Well, it's now April. Any word on when/if we might be getting our books?

They are in the warehouse and should begin shipping this week. Thanks for your patience as we got in a fresh batch!

You'll receive a shipping notification email and your order status will change from Awaiting Fulfillment to Shipped.

Thanks very much for the prompt reply.

Well, it's now April. Any word on when/if we might be getting our books?

Thanks for the info! Reason I was asking, I still haven't received the Dark Archive remastered. Is it still backordered?

Why is it dead?

Why is it in my subscriptions?

Well the time has already passed for that one, but there is an option under your subscription manager, under more options "skip product"

Why has the time passed? I had no inkling that I was going to be charged for the remastered version of a book I already have!

How do we opt out of subscription items we don't want? Specifically, the Dark Archive remastered book.

You're being charged for a whole new book, not a PDF, because for some insane reason remaster-reprints and single-book AP reprints are set up as opt-out instead of opt-in on subscriptions. You have to use the Skip Order thing on subscriptions for all of that.

If you think that change from the way they used to do it is unacceptable, you aren't wrong.

Do they still give the updated PDF for free?

Today is the street date for the Draconic Codex and my order is still "Awaiting Fulfillment". Please advise what I need to do to receive my subscription.

Anyone know where to sign up to get the special coin?

Was notified on Jul 9 that my subscription orders of Battlecry and Starfinder Core would ship withing 3 to 5 business days. Still has not shipped. Who do I contact about this?

The new website is going to have easier ways to pause and cancel subscriptions I believe.

And when is that?

Why was this sent to me? It's an accessory, is it not? I am not a subscriber to accessories.

What leopards? The only thing on our map was a lake, which turned out to be ruins in a swamp. We only found the outlook by chance, traipsing what felt like over the whole map, because we failed perception in the target hex. It just felt so pointless, and we still missed three treasure bundles. There needs to be a way to mark which hexes have been checked.

Will Starfinder 2e have a setting line, similar to Pathfinder 2e's Lost Omens?

Will Starfinder 2e have anything like the Pathfinder 2e Lost Omens line of books?

If I only want Starfinder 2e books, will this subscription do that?

Will this work the same as guns and gears - owners of legacy TV will receive the PDF update for free, and this product will be excluded from the Rulebook subscription?

Hoping that this is the case.

Is this PC only or will it be on consoles as well?

The Kickstarter says it will be released on Steam, but I would expect if it is successful it will eventually port to consoles as well, similar to Wrath of the Righteous by Owlcat.

Well, that's saved me some money! I have a PS5, but my computer can barely run Foundry for games.

I read an article that said Ossian wants this game to be "Like Baldur's Gate 3, but Pathfinder, with miniatures.". In that case, considering I didn't care for Baldur's Gate 3, I guess I'll give it a pass.

Folks going, Paizo deleted my comment, so I'll just say please stay healthy.

My order says "Complete", but I have not received it.

Mine also says "Not Trackable".

10th working day since notification and still pending. I'm starting to detect a pattern...

Reminder that we never got an announcement saying that the tracking problems from before had been fixed, so the assumption should be that it still happens.

Yeah, they should just get rid of that link. It never works.

If I'm not mistaken, the fact that "it never works" is not Paizo's fault, it's UPS's.

If I'm not mistaken, including the tracking option costs extra, so maybe Paizoo could save us that cost, seeing as it never works.

Me too.

Picture of Grefu looks like one of Lovecraft's Deep Ones.

Ugh. I hate music when I'm trying to play. So distracting.

Wear your mask, folks!

Well, if they didn't want, as you call it, "yoyo healing/dying", why didn't they make it when your character hits 0 hp, they die?

Honestly, this rule change has so disheartened me, that I seriously wonder if I want to continue playing this game.

Just waiting for the hardcovers to arrive. The PDFs are there, but I can't read them without getting a headache.

I'd give it a week or two more - I'm just guessing here, but the remaster rollout is probably draining a lot of resources from the PFS reporting email.

Meanwhile, the text of the boon was available on the OPF website which is currently down, but I *think* it's still visible on the PDF version.

Yes, but I want to be able to download the boon for my files.

Having gotten no advice in a week, I suppose I will just try purchasing the boon again and see if it shows up then. If that doesn't work, I have no idea what to do.

Any assistance is appreciated.

I purchased the hireling boon a while ago and, though the points have been subtracted from my ADP, the boon has not shown up in my boon list. I've emailed PFS reporting about it a few times and haven't received anything in return. What can I do to rectify this?

Phones at a games table? That's a recipe for disaster.

Eh, I'll stick with Foundry.

Nope. It is written they work - then they work. One of the base principles of the game - specific beats general.

But it's not written that they work, only that they can be inscribed. Nothing about what they actually do.

For runes it's one and the same. If they can be inscribed at all - they work. It follows from the general rules for runes quite easily.

I also had this doubt (even though I'd completely ignore that even if the intent and text of runes' rules were written less clearly) but then re-read the Runes section.

So, are you saying that the runes only give an item bonus for what traits they have, or that they give an item bonus to Shield Bash, which is not a weapon?

So, you can put runes on a shield with augmentations, they just don't do anything? That makes no sense.

Would doubling rings give the +1 item bonus to shield augmentation traits like Shove or versatile S if you have a potency rune on a weapon?

As I see it, RAW shield augmentation still doesn't say it makes shield a weapon or that augmentation is a weapon for some reason. So doubling rings don't work at all on this shield. On the other hand I don't see any good reason to forbid it.

Though versatile S doesn't interact with +1 item bonus in any case.

Why doesn't versatile S interact with the +1 bonus from a potency rune?

Because versatile S only allows to change damage type to slashing? Which doesn't interact with +1 to hit in any way? Apples and carrots?

Well, +1 to hit from a rune does also make the damage magical, but that again doesn't affect any other types the damage has.

So if you have a weapon with a potency rune, and doubling rings, and you do a shield bash, that Strike doesn't get the bonus from the potency rune?

Asking this again, hoping for some errata.

Are these tickets the same thing as the badge needed to be able to sign up for games?

How do I get a badge to be able to signup on April 17th?

Attempting to escape a grapple is a grapple check? Doesn't say that in the book.

Is this information still correct? You can use modifiers to grapple to escape a grapple?

When will this become available?
