Some sort of notice would have been nice, on the home page or on the front page of the store. This is just bad busniess strategy.

I realize that tech breaks down from time to time, and problems are unaviodable, but my purchasing a product that can't be received WAS unaviodable, and now, even though I know that I will eventually receive my PDF, I can't help but feel swindled because Piazo has my money and I have no product. Customers ALWAYS remember the bad feelings asscociated with a busniess better than the good ones. Alot of ill will could be avoided by posting a warning.

Yeah no harm done. the pdf will be available soon, however a notice on the ordering system would have made less frustrating for me when i tried to get the download and account pages up for 10 minutes.

Yeah, the downloads server is being really finicky since the move. I'm considering just disabling the My Downloads page altogether until we can hammer it back into shape.

OH!!! noes! wish i had read this before, just purchased my core rule book (like in the last 20 minutes) and i cant download it :(

hope you are able to fix it soon and that my purchase was not effected by this malfunction.

Hmm. Seoni could use a bikini wax.

Or at least prestidigitation as one of her cantrips so she can "tidy up".

Talking about ducks (some of you mentioned ducks. I think. Maybe it was one of the voices and they learned how to post here)

I started playing Vampire Bloodlines again the other day, with the newest community patch. They incorporated backgrounds for each clan.

One for Malkavians is Ninja. Which gives you extra melee and brawl points but never lets you take points in ranged weapons, because they are anathema to your code. And ducks. Ducks are anathema, too.

What I'm saying is I demand backgrounds like this in PF. I don't care that the book is off to the printers, if they really cared about the game, they'd stop it all, put that stuff in, and still get everything done on time!

One more thing: This book better be hand-printed on recycling paper, using environmentally friendly inks.

Yes i can be ^^, as varisian dancer and performer i am adept in many other things too.

In the end I can still use my spells, do you still need my services?

I'd reply to this, but I can't figure out whether you reacted to the innuendo. Frankly, it would be deeply disturbing if you did.

i Was talking about cleaning services.

Even though the Third Pathfinder Preview concerning Seoni doesn’t come out until next week, I’ve decided to start the complaining now.

First, the artwork. Even though I haven’t seen it yet, I am very disappointed with this unseen artwork. It fails to meet my unrealistic expectations of being hyper-photorealistic, yet still in the style of classic masters.

Secondly, let’s discuss Seoni’s Fortitude saving throw. Even though I don’t know what the number is, I’m going to assume it’s very low for a 14th level character, if not negative. This leaves her completely vulnerable to poison, say from the bite of a garden snake, or disease, say from stepping on a rusty rake. This is obviously a significant fault with the sorcerer class as whole, as a sorcerer should have no weaknesses, and be able to do everything perfectly with no help from the rest of the adventuring party.

I’m sure I’ll think of other imaginary complaints before the preview comes out. Please add your
** spoiler omitted **

How can you complain about me? :)

Tenho, mas a idéia de fazer essas coisas em inglês é para adicionar ao portfolio. Vai que a paizo gosta e me contrata :P

Para fazer algo vendável significa muito mais trabalho com ilustradores, diagramação, venda, etc. Recursos que, hoje em dia, estão escassos. :)

Ah, e a editora que anda publicando meus romances É a Devir :D

*Some of the effects from tongues still remains*

Hahaha nao sabia, e eu tendo mais nao estave querendo dizer livros mais pdfs. E sei, talvez ai voce vai fazer aventuras em golarion?

Time to put those ideas to practice! Thanks Paizo for the community license :D

*Seoni cast tongue*

Joao voce nao falou que tinha uma publicadora de livros para os seus livros? Talvez voce posa fazer uma traducao das regras em portugues. Faca antes da Devir! ps. eu nao use pontuacao porque nao tenho um teclado portugues.

*Tongue fades*

Definitely it is awesome time to increase paizo sphere on influence they have given us a great game and incomparable support and it time to give something back.

*Seoni adjust her the paper on her clip board*

So Joao Beraldo please relax and try to think about your childhood, what is the last memory you can remember before that incident?

*Seoni ready her pen*

-------

I think james what we are talking about is may be a different use for the modules, some thing with some continuity from one to 3 volumes (96 pages in total). the method whether it takes player from 1 to 15 or not it is not an issue for now, if we include it now it could be mid levels to mid high. 6 to 12. anyhow the level is not the issue.

So the parameters in question would allow for us to use some different type of encounters. we would be able to make encounters where NPCs and Monsters would be a challenge. they can still be world shattering to a degree and awesome boss fights can still be well awesome.

Salary,rent? for what services?

As I said above: Employing your magic to clean and tidy up around here.

That can't be that time-consuming or strenous for a magic user. Get some unseen servant and some prestidigitation and half an hour, and it's done.

I might ask for other services as the need arises, magic is so wonderfully versatile.

well i am certain we can sort something out.

You're right. It *is* basically the same, except for the delay and the potential for missed sales. The main benefit to customers of a PDF subscription vs. individual PDF sales is that a subscription would be more convenient for them.

The problem that it is not the same vic, the processing cost of the print subscription and the pdf are hugely different.

my problem is that soft copies (pdf) are hugely undervalued and unfortunately with out a major change in practices and sales model it wont be workable it would be too much of a risk and not enough of a reward.

*working on sales model that would make things better*

And KaeYoss 15 gp a week!? I think this should stop now, I am not what you think and I am definitely not for sale.

Scenario:
• Subscription as it stands:

  You get: 1 Hard copy and !!!Free PDF!!!.
  AND you pay cover price. (Has Delivery costs)

• New type of subscription: PDF only subscription

  You get: 1 !!!PAID for PDF!!!.
  AND you pay cover price. (No Delivery Costs)
  

• Advantages of PDF only subscription: (dependant of point of view)

  1 - Immediate access anywhere in the world.
  2 - No delivery costs.

• Disadvantages of PDF only subscription: (dependant of point of view)

  1 - You let less for your money.

• Advantages of Hard Copy subscription: (dependant of point of view)

  1 - Immediate access anywhere in the world for the FREE PDF.
  2 - You get a cool hard copy of the book that you can put on your shelf.
  3 - You get more for you money.
  

• Disadvantages of Hard Copy subscription: (dependant of point of view)

  1 - You have variant Delivery Cost that is dependant of number of items being delivered and location.
  

Exercise
• 1 - Justify the price for the PDF only subscription.

• 2 - Justify the price for the Hard copy + free PDF subscription.

• 3 - What trends would you notice happening to CURRENT Hard Copy subscriptions?

• 4 - What trends would you notice happening to NEW Hard Copy subscriptions?

• 5 - What trend would you notice happening to new PDF subscriptions?
  

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

Fears
• PDF subscribers could make complaints about paying same price (cover price) as the Hard Copy + Free PDF.

• Possible reduction of price for PDF only subscribers could mean a shift of some Hard Copy Subscribers to PDF only Subscriptions.

• Reduction of Hard Copy subscriptions would mean an possible increase of costs for production of books.

• Margin made from hard copy subscriptions would not be enough to cover processing costs or at worse case it could be negative.
  

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

Possible Solutions
• Plan 'A'
  Do nothing at this stage and revisit this section periodically for revision.

• Plan 'B'
  1 - Remove FREE PDF from Hard Copy subscription.
  2 - Reduce price for Hard Copy subscription.
  3 - Reduce price for PDF subscription so it matches new Hard Copy price.
  4 - Allow Hard Copy subscribers to buy PDF version of their books at reduce cost.
  5 - Allow PDF Only subscribers to buy the Hard Copy version of their books at reduce price.

  Hopes
  1 - Hope to get an increase of NEW subscriptions to cover the loss from the reduction of prices on CURRENT subscriptions.
  2 - Hope that switch from Hard Copy to PDF Subscriptions is not high so processing cost of Hard Copy subscription is not effected so much.
  3 - Hope for more NEW PDF subscriptions and Hard Copy subscriptions.
  4 - Portella gets a raise from work and he finds a group to be able to actually play pathfinder RPG.
  5 - Seoni gets a surname, "Portella" (^^.)

I'd also like a subscription to Seoni.

I'm intrigued by this Seoni subscription and would like to know more! Would she come weekly, or only once a month?

How rude! The thought of something like that makes me angry I am not up for subscription. I am not slave or toy to anyone.

This is by no means official, but I just updated all the iconics to Pathfinder for a game I'm running for new players this weekend.

I thought about Fey or Infernal for Seoni, but ultimately decided that neither of them really fit (and I wanted to play with the rules some, so I didn't choose Arcane). Based on her spell choices and focus on evocation, I went with the Elemental (fire) bloodline. It just seemed the best fit to me - YMMV.

You know that seems like the best fit.

Choose a number from 1 to 9.

Yeah, I gotta say my tastes are closer to Uzzy's (not that that's what I really intended the thread to be about). It does illustrate what I meant by more realistic, however, if that was unclear.

I like both and all.

You have a good point she is on her 3.5 stats. In the end of the day we can only assume. may be when the next adventure path comes out we will have the iconic stats updated then we will find out what bloodline my favourite iconic has.

Would you like me to answer your question with a harrowing?

I could tell you but that would be telling...

I think there is a thread some where that answer this question not sure... but i guess she is arcane or infernal

Well, I love most of Wayne's stuff (Still don't like Seoni...breast implants and all...), but Lini is my fantasy girlfriend (I like short girls), and his pics of her are quite awesome.

As far as older artists, both RPG and otherwise, I love Brom, Matt Wilson and Simon Bisley, Frank Miller, as well as Frazetta, for my 'painting' art, and good old Roslof and WIllingham for my old-school D&D artists...Oh, and Jeff Dee...with his D&D Basic Set characters all having bell bottoms...Haha, the 79s!!!

I have always thought that Monster HP and player HP were a bit strange.

Some monster do need loads of HP, as dragons and other massive creatures.

monsters like them should not be killable on strait fight hit and miss game you can not tank a dragon in the same way you can in wow. one swipe should send a medium character flying across the room.

players hp should not be comparable to monster like that.

S
e

well i would start by making the benign effect less likely to happen and increase the harmful effect change and also i would add more harmfull effects. The effect of moving items like that one inside the other has always been harmful and it would be nice to continue as that however it doesnt mean that once in while we get reports of people that survived the effects of mixing such dangerous items together or even got benefits from it.

I just dont like the idea of players mixing these items so they can increase the capacity or influence the roll by the aid of limited wish or wish spells.
