Yeah, I saw that after I posted.

For me, it appears nothing has been migrated. OTOH, nothing's been lost either. <knock on wood> Overall, I like the new store. Don't like that's it's difficult to find the digital editions of things. Don't like that it's apparently impossible to get a listing of Adventure Paths (haven't looked at other things yet) in any order other than alphabetical. I was trying to get a list in order published. Also, what happened to the breadcrumbs that took you from a given product to the previous one or the next one? That dead too? :-( It was particularly useful when looking at Adventure Paths.
So I went and looked at store.library.whateveritis and found a page of fifty items that I'd apparently never downloaded, going back a few months to when I cancelled all my subs. So I downloaded them. Not a great experience -- I ended up with 50 new tabs in my browser. There was a link to "page 2" (of five or so) and a notation that there are 1112 items in my library. So I clicked on page 2. It's blank. Nothing there. There was a link to the "legacy" download library at the top of the page, so I went there. Familiar territory, and nothing I haven't already downloaded. Conclusion: there are two separate libraries. Will this always be the case?

Re: snow. Wimps. :-)
Correct me if I'm wrong: All the calories in donuts are in the donuts, so there are none in these donut holes I'm snacking on right now. :-)
Got some new cookbooks: Edna Lewis, In Pursuit Of Flavor and The Taste Of Country Cooking
So much reading to do. :-)
Went to Wegman's today. Tomorrow will be chili, half ground beef and half chorizo. I can go easy on the cayenne, because the chorizo is already spicy.
Chili for dinner last night. Next time I'm gonna sub chorizo for about half the beef.
Again, I think the issue with AI is it produces a sub-par product and can easily be outsourced for less cost. In union terms, it's essentially anti-union work and Paizo, as a union, should be against it and hold firm against it creeping its way through until it can be properly regulated and negotiated around. Properly regulated by whom?
Personally, it seems to me that Paizo's reaction to artificial intelligence is irrational. <shrug> They're not alone in that.
Not yet….it’s in the pile that will eventually fall over and crush me.And on the other, other hand....Have you read The Mote In God's Eye? Move it to the top of the pile. :-)
And on the other, other hand.... Have you read The Mote In God's Eye?
I'm in the forums. I have a list of topics. The list says I have an unread post in the forum discussion attached to a blog post. I click on the link that should take me to the unread message. It takes me to the blog, no access to any discussion. Same for product discussions. The link takes me to the store.
In a fit of pique because they didn't get a series, Spectre went on to attempt to conquer the world, and were defeated by James Bond.
Am I correct in thinking that whatever I have "saved for later" in my cart will disappear on Monday? Not a problem, really -- if I haven't bought it by now I almost certainly don't need it. Still, I'd like to know.
Hm. This just occurred to me: will the current "My downloads" list be available on the new store?
Agree with your last. As to the first, yes, I think in The Mwangi Expanse and probably in some earlier books (Player Core?) Not sure about Osiriani being "Common" in Geb, although it may be the most commonly spoken language there. GM choice, maybe.
Nice characters! I like 'em both. Very minor nit: her Pathbuilder array list's Janet's sex as male. And a question: having been born in the Mwangi Expanse, shouldn't Janet have Mwangi as a language? I much prefer the Harnmaster way of dealing with languages: you have a native language (the one you were born into) and may have others depending on your background. So Janet would have Kholo as her native language, Mwangi as probably her first secondary language, Taldane as the next one (based on her move to Cheliax), and then others. Of course, Pathfinder's approach is different, but the abstraction level leads to problems. Is "Common" actually a group of languages, and someone who speaks "Common" speaks whatever the common language is where she is? If she moves (Mwangi Expanse to Cheliax for example) does she automatically learn the new "common"? Most people won't care about this, just picking languages sort of at random based on INT mod, and otherwise basically ignoring linguistics and languages as an aspect of the world. And so do I, perforce, when playing this game. But, as they say, I don't have to like it. :-) Added: Also, nobody calls the language they speak "Common". It's Taldane, or Mwangi, or Tien, or whatever.
Youtube. I used to have Premium. Apparently that expired, because now I'm getting ads every ten seconds or so it seems. Or would be if I hadn't stopped looking at Youtube because of that. Yes, I could just buy Premium again. Probably. But I'm still pissed at them for just expiring it (I thought it was on auto-renew like most of my subscriptions) so to Hell with it.
I sincerely hope the new forum software, when we get it, fixes the current software's "if it's a product page and a reader is trying to get to 'unread posts' then go to the top of the last page that has old messages on it" (or whatever it's actually doing that requires me to scroll through a couple of dozen messages before I find the ones I want) while "if it's not a product page, go the the last message the reader read". LOL! When I posted this, the software put it at the bottom of the page -- and then took me to the top of the page. :-((((
This thread is now useless. Lock it please.
My plan for the foreseeable future is to nurse this cold until it goes away or kills me, whichever comes first. It's making my teeth ache. The ones I no longer have.
Hm. I don't pay much attention to how Paizo does monsters in PFS scenarios. Are they always from the Bestiaries (Monster Core I guess they call it now) or do they create new unique ones for some scenarios? If it's the latter, I agree the lack of stat blocks would be an issue. For the former, well, I have the battle cards, so it should be fairly easy fore me at least to pull the ones needed for the scenario. Yeah, if you don't have the battle cards (which I grant are an added expense) you have to manually grab stat blocks from somewhere (the bestiaries or AoN I guess) and that's a pain.
I'm dealing with a character (Harnmaster, not PF2) who has some forty spells in his grimoire. He's also got a problem: some months ago, trying to learn a new spell, he critically failed his casting roll, suffering a spell misfire that knocked out everyone in the chantry. He woke up first, so no one noticed that he just wandered off -- because the trauma caused him to lose his memory and his ability to speak and also to cast spells or to consciously use any of his arcane talents. So now he's in another country making a living as a teamster. Oh, and somebody he met along the way stole his stuff when they discovered he wouldn't be able to rat them out. The question is whether his colleagues at the chantry will figure out that he's still alive (most think that he's dead or transported to some other world altogether) and will try to find him.
For either side, apparently.
There's a pretty strong case to be made that OP is not really bringing in enough business to justify the costs for sustaining it. You are privy to Paizo's data on the costs and revenues of the OP business? I'm surprised.

I had pre-ordered a Kindle version of this from Amazon. Just got notified they cancelled the pre-order, on the grounds that the Kindle version ain't gonna happen. Very disappointed I am. :-(
I never liked the level idea anyway. At least, not once I discovered non-level-based TTRPGs, like Harnmaster.
I already cancelled all my subs. Nothing to do with "Paizo Plus" really. I just a) can't afford to keep buying everything and b) don't have any place to put it anyway.
Somehow the title "The Dead God's Hand" has me seeing Wednesday Addams explaining to TSA why she has what appears to be a severed hand in her carry on luggage. :-)
My favorite Twilight Zones from that first run are "The Howling Man" and "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" (which starred an unknown actor named William Shatner). I have always thought that Harlan Ellison's short story "Jeffty Is Five" would make a great Twilight Zone episode. I also liked his "A Boy And His Dog", which was made into a 1975 movie.
Yeah, Mouser is another one, and probably better suited to, as you say, "thief with wizard training".
I like the AP change. No opinion on the PFS changes, at least not yet. I just recently decided to change my approach from "buy everything Paizo publishes and hope I can find someplace to put it" to "no subscriptions; just buy the pdf as it becomes available". So how much will the pdf for these eighty dollar APs cost?
Agree with NorrKnekten. I supose this is a decent rule change, and I'm sure a lot of players are happy with anything that makes their lives easier, but I'm tempted to view it as a "dumbing down" of the character. But then, IMO Pathfinder isn't really a role playing game, it's a "kill the monsters" game.
Gord the Rogue was a creation of Gary Gygax's. There were a couple of novels about him, as I recall. My question is "how would you create him in PF2E?" Probably pretty simple: He starts out as a Thief, and later adds Wizardry to his resumé (via Wizard dedication I would guess). I wonder though if there's anything special in Gord's CV, perhaps some special ability not covered by "Thief with Wizard dedication". I suppose you'd have to go back and read the books -- if you can find them. Hm. Wizard dedication. Which School?
I was just looking for an icon pack for the 27 current PF2E classes. I did find a pack for Starfinder (1E from the original date - 2017) but none for PF. :-(
What a weird idea! I like it! :-)
Where is Delos D. Harriman when we need him?
Well, I did it. Just submitted a request to CS to cancel this order, empty my sidecart, and cancel all my Pathfinder and Starfinder subscriptions. Three reasons: I haven't played in several years and have no likely prospects for playing locally; I'm about out of room to store books, maps, etc.; I'm about totally broke. So I'm out. I may buy the occasional Kindle book or pdf, but I'm out. So long, Pathfinder, it's been good to know you. :-(
This is still my favorite AP.
Cheops' Law: Nothing ever gets built on time or within budget.
Even Amazon fails occasionally. I just cancelled an order that I originally placed on June 15th, because they "delayed" it three times. To be fair, they relied on a third party vendor. Still Amazon is the "face" of this order, so it's their fault. :-)
Harnmaster: Kethira, in Chapter 4 (Possessions) on page 102, lists 11 Polearms: 3 Chivalric (Nobility only), 3 Common (anyone might have one), 5 Simple (non-noble soldiers, basically) ranging from the Falcastra to the Trident, and including the Staff and the Spear. Pictures on page 103. :-)
Tried that. Several times. Still no joy. :-(
I didn't know they were doing phone service again. <shrug>
Downloaded the file twice just now. Both times it contained a folder with one file: Droven at level 5. :-(
