I decided to wait with the Companion subscription, to see if I liked what I saw. I do like it, so I added the subscription. Now it says: Next issue: Pathfinder Companion: Second Darkness (OGL) Print Edition will ship with a future Pathfinder Adventure Path volume But I already got the Second Darkness issue, I don't want two of them, and I didn't have the choice not to take it. Could you please make sure that I don't get two of these? Thanks.
In my gaming group, I am always the evil GM. Now I have been challenged by one of my players. Besides the Core rules, I have really no clue what is in all the other books. The guy challenging me is a real Min/Max guy. So I have come here for some guides. Challenge: Create a 4 player party, using 3,5 rules. All Wizards 3,5 books are allowed. Create the party at level 1. Level it up to level 6, 11, 16, and 20. Meet the other players party on a battlefield, to see who created the best party. I could imagine that some rules are added to the battlefield, like a closed area, and disallowing teleporting in and out of the battlefield. So as I have no time to read all books, what do I really need to read? Which classes, prestigeclasses, items, spells, feats, etc. are winners that I must have in my party? Which combos are winners, both combos on the single character, but also party combos? I hope I get a lot of directions from all you super players out there. Thanks
I don't know much about other countries in the EU, but living in Denmark, it can be pretty expensive to buy stuff at Paizo. In Denmark, there is a rule that if a package shipped from outside of EU, cost more than DKR 80 (approx $17) including the shipping price, we have to pay VAT (no taxes are needed from Paizo). Now, I don't mind paying the VAT, it is me who is living in Denmark. However, the Danish Postal Service have a monopoly on checking through international shippings, adding VAT. For that, they are allowed to add an amount they judge to be the cost for them. For that they charge DKR 150 (approx $32). As an example, I order a Pathfinder module, $14, pays for shipping $6, and ends up with a $20 payment. Then it arrives to Denmark, a $5 is added for VAT, and a $32 for handling the VAT, for at total of $57. Now my problem isn't as much the $57, as it is the feeling I am feeding a monopoly, who thanks to me feeding them, will do everything they can to stay on that monopoly, and claim that it is reasonably that they charge a $32 times 12, $384 for handling 12 packages of mine, that I have already paid $6 times 12, $72 to be handled. At the moment, it seems that more and more packages are getting caught by the postal service, eg. they are figuring out that they are sitting on a gold mine. I would believe that in 6-12 months, they are adding VAT to all packages from Paizo to Denmark. My guess is that you are going to loose most of your Danish customers who are buying directly from Paizo.com. Would it be possible for you to somehow set up a European office, where say, when a package is ready to ship for the EU, you bundle it with all packages for the EU, you pay the VAT (which you of course have added to our orders), and then you resend the packages as they arrive inside the EU? If that isn't possible, at least I have let you know what the reason is, should you start to loose Danish customers (whom there probably aint that many of anyways).
Since the Chronicles line started, I have had a feeling that customers having both Pathfinder and Chronicles subscriptions are being "punnished" considering when being able to download PDFs, compared to only Pathfinder subscribers. It seems odd, that when we choose to ship as soon as a new Pathfinder module are brought in, we are last in line. So here is my suggestion: As soon as you are ready to ship any item, if a customer have been a subscriber on that item line for a given time (6 or 12 months), that customer are given access to the pdf right away, even before you have credited any money. The customer have been there for said time, and isn't likely to stop right now. Flaws: A customer might cancel a subscription, after you released the PDF, making you loose money.
I believe that the advantages clearly outweighs the disadvantages, and anyone who cancels a subscription to receive a "free" pdf, was probably a customer you were going to loose anyway, and it that case, that lost PDF might not translate to much money anyways. Honestly, I am quite angry at the moment, that you held my PF#8, to ship with Classic Monsters, when I chose a Ship my Pathfinder as soon as possible option. My hardcopy is about a month to reach me. Whats important for me, is the possibility to look at my Pathfinder at the same time it is discussed on the forum. I have considered subscribing to the Companion, but since its first release is in august, I haven't decided yet. The current amount of stalling due to my Chronicles subsription, makes me lean towards not going on Companion. I just don't want more reasons for delays, when I feel I that I in fact should get a higher priority due to supporting Paizo.
Hi, On my order page, it says: You have 2 items waiting to be shipped when Pathfinder #9—Curse of the Crimson Throne Chapter 3: "Escape from Old Korvosa" (OGL) arrives at our warehouse: While I have chosen Hold subscription items to ship with my Pathfinder Adventure Path subscription
Is it an error that you are holding #2, until #3 arrives? Further, in the past two orders, I have had problems with not getting the correct shipping (getting First-Class, instead of Package Service). Please make sure that it is the correct shipping. Thanks.
Hi, It seems that shipping has been set to First class by a mistake. This also happened last time, is it something that is wrong with my settings? One more thing, would it be possible to add order #894169, that I cancelled because your couldn't combine shipping? Thanks

I just made an order, and thought I could choose to have the order bundled together with my next shipment of Pathfinder. Could you either make sure that the product is shipped together with later products, or if that is not possible, cancel this order. Thanks.
What is the reason for the sudden rise of $12.42 for shipping and handling?
When you get to do the more experimenting part of your adventure paths, I would really like to see a whole path where the players get to be evil. A path that shows the importance of the balance, and maybe that good and evil are not that different, but the means on how to accomplish the goals are. Of course, an evil path would require a way to ensure the players to work together. Maybe a path where the main goal of the campaign is known early on, but the work to accomplish it is long and hard. Means like assainations, torture, and the like should be a part of the campaign. It would be super cool to see the other side of the world through the eyes of the players. Maybe some new rules to cope with player insanity? Later adventure paths could have elements of cleaning up the stuff the players did in their evil campaign. Maybe a path where the main villain(s) are (one of) the charaters of the evil campaign. A little sidenote: I am going with Paizo on the 4e question.
I am going to start my RotR campaign in a week from now, and I have decided to have the players make a calendar for the day they are currently on. It states that "The Swallowtail Festival begins promptly, as scheduled, on the first day of autumn", and I understand we have the year 4707 AR. Question #1: I guess the first day of autumn is the 1'st of Pharast. Is this correct? Question #2: What day of the week is 1'st of Pharast 4707 AR? I know this isn't that important, but if I am having the players make a calendar, it would be nice to be in sync with what You publish in the future. |
