hello Friendly Paizo Peopels It is with a heavy hart that I must request that all my subscriptions be canceled at this time. Up coming medical expenses will require a good portion of my discretionary income for a good bit unfortunately. I will gladly sub again when things improve. I have greatly enjoyed your products. Thanks again for all that you do.
So.. I am assuming all the product issues is why I have not seen Issue 166 of pathfinder adventures, ruby fist part one release yet?
Thanks so much! Sorry for all the confusion. Hopefully everything arrives this time. I have never had a shipment not arrive but things are crazy all over right now in the shipping world.
Hello Friendly Paizo Peoples, It looks like there was a slight snafu with order #36369994. I never received the previous order which was Pathfinder Adventure Path #163: Ruins of Gauntlight from #Order 36325095. After contacting you guys a replacement item was placed in my sidecart to be shipped out with my next Subscription Order but I just received notification of my latest order shipping and it looks like the replacement for Adventure Path 163 is still sitting in my sidecart and did not ship with it. Is it to late to fix this? if not can the replacement for issue 163 be shipped out as soon as possible? Thanks
Hello friendly Paizo peoples. As the title says though it looks like the shipment made it as far as Urbancrest Ohio I have not received this order and its been over two weeks since I have seen any movement on the tracking of this order. If you could look into this and find out of it was lost and how we can resolve it I would appreciate it. Id really like to receive this as I was planning on running this with a new group. Thank
Please cancel my Pathfinder Special edition rule book subscription. I will be starting a regular Pathfinder rule book subscription once it can be started with the Advanced Players guide. Thanks
Also the SE versions of the rulebooks often are invisible in your orders until authorization, I've found. ah ok that makes sense. I could of sworn that I saw it on the releases for this month. Thank you for the response.
So.. I have the special edition rule book subscription but I dont see any advanced players guide ready to ship, nor did I get a shipping notification. I would start a regular rule book subscription but I dont see the ability to start with this book. Shouldn't I be getting one with the special edition sub and if not how do I start the regular subscription with the Advanced players guide?
Ignore the above though it took nearly a month it did finally arrive. I hope everyone had a great holiday.
Ignore the above I received an email that corrected the issue. Thanks and I hope you all had a great holiday.
Please ignore the above though it took almost a month to get to me it did finally arrive. Hope things get easier for everyone.
Though #154: Siege of the Dinosaurs (Extinction Curse 4 of 6) did ship I have still not received my physical copy. I see from the tracking that it hit Detroit distribution center on or about 04/26 and has not moved. Any assistance you can give would be appreciated.
Hello Friendly Paizo Peoples. Unfortunately I also have an issue with this order. Despite being subbed to the special edition core book line a copy of the Bestary II did not generate with this order. Any assistance you can give would be appreciated. Thanks
Hello Friendly Paizo Peoples I have not yet received my physical copy of the latest last months Pathfinder adventure path. I see that it shipped and made it to Detroit processing center in the 27th of last month but has not moved or updated sense then. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks
So.. should I be concerned that its a day past the adjusted day that shipping was to be completed and I still have not received a shipping notice? An update on whats going on would be appreciated.
well.. I see at least I am not alone in the no shipping notice yet camp.. I think this is the longest its every gone.
Hmm one day left.. hoping to see that shipping notice soon lol. I planned our first session to be March 1st thinking I would have plenty of time to read the GM guide well before that. Now I am wishing I had pushed it back another weekend.
wow I must truly be at the back of the que this time. I still see just pending fortunately. Hopefully everyone's order gets sorted soon. We are stating our first session March 1st and I really wanted to have time to ready the GM guide before.
Hmm it does not look like an order was generated for me. My Special Edition Game Masters guide is still in the side cart. However my Pathfinder AP (Extinction Curse 2 0f 6) for this month is MIA from my upcoming subscriptions page so hopefully everything sorts itself out.
Just getting ready to start a PF2 campaign Age of Ashes.. would love to have had the option to buy it on Roll20. As it is we will do it the old way but your leaving money on the table from those of us who love to run are stuff on Rol20 :)
Hello friendly Paizo peoples, I previously ordered a Special Edition Game Masters Guide and it is currently in my side cart. I have now subbed to the special edition rule book subscription starting with the Game masters guide. I just want to make sure I am only shipped one of these book as I do not need a duplicate. Thanks in advance. I appreciate all your help.
Ok so just saw this! First let me say AWESOME! been hoping for something like this. However this does bring up some questions. One, if you already bought the Pathfinder Core Rulebook & Bestiary special edition do we get free pdfs of those if we sub? I was waiting to sub to the RPG line after the Gamemaster Guide as I really wanted the PDFS but also wanted the special editions so figured I would top there.. now I dont have too. Two If I have the Special Edition Gamemastery guide already orderd and in my side cart will the system know to remove it and replace it with this one assuming I start with that product?
You can add me to the list of not receiving an email. I do however have a pending order for my account.
Hello Friendly Paizo peoples, With the holiday season approaching and finances needed elsewhere, I unfortunately have to cancel my Starfinder Adventure Path & Starfinder RPG subscription. Please leave my Pathfinder Subscriptions intact. As I am a Pathfinder legacy adventure path subscriber it is my understanding that this should be unaffected. Please let me know if this is not the case. I do understand that this will remove my eligibility for the free society adventures. I love all your products and will be resubbing as soon as I get past the holidays / birthdays and events that make the end of the year fun but demanding.
Hello Friendly Paizo peoples, I am curious. I see that I have received PFS scenario #0 & PFS scenarios #s 4 and 5 but I never got scenarios 1, 2 or 3. I am unsure when my Pathfinder advantage / 4 subscription bonus would have kicked in so im not entirely sure which of all these I am entitled too. If you could check for me and make sure I am good to go I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance for helping me out.
These things come up over and over because Starship combat, while it can be entertaining if the GM spices it up, is a complete mess at the moment with lots of polish needed. I had hoped we would see a ship book before now that would expand and clean it more than it is currently.
the MOST needed thing in my opinion is actual guidelines that work for upgrading ships. Right now while the ship building rules are functional they become immediately broken the moment a group of players upgrade their ship making all NPC ships (at least in printed dentures) superfluous. Beyond that expanded ship rolls and combat actions.I don't understand what the problem is. Your Tier goes up, you have more BP. You swap out whatever stuff you want, up to the new BP limit. Then, in game, you build some refit-time into the story line (like you do for training time between character levels). What's the issue? Have you GM'd games where players have upgraded their ships? Now in home brew games its easier to contend with because the GM is typically making ships from scratch anyway but it immediately breaks any and all printed ships as the PC ship laughably outclasses any printed ship anywhere close to their own tier almost immediately. If you primarily run printed adventure paths this becomes a problem the moment PCs upgrade their ship. They can almost immediately make their ship so unkillable all printed ships become a joke or upgrade their weapons to the point where combat takes a couple of turns of "pew" "pew" boom and the NPC ship is gone. Now while that is entertaining for a couple of combats it quickly tuns Starship combat into a joke.. which is why actual guidelines for what you can build and how much you can upgrade when desperately need to be introduced into the rules. There are guidelines for absolutely every other aspect of leveling and upgrading from guns to armor to PC leveling.. yet nothing for Starship combat.

I can see why people are "invested" in a certain outcome for that AP but to be honest me and my group where like huh, cool I guess thats the story they want to go with and moved on. I mean I tie my worlds together, Heroes become figures of legend or importance in the world when they make new ones and our story rolls on. For us this wasnt anything more than a curious speed bump and we moved on. Our group likes that they are weaving a overall story for the world but then we are also fans of settings like World of Darkness & Shadowrun where this kind of thing is common.
well for every "it's too dumbed down" person there are those like me who feel the that its not at all dumbed down. Changed yes, for the better yes, but the wealth of complexity you can craft into the characters remains. I personally really, really love the new rules. It's a very solid breath of fresh air in what was a very stagnant rules system. I loved 3.5 & Pathfinder but after 15 plus years between them its extremely nice to see some innovation into a setting I really love. This was needed and I am glad to see them be brave enough to really take a fresh look at the system and deliver something truly fresh and interesting.
LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! man now I have to decide whether or not to hold off my new campaign until this book comes out or not. So many good character choices I know my players are going to want to have..
Just noticed that everything that was set to ship this month (Lost Omens World Guide, Age of Ashes 02, Alien Archive 3, Dawn of Flame 06 & Attack of the Swarm 01) no longer show as pending shipments on the manage my subscription page. This may be a result of the authorization shipment emails about to go out but wanted to mention it just in case its a wierd bug that might prevent these items from being processed. thanks in advance.
So if I buy this, does it show up on Roll20 with a linked Paizo account over there? Do I get a discount? What's the story there? If you buy the book or pdf you get a discount on Roll20. I do not recall exactly how much. IF you buy the book on Roll20 then you get a free PDF from Paizo.
LOVE This! I would so much love to get some Starfinder novels to read. Please make this happen.
Love the adventure paths so far but I am also puzzled by the apparent disinterest in ANY adventure content for 14-20. I have a fairly dedicated group who would love to continue their characters to 20 and are used to being able to do this in Pathfinder Adventure paths. Odd that this doesn't seem to be a thing in Starfinder.
Persoally love the new rarity system. Will be using it and glad to see they included it. Beyond society play this is all just guide posts for the GM to give them a sense of how often something should be encountered in the wild or found in a local shop and gives a sense of excitement when the players do. Been looking for something like this for a long time and always implemented something like this in my home games anyway.
Ok so here is a question that immediately came up in my group and I was hoping for a answer. Can any class use shields regardless of armor proficiency? Currently shields do not look to be classed as anything (not light, medium or heavy) so does that mean even a class only trained in unarmored defense can use a shield and if they then acquire the shield block feat use it to block damage as well?
So just downloaded my PDF and love what im seeing so far. However.. Why can't I grab the images of the maps off either the Adventure PDF or the interactive maps pdf.. I have never had this problem before. Usually its simply select the image, right click copy and paste. I REALLY need access to this for setting up my maps in Roll20. Its always been a simple process before this. Is this a new change or simply a error in the PDF? If there is some way im missing to extract these images please let me know.

That was fantastic! Can't wait to get my group rolling in 2nd edition!
Personally I went with the Deluxe for all that I could and I don't regret it at all. The edition is beautiful. the Gold embossing is very lustrous and overall its much more impressive that the Starfiner Deluxe edition. it also has two built in ribbon book markers which is a very nice edition. It feels exceptionally well made. If you can spring for it I would personally recommend it but everyone's milage may vary on this sort of thing. ME I like unique books that in a few years will a a nice stand out for my collection.
it is pretty gorgeous, the bestiary as well. So glad they Game Masters Guide is done the same its going to be an amazing set. It has a double ribbon bookmark and the gold embossing is beautiful. Very glad I opted for this edition.
Just saw my books are out for delivery! should be waiting for me when I get home from work.. I just might be coming down with a cold.
I've got my tracking info, but it's been stuck on "transferred to destination MI facility" since Tuesday. Hopefully it's just taking its time getting here. Your not alone. I see this a lot with my subscriptions. They aren't super awesome about updating that. I have seen it sit like that for several days then suddenly its almost arrived.
Amazon does typically come in a lot cheaper however its worth noting that specifically for Paizo books they are usually not available to well after the street date in most cases as they get them from a distributor and not Paizo directly.
Would ordering the Deluxe version give me a PDF version as part of the price? Or would I still need to buy the PDF separately? Unfortunately no. You only get a PDF as part of a subscription. In this case you would still need to purchase the PDF.
As for the buying it twice. I subscribe from Paizo, so I get the PDF for free already from them. I then can take my free pdf and bulid up my adventure in Roll20 for no added cost. To do the same thing in Fantasy Grounds I have to buy it again. If I did not buy physical books, with I prefer and like to collect then that wouldn't be as prohibitive but I do so it is. The licensing also bugs me. its just one more tacked on cost that seems like just another cost barrier. After all that yes the price is comparable but in my case its far more expensive than playing on Roll20 for simply the cost of my sub and a little work which by now is minimal, especially if you use the officially supported sheets with all the macros done for you. Though Fantasy Grounds is a nice service for my case its just easier and less expensive to get virtually the same results.
Roll20 for me by a long shot. its extremely user friendly and I dont have to buy all my content twice. It can do anything fantasy Grounds can do and more but it doesn't do it for you. If you have the expendable cash and want convenience fantasy grounds seems cool but damn is it confusing with all the downloads and licenses. I just prefer the easy of Roll20. Very glad to hear they will be supporting it day one.
It all boils down to basically you view everyone waiting till the release date every time to get their pdf as a new "perk" were as those of us who like the way it is see that as anything but a perk. The choice before us is most people get it slightly early every month or all of us wait... Given that, again these are not time sensitive documents and that I find that the slight spoilers on these threads from those who do get them early builds excitement for me and others. I just dont see how that is in anyway a perk but as with any subject its all relative to your own opinions.
Im not sure what all the fuss is about. Paizo can offer few real advantages to subscribing as they are a smallish publisher in the grand scheme of things. I dont see how making everyone wait is better than just letting things be. As is some getting it sooner and most if not all getting the PDF before street date is far more exciting and better PR for them.. and they dont have to throw more cogs in the machine. Despite the shinny new website it is still prone in its current state to numerous back end issues that crop up nearly every big release like this. Trying to do what your suggesting would be no small task and amount to a very large investment in time and capital to overhaul something like this. Im not apposed to change. Heck, I love it in regards to games and its one of the big reasons im stoked for PF2. but when (what seems like) the vast majority of people are happy with the way things are I just dont see the return on investment for them. The Free PDF already is a very nice perk and honestly the biggest draw to subscribe in the first place. The discount is pretty darn nice too... kicking myself for not doing the Paizo advantage sooner but my group has been doing up Starfinder and as its done mainly on line I had no need for the accessories sub. to qualify for how it used to work for only Starfinder stuff.
