Is there any chance we can get an updated download with a separate maps pdf? I see them in the zip downloads for recent APs, see it here. It'd be nice to have a map for VTTs that don't have the secret doors clearly marked.

So I have the 3 part PDF's for this AP back from a humble bundle and curious if I should be getting the foundry discount?

I have the 3 part PDFs from being a subscriber. I just tried to checkout and its not giving me a discount, but it is offering to let me get the omnibus PDF for free.

I feel like this is an error.. either in the shopping cart, or on the part of marketing. If you're claiming you get a discount for owning the PDF, shouldn't users who already bought the 3-part PDFs get the same discount?

Has anyone found where the portal in Belcorra's Suite (D20d) ends up? The description for D20 merely states that it is an inactive portal to the depths of the Abomination Vaults. I've searched through the other books and I've been unable to figure out where the other end of that portal is supposed to lead.

How does the elevator/lift work between the end of book 2 and beginning of book 3?

The map at the end of book 2 shows what appears to be an elevator platform lifted up to the prison level. In the description for A17, it sounds like the lift is down on the ground and may not work at all.

Is there some way I'm missing that the lift can take players down to the farm level? Or are they expected to choose between jump/feather fall and clearing the stairs? (I know my players won't take Urevian's deal, so I'm ignoring that possibility)

Can someone confirm if I'm reading the treasure from Inizra correctly?

As I read it, each player gets a +3 Greater Striking weapon and a +3 Major Resilient armor resulting in 110,000 gp worth of runes.

This seems out of line with the wealth by level of a 20th level character starting with 112,000 gp worth of equipment. Its even worse if the characters choose dragon-hide/adamantine/etc equipment.

Is the intention for the party to gain this much equipment, or is there a different way I should be reading this?

Thanks!

I'm having trouble with the map for area I. All-Eyes' Wood. Has anyone else figured this out yet?

The redoubt appears to be on an island with a bridge to it. However, the map on page 22 shows area I as well away from any major source of water.

There's a note in the write-up about watery areas being quicksand. I assumed this was referring to just the tiny puddles that are everywhere.. or does it really mean that this is an island in the middle of a large pond of quicksand? If so, just how wide is this expanse of quicksand?

It is next to impossible to ship anything anywhere for less than about 7 dollars. Go to the post office or Pack-n-Mail and check rates for yourself. As Gorbacz says, Amazon gets discounted rates from their shippers which allows them to offer lower shipping costs or free shipping. Other shippers either add the cost of their "free" shipping to the product price or negotiate their own deals with shippers, if they are large enough.

The $3.99 price you're seeing from third party sellers represents USPS Media Mail rates, which Paizo doesn't offer. You can read about that here.

Joana, thanks for the response. That was extremely informative.

I'd consider the back material in Paizo publications more upcoming book announcements, but I'll leave the call on that up to Paizo's legal team.

Now that I know why its more expensive, I'm still curious how useful other GMs have found having the hard and soft copy vs just having the hard copy.

Does anyone know why Paizo's shipping is so expensive?

I just signed up for the adventure path subscription, and was shocked to see that I'll now be charged $6.39 per month to ship the subscription.. If I go on amazon to look at 3rd party adventure path sellers *everyone* charges $3.99 for shipping a single volume. Considering a subscription is regular guaranteed income, I was hoping for somewhat of a deal on shipping, or at most to pay what seems to be the standard for everyone else.

I know it seems like only a couple bucks, but when you compare it to the advertised 30% off retail, and you realize that you'll then have to pay 25% of retail for shipping.. something seems off.

I originally got the subscription because it appeared to be cheaper than going through Amazon, and getting the free pdf copy seemed nice. Now it seems that Amazon Prime members will have to pay *more* to get it through the Paizo subscription with 30% off. So now I have to ask myself if the free pdf is worth it.

If anyone has thoughts on if the free pdf copy is worth paying a higher price, I'd love to hear it.
