. If you are able please send some picture of the book to customer.service@paizo.com and I can pass them along for quality control.

I thank you very much Diego, and Paizo too!. I received the email, and I'll take a few pictures later today, and upload them to you guys; it's very much appreciated!.

I'm a bit disappointed, it wasn't long ago that I had received my copy of "Pathfinder Chronicles: Gods and Magic" in the mail, I was very happy!. I've been reading and enjoying the book, but I noticed that pages 3-14 are wanting to separate from the binding, in fact, the bottom has separated from the spine a good 1.5 inches at the bottom in the page range I mentioned above, and I'm sure the rest will follow though continued use.

Like Vic Wertz was saying, you should take a look at the Retail Locator here. http://paizo.com/paizo/about/retailers

You would have to ask Paizo why the Distributor list hasn't been updated.

Or support your local gaming store and buy from them, checking the copy on the shelf to make sure it's the printing you want before you buy it. I always try to buy from the store that hosts our local PFS group when I buy hard copies, though I do buy a lot of PDFs these days.

Yes that's the first thing I would do, but they normally have nothing that you're looking for, at least not where I live.

Here's a list of Paizos product distributors.

http://paizo.com/paizo/about/distributors

If your from Canada, then there's Chapters Indigo that you can buy from as well. https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/

The Core Rulebook and Bestiary, I both from Amazon Canada, they were both the lasted print. Just don't buy from the other sellers on Amazon, unless you send them a message first and ask if it's the latest or not.

A number, yes, but I'm not liable to do a compilation for that book, or any book that's stat-block heavy, since the thought of creating that is too much even for MY OCD. My recommendation would be when you're preparing a game (assuming you're a GM), simply open up the Bestiary 1 errata thread, and in the search bar, look up the name of the creature and see if any errors have been posted about it (and compare it to what the 3rd printing is already saying is fixed).

Alright, thanks for pointing me to that thread!. :)

Try this link.

Thanks for the link Feros!.

It's just that I'm spoiled with Amazon.ca, I wish every company had such leverage as they do.

Is there any errors in the Bestiary Third printing, dated September 2011?.

Brief and to the point, I like that. Do you think that will change in the future?.

One other thing, does Paizo have any warehouses in Canada for quicker shipping to it's Canadian Customers?.

@ Strife2002
Have you done the same for the Bestiary?.

Okay, thanks for the advice Vic.

Fair enough.

Thanks Katina Davis, you have an excellent weekend also!. :D

Never mind guys, I just had to "disable gift options" and I was then able to make the purchase.

It would be nice to be able to subscribe to a thread of your choice, and get an automatic notification by PM, or email, when new posts are made to the thread you are subscribed to.

It would be nice if the website would automatically select the currency based on your location, or have the user manually select the currency from within "My Account" settings page.

Reckless Hound, if you're curious about a collection of errata for the edition you have (which is the latest edition as of writing this), then here's a compiled list of items that I put together of errata from this thread that weren't addressed yet.

Thanks Strife2002, that's quite the list, it's a lot to take in.

I'm disappointed, I tried making a purchase with my "RBC Virtual Visa debit Card", but when I got to the final step, I couldn't make the purchase, because the option was greyed out. The card is used for Online, and Mail Order Purchases.

Yeah I was aware of that page Matthew, but thanks anyway. I've got all the free goodies downloaded too, thanks Paizo!. :)

Okay, thank you Urath DM!.

Is there a complete list of Core Rulebook Errata available as a PDF?. I just got the Core Rulebook yesterday and would like to know where the mistakes are.

Edit: Oh, by the way, I have the Sixth Printing (March 2013).

It work's perfectly for many other sites, just not this one, I really don't know what to say or do. Thanks for your help anyways, Vic Wertz, very much appreciated!.

Those are great looking miniatures. :)
