Hi,

I'd like to cancel my GameMastery Cards subscription please.

Thanks!
Toby

I'm a big fan of occasionally chucking my players into the middle of a situation - my experience is that it produces memorable and enjoyable gaming sessions, so long as it's done with care.

In an upcoming campaign, I'd like to introduce the PCs during a pitched battle (towards the end, but the players won't know that) and I'd like to add some kind of mechanical effect to emphasise the environment & description. I've had a few ideas, but I am concerned that anything I do removes choices from the players, one of the cardinal DMing sins.

To compensate for that, I have been thinking about balancing what I'm taking away with an extra benefit, like "you've already used an encounter power (pick one) but you've earned an extra action point" or "you're bloodied but you can use two Second Winds this encounter".

I'm not really a mechanics-focussed kind of DM, so does this kind of thing sound workable? Is there a better way?

I may have encountered a bug in the shopping cart.

I am logged in on several machines. I put stuff into my cart from one PC then left it there, and accessed the cart from two of the other PCs.

Then, I went back to the first PC and removed all of the items (from the shopping cart page, which told me I'd made too many requests too quickly). Then I added a new item, which I then bought, leaving my cart empty.

When I came back to another PC, I found that my cart contained stuff - things that I had put in my cart months ago, but removed not much later.

I haven't tried to repeat it, so I don't know if it actually is a bug but it did seem a bit weird!

Hi there,

In my last subscription shipment (989622), the copy of Masters of the Pit was missing. I think it was supposed to come in the first package with the campaign setting (as the package said 3 books but there were only two). I waited for the rest to arrive, just in case, but they turned up today, also without it.

Could you send one out to me please? I don't mind waiting for the next subscription shipment if that's easier for you guys.

Thanks!

Oops!

In my eagerness to take advantage of your DCC sale, I ordered a second copy of one I already have. Would it be possible to swap my order of "The Sunless Garden" with "Bloody Jack's Gold"?

If not, could you just remove it from the order please?

Thanks and I'm sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi,

It seems that increasing numbers of PDFs, particularly in the Chronicles range, are only part-readable in Foxit Reader, my preferred PDF reader. Is supporting Foxit fully planned for the future?

Thanks,
Toby

Not wanting to risk taking a knife to my copy of the Guide to Korvosa, I was going to print out the poster map, but I haven't been able to work out how to get it to "tile" print across multiple pages - it looks like it would be something like 3x3 A4 pages. Aside from taking it to a print shop, or buying the full version of Adobe Reader, can anyone suggest a solution please?
