The hope in this piece is absolutely beautiful! Singing all my praises for Simone <3 Happy Pride from the Radiant Prism!

Wow! I remember when Darkmoon Vale and Falcon's Hollow seemed to get a fair amount of attention in the early days of "Gamemastery" Modules and even a little bit during the beginning of the 1st edition of Pathfinder. Nice to see it making a comeback of a sort. (Not gonna lie, this does sound pretty good).

And by extension, who conceived of the concept or promoted the idea of 5 very different Lawful deities uniting in this way? Is there a leader behind the Order (I realize all Hellknight orders have leaders) I’m just wondering (or asking) who’s leading the Godclaw.

My main reason for asking is I have a player, he’s an evil Champion (so we’re still pre-Remastered 2e) and his pretending to be a good Champion. The player is a HUGE fan of Warhammer 40k and in game his character often touts the “glories of the God Emperor) I nudged him into incorporating the Godclaw to help tie him back into Golarion canon. I’m planning a redemption arc for him and I’ll want/need a BBEG to be defeated as part of his final redemption quest. (I have a few potential ideas, but having names etc would be helpful).

Thanks in advance fellow Paizoians for any help.

I seriously liked all of them, they weren’t all “core” races and of course being designed by Wayne Reynolds was ALWAYS a plus. (They were designed by him, right)?

Does Paizo have the rights to these characters? Does Mr. Reynolds (hopefully WotC/Hasbro doesn’t).

If Paizo owns them, I’d love to see them return in some form, some way.

Hello customer service,

I just noticed that the above mentioned order was declined? I truly think there's been a hiccup on your end again in which your system used the wrong card (I thought that had been taken care of).

If you could please check and run my card again (it's a Mastercard not a Visa).

I've been expecting Lost Omens: Highhelm and wondered why it hasn't arrived. Now at least I know why.

Thank you.

… I have a player asking me what’s the most racist region in Golarion. (I actually think he means more human-centric) but maybe having a low opinion or even a low tolerance for non-humans.

He’s going to be playing a human Champion/Redeemer and I’m wondering if he’s looking to set up something BIG for his character to overcome like an injustice to fight, or something along those lines.

(When I thought he was just asking for human-centric regions I suggested Absalom or Taldor) but then he throws racist into the equation so I thought probably Cheliax?

If it helps, I’ll be running The Fall of Plaguestone for him and the rest of the group.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hello.
As the title says, I’m curious if there’s any thoughts on Mythic Adventures getting a 2e revision. Part of the reason I’m asking, I’m in a Facebook Pathfinder group and members were posting their favorite PF art. Someone posted a scene of Shelyn and Zon-Kuthon fighting (and it looks like Shelyn is attempting to disarm Zon-Kuthon of his Glaive (that is currently her Glaive)). Any that sparked the idea of an AP (1-20 and possibly new Mythic rules) of bringing Dou-Bral back and ending the tyranny/influence of Zon-Kuthon. (Not sure how to really explain it better).

Anyway it sounds like a potentially interesting AP.

Greetings Paizo customer service team.

After a couple years away from gaming in general, I've found myself getting back into Pathfinder 2e and subscribing to the Adventure Paths once again.

I was all prepared to update things (card to use, new address etc) and I forgot to update my payment method before completing my subscription order. :P

(guess I was excited to be a subscriber again).

I'd like to start my AP subscription with Strength of Thousands part 5 of 6 (can't remember the AP number) but it's stuck in my side-cart right now.

I've since entered my new payment method (hopefully it saved) as well as marked to remove the old/expired payment method.

If I could get a little help getting things situated I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Dean; The_Minstrel_Wyrm

Hi fellow PF2E GMs.
I’m going to be starting TFoP in a couple weeks (character creation nearly finalized) and they’ve all chosen backgrounds from the adventure module. If you used the side quests provided, at what points in the adventure did you slot those quests in?

I’ve got a human male cleric of Shelyn (Missionary background)
A ratfolk male swashbuckler (Teamster background)
A half-elf male sorcerer (Hag bloodline, and Lesser Scion background)
And a half-orc male fighter (Lost and Alone background).

It’s a very interesting group and I’m really looking forward to seeing what happens with The Fall of Plaguestone.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Good evening from Pennsylvania!

The subject pretty much says it all, I'm wondering if the last 2 Adventure Paths that were written for D&D v.3.5 rules are going to see a conversion to the 2e Pathfinder rules?

Long before the arrival of 2e (which I enjoy, even if I haven't had an opportunity to run any 2e games, something I'm hoping to change soon) anyway, before PF2e I was on that "bandwagon" of fans hoping for a Second Darkness PF1e hardcover and a Legacy of Fire PF1e hardcover. Now that 2e has been around for a couple years, I find myself wondering if these adventures (which I truly enjoyed reading) and even ran for my players ... I think these deserve to be converted. (Unless I misunderstood something I read about a year ago) Kingmaker is getting a 2e conversion/compilation (and while Kingmaker is a good AP and worthy of conversion) I feel Second Darkness and Legacy of Fire are equally deserving.

I remember from the messageboards of APs past that there were "problems" with Second Darkness (something that I'm sure can be fixed, but the overall story/adventure is pretty solid in my opinion) while Legacy of Fire is just a beautiful Arabian Nights-esqe story and adventure that hit all the marks as a wonderful homage to those types of stories.

I don't know if I'm the first to ask this, or if I'm just the next in a long line of fans that have inquired about it, and I know you folks are VERY busy ... but if there's any hope, any chance of a 2e conversion/hardcover compilation for Second Darkness and/or Legacy of Fire ... you have built-in sales for one of each. ;)

Hello excellent customer service team.
I’m afraid that I need to cancel the Pathfinder AP as well as discontinue the Starfinder AP (after the final part of the current AP).
Finances are getting strained and I’ve got to cut back on unnecessary things.

Thank you in advance for your assistance with this.

Dean

Hello excellent customer service Team!

I’m afraid I made a mistake. First I placed an order for a brick of Legendary Adventures miniatures. (What I’d really like to do is place an order for the entire set/start a Pathfinder Battles subscription). So if you could cancel the order for the brick, I’d appreciate it. Secondly I’d like to have my payment method changed (but not until I can perhaps call and speak to someone at your office). I don’t mean to make what I’m sure is an easy process difficult, but it’s probably just easier to talk to someone.

But please go ahead and cancel the order # 8151269.
Thank you.

Hi everyone.
I just noticed this while leafing through the PF 2e Core Rulebook. (I was instantly curious as I intend to make use of the various Skymetals in my home brew Pathfinder/Starfinder crossover adventure path). Orichalcum seemed so familiar, the description, even the spelling ... so I grabbed my Shattered Star AP volumes (Shards of Sin had what I wanted) and yes, within those pages it was called Horacalcum (different name, basically same description/properties). Why the name change?
I’m mostly just curious.

Thanks

Hello.
As I was leafing through my PF2E Core Rulebook I took notice that the spell reincarnate (usually the sole purview of the Druid class) is missing.
Was this intentional? Will it be added later (ala APG2e)?

Good morning most excellent Paizo customer service team!

I just noticed that the payment method was declined. I’m not sure why, as I recently paid off my balance on that card. (Perhaps my card payment and the new charges crossed and that’s the issue). There should be sufficient credit for those pending purchases/orders.

Thank you.

Dean aka The_Minstrel_Wyrm

Dear paizo customer service team, I’m so sorry about not communicating sooner, but I’ve somehow over extended myself and I just don’t think I can support the adventure paths and the maps. I don’t want to lose the $15 credit and I’d like to (if possible) just stick with the adventure path line at this time. I should have enough on my card to do the 3 “back issues” of the return of the runelords AP, But no other subscriptions at this time.

(Admittedly I was just extremely embarrassed and depressed that I’d somehow screwed myself up financially, and that’s why I was so bad about contacting you sooner).

If the card continues to not accept purchases, then I’m afraid I’ll have to stop ALL subscriptions again, and probably for good.

Thank you for your understanding.

Dean

Hello,
I was driving home from work the other day and I was thinking, IF PF 2e is at all similar in rules etc as Starfinder... how COOL would a crossover AP be? (Obviously time travel would be involved, with the Starfinder characters going back in time to pre-Gap Golarion (perhaps at the behest of the Starfinder Society) to find and retrieve a certain item, or perhaps witness a certain event (maybe the Society’s archives are incomplete and they wish to have a firsthand account of the historical occurrence) ... and I’m just brainstorming here, obviously if this even has a snowballs chance, it’s up to the developers at Paizo).

Maybe it’s my love of comic books and the “annual” crossovers that used to be a BIG deal back in the day ... but I do think this would be a neat idea. (Of course if the rules are too far apart, too different ... it may not work at all).

I didn’t feel this was a “Starfinder” post nor strictly a “Pathfinder” post ... that’s why I placed it in general discussion. (If that was wrong, I’m sorry).

So, what are your thoughts (whoever might be reading this)?

And ... discuss! ;-)

Hi Paizo customer service team.
Sorry to be such a pain (after being away for nearly 6 months),
but I decided to start up two subscriptions tonight Pathfinder Adventure Path and the Pathfinder Maps. I’m pretty sure I successfully subscribed, but noticed my confirmation email still shows my old payment method as the card being used and I DO NOT want my old payment being used, I want my new card being used/the default. Please change this before the subscription orders ship. Please please please.
Thank you.

Dean Siemsen

Hello Paizo customer service! :-)

I updated (just now) my payment method for the playtest preorder
and any future Paizo Publishing purchases, please note and if possible remove previous/older card from my page/account.

Thank you,

Dean Siemsen

Hello customer service team,

I’m sorry that I have to ask (and meant to do this sooner) but can someone please cancel both my Pathfinder & Starfinder subscriptions?

My health insurance costs increased and I just can’t afford any extras at this time.
(And if I’m being completely honest, I have MORE than enough game material to last me 10 years or more).

I hope I’m alerting you in enough time (my email said things are pending) so I hope these can be cancelled without to much of a fuss. (I looked on the site, but didn’t see an option for me to stop the order myself).

Thank you so much. (Sorry I have to ask you do to this).

Sincerely,
Dean Siemsen

To whom it may concern,

Greetings and thank you for your diligence regarding my card information.

My card # is the same, however the expiration date and the security code are what has changed. Please contact me with the best way to update this information. I know it's unwise to post the updates, so if I must be contacted to verify certain information, please do so.
I have (I believe) gone through the updating my credit card payments.

Thank you,
Sincerely,
Dean Siemsen

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to make sure that on my most recent order (the aforementioned #4181455) that not only did I utilize my $75 gift certificate/store credit but that I also got the "holiday17" 10% discount as well. (And that after all these have been factored in, what is the amount charged to my card)? I tried to follow "along" but I'm just not sure I'm seeing/reading the page right.

Thanks in advance for any answers/assistance you can provide.

Dean Siemsen

Hi everyone (long time no post) :)

Anyway, I'm moving the end of the month (just one door down actually) but I wanted to notify you folks.

no change on my name of course ... new address will be ...

[ADDRESS REDACTED]

Thanks in advance :)

It is with DEEP regret that I must ask this of you fine folks, once again.

Other financial responsibilities have come to the fore, and if I'm being completely honest, I already have more than enough RPG material to run a different game each day of the week (IF I had the time and was so inclined). :)

I know I've asked this in the past, and after some time, I've been able to start my subscriptions again, slowly. And I hope that I'm able to do so again, in time.

Thank you for all the wonderful service and care you've provided. Despite the necessity of my request, it is still a hard thing to ask, and to do.

Sincerely,

Dean Siemsen

Hello paizo customer service team,
You've always been willing to help if you can in any way, and I need to ask if it's possible to hold my upcoming Dungeons Deep miniatures case until mid-July. (I've had to use my "paizo only" card for some other needs and now MUST paid down that balance). And I'm afraid with dungeons deep and my regular subscription items, that I won't be able to make those payments fast enough before the miniatures are shipped.
So, is it possible to do that?
Thanks in advance,
Dean

Hi there awesome customer service team,

I'm just curious (and perhaps a little anxious)on what might be causing the delay in the aforementioned order. I feel like I should have had it by now, but perhaps one of the FGG hardcovers is causing the hold-up, or maybe the New Paths compendium? Or is it the Iconics Set #1?

Just wondering if everything is all right with this order/purchase.

Dean

AWESOME! I may have to pick this one up (and The Lost City of Barakus). :)

Oh, just a curious question, I think during the Age of Worms something that the PCs were seeking was a sword (and I'm thinking that it was also called the Sword of Air (possibly Air & Lightning) ... anyway ... is this at all similar (or am I thinking of something else entirely, and getting the two confused) ...

In either case, happy Lost Lands: Sword of Air is available. :)

Dean

Hi there,

I just recently changed my payment method (card ends in redacted) from my original/previous card (that ends in redacted and I think my pending subscription order (adventure paths, campaign settings, player companions, and maps) was switched over to the new card, but I just wanted to be sure that my recent orders (and all future orders) will be using the new card (again that ends in redacted).

Thanks,

Dean

Hi there.

Just after Christmas I did a little "me" shopping and bought a bunch of RPG books and items (and I think these are being held pending my next subscription order), oh this would be order # 3408653.

Just tonight I decided to add the player companion and campaign setting lines back into my monthly subscriptions (order # 3417843) ... could these possibly be combined with either my next (regular) monthly subscription ... OR would it be possible to ship the aforementioned orders together (saving me some shipping costs)?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Dean Siemsen

Afternoon,

Earlier this morning I placed an order (getting guys in my gaming group(s) some Christmas gifts), and I forgot to get something for my GM. So I came back and decided to buy Mummy's Mask pawns and pawn bases (and then wound up going a little "nuts" and buying additional pawn sets (when my GMing "duties" resume, after I get to be a player during Mummy's Mask).

Anyway, long explanation aside, could the aforementioned order #'s be "associated" and not necessarily shipped separately? (It's not a deal-breaker if they can't be) but I was just wondering about the possibility.

Thanks in advance,

Dean Siemsen

Love the idea of Conna, but can't really tell she is female. :(. Still, she's a great sculpt and a must have.

I honestly hate it when I'm forced to do this, but I'm afraid for the foreseeable future I will not be able to continue/afford the Pathfinder Battles miniatures. I have decided to step down from a promotion I took 6 to 7 months ago (too much stress, and not worth the pay increase honestly), but in doing that I simply can't afford or justify the miniatures, as much as I would like to have them.

I feel I can continue with the Adventure Path and maps subscriptions, but please cancel the miniatures.

Thank you in advance for your service and understanding.

Dean

Well what is the promo figure/miniature?
(I know what I'm hoping for, and I know the speculation) but it would be nice to see it actually announced/confirmed.

Tiamat?
(And while we're at Wizkids - gargantuan)?

Very excited to hear (and see) that The Lost Coast is the next PF Battles set release. The cultists look great and hearing that there will be some additional Lamashtu cult inspired minis is also very cool. (Could one hope to see a Medium (or Large) Lamashtu herself? A Rare mini of course).

And, since Lamashtu and Pazuzu's rivalry has long been established (and both have designs on The Lost Coast and Varisia in particular) could we also possibly see a Pazuzu miniature (also of the Rare rarity).

Well, no matter what minis we get to see, I am looking forward to The Lost Coast set.

Hi, I see that an order I placed at the end of February (taking last minute advantage of the 12thman discount code) is still pending (order # 3017594).

While a much more recent order (#3041542) is shipping (or may have shipped) at this time.

Is there an issue with the earlier order? (Or is it because some of the items may not be in stock in your warehouse)?

Oh, another question, somewhat related I think ... I got an email stating that there was a problem with an order (that I didn't have a card # for the order) or some such. But now the order is shipping, so I'm hoping maybe it was either a scam from someone else (pretending to be Paizo) or that maybe recent deposits to my bank account and a 2nd "authorization attempt") have cleared up the problem.

Sorry that my questions are "all over the place" I'm just not sure what's happening with some orders/items - and want to clear up any issues if I can.

Thanks,

Dean aka (The_Minstrel_Wyrm)

I know, I know ... "Wrath of the Righteous" hasn't (quite) concluded yet ... but I've been thinking about this since "Mythic Origins" came out and decided to start this/ask this question. (If it's been asked elsewhere or before forgive me) ... anyway, I happen to think that the next Mythic AP (say around 2016 or 2017) should occur on Iblydos (Golarion's analog to Greece) ... and it could have a very "12 Tasks of Hercules" vibe ... or even "The Odyssey" or "Jason and the Argonauts" or heck all three of those stories. The Developers at Paizo now have a pretty good idea about crafting an AP that makes use of their "Mythic Adventures" HC ... and they likely have enough feedback to know what worked and what didn't for their first mythic AP ... that another one in the near future isn't out of the realm of possibility.

So I say that the next Mythic AP is set on Iblydos ... and to accompany that we could get a "People of the Isles" Player Companion (or whatever an Iblydos player companion would be called) as well as a 64 page Campaign Setting Iblydos Gazetteer.

Thoughts? Opinions? Comments?

Hello,

I'm sorry if this might be in the wrong forum, but I'm looking for news (any news) regarding Axel from Headless Hydra Games. I've done some freelance work for him, and have actually pitched him a PDF series (Libris Monstrous) which Axel accepted. Author Sam Hing has also come aboard as an additional writer for the PDF series, and turned in a manuscript and I have since turned in a 2nd manuscript ... months ago ... and haven't had any updates/communication. I'm worried about Axel, and just want to know everything is okay.

However, at the same time, I'm also concerned/wondering what becomes of "Libris Monstrous" if something has happened to HHG.

Axel, if you see this please PM me ... or email me.

If anyone has ANY information to share ... that's appreciated as well.

Thanks in advance,

Dean

Good Afternoon Paizo Customer Service team,

If I could have you cancel my Pathfinder RPG subscription ... it would be appreciated. (Once again, not because I dislike your products, I just can't afford a lot of extras right now).

Going forward, I'd just like to retain the Adventure Paths and the Flip-Mats/Map Packs ... thank you.

**Meant to make this request sooner, hopefully I'm asking/posting this in plenty of time.**

Regards,

Dean Siemsen

I had received an email stating that my order was finalized and could no longer be altered etc.

Here on the paizo site, it indicates that my August order was shipped on the 13th of the month ... I know, I know that I have access to the PDFs ... but I still haven't received my actual copies ... and was just wondering if there has been some sort of error, delay, or unforeseen problem. From the "tone" of some of the community ... the "August subscriptions" thread would seem to indicate that I am not alone in (possibly) not yet having my hard copies.

As of quarter till three (today) ... I have not as yet received my paizo shipment. I'm a little concerned is all. Other times in the past, I've had packages stolen from my front porch (but you wonderful folks at Paizo have always helped me out) ... but that hasn't happened in a long time, and never at my (current) address.

How much longer should I wait - before it becomes clear that the package either arrived (and was taken) or that there has been an major unexpected delay ...

Thanks in advance.

Dean

Good Morning Paizo Customer Service,

You folks were kind (and awesome) enough to have done this once before at my request, and if possible I would need you to hold-off authorizing my August items until Friday (8/9/2013) - as I am paid then and will have money in my account. I had (another) financial hiccup (not Paizo related) and it has overdrawn my account, and I won't have funds until Friday this week. Thanks in advance for your wonderful Customer Service and willingness to work with me. It means a lot. :)

Sincerely,

Dean Siemsen
