Hi all,

Sincere apologies if this is not the correct place, but I have looked at all of the other forums and am not sure where is best to post this.

I have a question about the Battlecry! Pawn set.

Has this product made it to distributors in the UK? Every retailer I can find have it listed as out of stock or not listed. Has it been in stock and sold out or has it not yet arrived? I know there are issues revolving around retail distributions with the Diamond bankruptcy last year.

I buy my books directly from Paizo, and despite the international shipping I find this worthwhile as (a) I get the free pdfs, (b) I can support a great company directly, and (c) books are exempt from VAT import duties here in the UK. Pawn boxes are not books, and so the additional postage costs (they are heavy!) and the import duties mean it is not viable for me to purchase these directly from Paizo, so I try to support brick and mortar retailers in the UK, but none can "find" this product.

Can anyone advise please?

Thanks.

IIRC there is a map of Thassilon before Earthfall somewhere. It might help envision how Earthfall affected the coasts and thus guess at their old configuration.

Yeah, that's the one at the end of Rise of New Thassilon, the sixth book of Return of the Runelords.

Additionally there is a larger version of this map in the Return of the Runelords Map Folio.

I would echo the sentiments of Owen Martin above.
I would welcome an option to sign up to as many subscriptions as I want to (I currently have four), for these costs to be worked out for the year, then to pay in monthly instalments, ideally including shipping. I know this is probably tricky to set up, but I have noticed that a number of kickstarters/gamefound etc projects are offering an option to pay for expensive luxury games over time, and I I think that fabulously produced books such as those Paizo produces fall into this category.

As I said, not something I expect to be there at launch but it would be a most well come option for further down the line.

Hi all,

I’ve recently started GMing PFS 2e and have a few friends interested. I’m running the intro scenarios featuring Rain in Cloudy Day and the players really like this character! I will be running it again for a different group of friends and I wondered if there is a suitable mini or pawn to represent Rain? I bought the Leshy boxed set but the fungus leshy there is quite menacing and lacks the “cute” appeal of Rain. Can anyone suggest something suitable?

Thanks in advance!

If you or someone you know has access to a 3D printer, there is an STL file available for purchase of a "Spice Farm Leshy" figure that looks extremely similar to Rain on STLFinder, MyMiniFactory, etc.

Thanks so much! This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for replying and sharing!

It does something strange to my brain to think of folk playing DnD using Golarion as the setting, given how baked into PF2 Golarion is. How many people are playing DnD using Golarion as their campaign setting? I know you can just move Otari and AV into your own (or a published) campaign setting, but I’d still be interested to know if people are playing in Golarion using DnD (or Savage Worlds)…

I can’t speak for 5E but as a long time player of Savage Worlds (and therefore active on various forums etc for the game) I can confirm that there are definitely lots of people playing in Golarion using Savage Worlds. I am one of them, though currently I play mostly PF2e (with a little PF1e and a sprinkling of other systems for good measure!).

I suspect the numbers using SWPF are far fewer than PF2e (as you might expect) but I have no data to evidence this. I do know over 2800 people backed the Savage Worlds Pathfinder Kickstarter, and I know I see the SWPF books in many FLGS here in the UK, so it seems to be in quite wide distribution.

Two things I'd like to add:

Thanks to Jim for being so active and responsive on this topic, and...

Longer-term, we are looking to have distribution partners in Europe and Australia that will be able to fulfill Paizo products. We haven't yet scoped that integration work, nor have we secured such an agreement with a partner that can do B2C fulfillment. Warehousing products in Europe and Australia would allow us to ship them there...

This is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS news for us international folks. I want to subscribe in order to support Paizo as their values align closely with mine, but I often feel I do this in spite of the very high shipping costs. The fact that Paizo have listened to feedback and have plans to do something about it is phenomenal news, and gives me even more warm fuzzy feelings about the company!

Thank you so much!

As an international subscriber to four lines (so I get the free PFS scenarios) I am mostly positive about this.

I’m pretty sure I’ll start at the highest tier due to regular subscription prices (though if I were to nit-pick it would be a rare boon to international subscribers/customers if shipping were rewarded- every month the cost of shipping makes me wince but I am fortunate to have a sufficient income so I can support Paizo directly, which is why I have the subs) so I keep the 15% discount I get from Paizo Advantage. I’m assuming the 15% discount will apply to subscriptions?

I won’t automatically get the PFS scenarios and having to redeem gold to get them does feel a little clunky, but I guess the increased flexibility means that I don’t have to spend gold on them (but I will!).

Am I correct in thinking that the cheaper redemption for PFS will also apply to PFS Quests and PFS Bounties?

I agree with many others- I’m not sure you should be rewarding people for engaging with Twitter/X.

So overall I’m feeling positive about this- thanks for the time which has gone into this.

I look forward to hearing more about subscriptions and the new store front soon!

Thanks,

Tom

Congratulations on the promotion Alex! Richly deserved!
I’m hoping to get to UKGE so perhaps I’ll see you there!
Very excited for the next season of PFS.
Congrats to James for the Fifth Donut too!

Update- I have just received an email from Humble Bundle and refreshing the HB page produces a code which has worked- for me at least.

Thanks to whoever sorted this out.

Just adding my voice to echo what stigand said above- I cannot redeem the $15 tier as I get a message from Humble Bundle saying "keys are temporarily exhausted for this product". Is this something Paizo can sort out or is it a Humble Bundle issue?

Fabulous news! I look forward to listening on my commutes next week!

I just wanted to thank you vornn for (a) creating such fabulous maps and (b) sharing them so freely. I’m about to run this AP (first session in two weeks!) and though three of the four PCs are in person (one remote via video link) we are using foundry for maps and tokens etc and your maps are sooooo much better than the ones from the books.

Is there anyway I can contribute to your expenses (or make a recognition of the time you invest)?

Thanks so much.

Tom

I’d echo this- it was great to have the Paizo Live as a podcast as it’s much easier for me (and I’m sure many other commuters) to listen to a podcast rather than watch a video. If it’s not too much hassle for someone please consider making this a regular thing!

Just a note to say that I tried to navigate to these via the shop links for accessories then cards and only the pre-remaster ones were visible, and I found these via a link in the product description. Just thought you might want to update the links?

I'm in the UK and (as long as the total value is below the limit allowed by UK law) Paizo collect VAT at the checkout where applicable (so it is paid in advance) and I pay no fees upon receving the items. This works well for me.

This is an amazing deal! I already have much of this but it's a fabulous way for my players to get the core books at a great price- and help a good cause. Thanks Paizo!

I've had nothing on shipping (I'm in the UK) and no email with PDF codes. Have posted on Gameontabletop and now posting here. Really disappointing given a date of 31/8 was set for PDFs and after 3 years that deadline has also been missed.

Could someone from Paizo update please?

For what it’s worth I’m in the UK and I got an email with a code to access the pdfs at 0137 BST on 1st September. I have now redeemed the code and have access to a lot of pdfs. If it helps the code was sent to the email linked to my Paizo account rather than that linked to my crowdfunder email.

If you haven’t got your link yet I hope you get it soon.
