The Digital Downloads page needs to be brought kicking an screaming into the 2020s.

I don't know how much of the Paizo business runs on digital downloads, but right now the experience is very dated and as collections grow, is becoming unwieldy for customers to manage.

It looks like they're using Nuxt.js for the Paizo website, hopefully there is a plan to modernise the Digital Downloads page.

Carry Capacity, Encumbrance & Containers get reworked to be more intuitive and less bookkeepy.

The lack of new information since April doesn't mean the project has been abandoned, just that there's no new information to share. It's not efficient for anyone for someone to provide weekly or monthly updates that are essentially, "see the last announcement." When there's something new and final to share, we will.

Thanks for the update Mark.

I appreciate that constant updates with nothing new to say doesn't feel like it would be helpful. However, no (or little) communication at all can be just as bad. In the absence of communication, rumours and gossip run rampant.

As far as I can tell, it's been 8 months since the last book was released and there is no official announcement that there will even be a delay with the release schedule on the Paizo Blog.

Note: I don't count a Staff post on a forum thread started by a non-Paizo staff member as a official announcement. Surely you don't want this thread to be the single source of truth about the future of the PF Line, do you?

Maybe you could restart Web Fiction again?

It'd be a wonderful holidays present, if we go some sort of announcement on the future of the Pathfinder Tales line.

I'm up to Reaper's Eye on Audible. I just have Shy Knives and I'll be left with no more new Pathfinder Tales to listen to. *sad*

I haven't seen any threads like this here, but I think it's cool hearing about some of the games other had played. So I'll start this here

------------

I played a solo game of Brigadoom! last night using Seelah. The game ended on a knifes edge.

I started at the Waterfront and wasn't really rolling well. Faced the Bandit and lost. But after encountering the Shadow twice I decided to move to the Woods and would leave that for later. And hope to get an item with the Magic trait.

I encountered the other Bandit at the Woods, defeated him, but I failed to closed the location and had to totally explore it to close it. Then I returned to the Waterfront, knowing that the Villain was at the Farmhouse.

So, I faced the Bandit again, and beat him using Seelahs power to add an extra d6 by discarding the top card. And then I beat him again to close the location.

By the time I got to the farmhouse, I had in my hand 2 Blessings of the Gods, a Longsword and Chainmail. My deck was empty, so any more damage would mean game over when I had to reset my hand.

After a few turns of encountering boons and failing to get them, I turned over the Siren. I ended up failing the fortitude check by one, but I did defeat it. I thought it was over, but I realised that I could continue with the two blessings if I discarded my chainmail. But it meant I HAD to face the Villian before the turn ended.

On my final exploration I turned over an Ambush. I realised that if I made the check I could pull out the Villain and face him. I didn't, however I did have the face the next monster in the deck (I assumed I just turned over cards until I hit a Monster).

The Villan appeared. I discarded the Longsword to get the extra d8 & d6 (I wanted to be sure) and ended up rolling enough to defeat him.

It was one of the the closest game I've had.

This is a mundane subject, but I'd like to see more information about containers. Bags, pouches, backpacks, quivers, scabbards, holsters, chests, coffers, etcetera. How much can they hold? How are they carried? What action is required to draw an item from them? How many bags you can a person carry? How many belt-pouches can you you clip onto a single belt? Can you wear a backpack, quiver and a sheathed weapon on your back at the same time? With a cloak?

I'd also like to see a revision of how space is conceptualized within these containers. Rather than in terms of cubic feet or pounds, I'd like to see it expressed in terms of item sizes. For example, A belt-pouch can hold 4 tiny items or 1 small.
