Hello,

I just received notification that order number Order 3925820 was shipping. It contains a charge for two of the same items and the manifest indicates that two copies of it are contained in the shipment:

Pathfinder Legends—Mummy's Mask #5: The Slave Trenches of Hakotep CD Set
Paizo Inc.
Will be in your downloads once shipped
21.99 17.59 17.59
Pathfinder Legends—Mummy's Mask #5: The Slave Trenches of Hakotep CD Set
Paizo Inc.
Component of CD Set/Download Bundle
Will be in your downloads once shipped
21.99 17.59 17.59

I don't know how it happened but I should only have one. Can you please correct this and adjust the charge?

I subscribed to Pathfinder Legends in time for the Mummy's Mask but just realized that Rise of the Runelords is already available. Does the fact that I am a subscriber mean that I will receive a digital copy if I purchase a Rise of the Runelords CD or does it only apply to CD's I receive after my subscription started?

My account page has a section stating "You have a store credit balance of $10.00 that you may apply toward future purchases." but there is no indication of how to redeem the credit. Is this accurate and if so how do I redeem the credit?

I picked up a book from the Planet Stories line during a recent sale and after finishing it I immediately realized I was missing out. I am very disappointed to see that the line has gone on hiatus, I fully intended to sign up for a subscription today.

I've already started digging into the backlog but I'd still like to know - any updates on the future of the Planet Stories line?

For what it's worth, I've been following Paizo since the Dungeon/Dragon days and signed up for the Pathfinder Tales subscription as soon as it was advertised yet somehow Planet Stories flew completely under my radar. My case may be unique but if not there might be others that, like me, have the interest but are unaware. Perhaps doing some sort of promotion tied in with the Pathfinder Tales line would get some more eyeballs on the Planet Stories line?

Sorry scratch my question below, I just saw the enclosed bookmark. Sorry for the false alarm and very clever marketing idea!

As a follow-up I received my package today and it contains everything I expected plus a copy of Prince of Wolves which, according to the enclosed slip, was added with a price of $0.00.

Would you like me to send it back?

Huh... Weird. Thanks for the heads-up.

I'm going to look into this. I will do my best to make sure that your order ships out with the correct items contained therein.

Thanks,
cos

If you'd like me to forward the relevant emails to a customer service address please let me know, they don't contain any financial or personal information beyond what Paizo already has on record.

I think this issue is merely with the email reporting but I wanted to bring it to Paizo's attention nonetheless.

I received an email on February 5th letting me know that "Plague of Shadows" is shipping out with the order #1614676 that is being prepared. Inside the body of the email it correctly listed the contents:

This order contains the following items:
1 x Kobold Quarterly 16 Print Edition @ 0.00 = $0.00
1 x Pathfinder Tales: Plague of Shadows Print Edition @ 8.49 = $8.49
1 x Pathfinder Adventure Path #42: Sanctum of the Serpent God (Serpent's Skull 6 of 6) (PFRPG) Print Edition @ 13.99 = $13.99

This is the shipment list and pricing I expected. I received another email today indicating that the order was pending shipment by the end of the week but the contents of the order are listed as:

The following products are included in this shipment:
1 x Kobold Quarterly 16 Print Edition
1 x Pathfinder Tales: Prince of Wolves Print Edition
1 x Pathfinder Tales: Plague of Shadows Print Edition
1 x Pathfinder Adventure Path #42: Sanctum of the Serpent God (Serpent's Skull 6 of 6) (PFRPG) Print Edition

I already own "Prince of Wolves" so I clicked the link contained in the email to view the order and discovered that the order record itself does not contain this entry: 1 x Pathfinder Tales: Prince of Wolves Print Edition

So it looks like the order, viewed through my account, is in fact correct but the email package list is wrong.

Ryan, I apologize for the missing item from your order. I've gone ahead and added the item to your sidecart to ship out with your next subscription order. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Perfect, thanks Liz!

Hello:

On 1/11/2011 I placed the order specified above for the print issue of the latest Kobold Quarterly. I then moved it to Order #1593933 which was due to ship out shortly after per my AP subscription. 1593933 did arrive but it only contained AP #41; Kobold Quarterly #16 was missing. I've been giving it some time in case it was shipped separately but I'm beginning to think it was left out. Will you check on this and if it is the case, will you ship out the KQ issue for me? If the extra shipping is an issue please combine it with my next scheduled subscription shipment which, I believe/hope, is in mid-February.

-Ryan

Spectacles of Arcane Insight

*...Lots of bad mechanics here. Reject.

*...Eh? This thing just keeps getting weirder and weirder. The +2 to CL for overcoming SR is something that gets used in the robe of the archmagi...and this thing is doing it for 6,000 gp...in addition to a whole bunch of other crap. It also gives +2 to all Knowledge checks (for only the disciplines he's trained in?). I don't even understand what that substitution thing is supposed to be doing for you. Vote to Reject.

Thanks Neil and that goes for the other judges as well. I really appreciate that you have taken the extra time and effort to make this contest into an excellent learning experience for the entire community.

Spectacles of Arcane Insight
Aura moderate divination and transmutation; CL 8th
Slot eyes; Price 17,000 gp; Weight —
Description
The frame of this pair of spectacles is gilded in a valuable metal and holds two lenses neither of which impact a wearer's natural vision. It is always the case that some aspect of their construction pays homage to Nethys although the method of expression is limited only by the ingenuity of their creator. The most common technique is etching an open eye in the surface of the frame but other more subtle touches, such as contrasting lens and frame colors to depict dualistic forces, are not unusual. Immediately upon donning these spectacles the character feels a surge run through his body, gaining a +3 bonus on caster level checks when attempting to overcome a creature's spell resistance. Additionally, he can draw upon erudition beyond that which he currently possesses for any discipline he comprehends, gaining a +3 competence bonus to knowledge checks that fall within a field of study he is trained in. When making a check that is eligible for this competence bonus, the wearer may also choose to substitute the ability modifier used to determine the DC of saving throws against his spells for his intelligence modifier. In order to maintain his sanity, however, a character wearing these spectacles expends constant mental effort and thus suffers a -4 penalty on all Will saves.
Construction
Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, moment of prescience, fox's cunning; Cost 8,500 gp

Our PDFs do not include the right to redistribute them to others. (Note that if you "loaned" a PDF to somebody else, and they decided to redistribute it globally, you would be the identifiable source that would potentially get in trouble for that.)

My recommendation would be for you to print out selected pages for him to peruse.

I'm sorry to revive this thread, if I need to create a new topic or should put this somewhere else please let me know.

Are there plans to offer Burnt Offerings in print again? I looked at the cost of, per the pdf license, printing a professional copy of the .pdf version I already own and the cost is only slightly less than the much better print versions Paizo already offers. Frankly I'd much rather turn over money to Paizo than Kinkos.

Will do, thank you both for the assistance.

I apologize if this is not the correct message board for this question but I don't see the answer under the pdf section of the FAQ and it doesn't seem to fit Product Discussion.

I am an adventure path subscriber and I would like to convince a few others to join me in a Pathfinder game. My suggestion was running Rise of the Runelords and the person most likely to act as GM would like to read through the first 2 parts of that adventure path. If I owned the hard copies I would simply lend him the material but given that I only own the .pdf copies I'd like to know what Paizo's policy is on lending a pdf file. I certainly don't mind investing in a hard copy but I'd hate for either me or the potential GM to do so if he ultimately decides it isn't his cup of tea.

Thanks.
