Hello,

I received a damaged card in my copy of PACG Fortress of the Stone Giants. It is a copy of "Magic Spyglass" that appears to have an errant bit of paper glued to the face of the card. It's playable since this doesn't mark the back of the card, but it is something of an eyesore. I have already emailed customer service with a picture but have not received a response as yet.

Thank you,

I don't have my card right in front of me, but the problem with the Spectre's Wisdom check is the text says "If your check to defeat does not include the Magic trait, the Spectre is undefeated." Problem is, there's no way to add Magic to the Wisdom check.

I think it should probably read "If your Combat check to defeat does not include the Magic trait, the Spectre is undefeated." Otherwise the inclusion of the Wisdom check would make little sense -- you could never defeat it with Wisdom, only dodge it.

Thanks!

Vic,

I can say there is a slight tone difference -- some lighter, some darker. Then I have one that has what appears to be a water spot despite having been sleeved from the very beginning. I'd have to dig them out and get very carefully taken pictures to show it off, I think, given the quality of my phone's camera. That said, it's not really a big deal to me -- I don't remember which are lighter/darker or even which has the apparent watermark over the 'Pathfinder' logo. I just figured I'd mention so you know.

If it helps, I can get pictures of them to customer service but I don't feel they need replacing. (=

Thank you!

I understand the business model; so this isn't a condemnation of it or anything of the sort. Just another point of view:

I strongly support my local game shop. So I am purchasing this through them even though I could get a slightly lower price through Paizo directly. I realize it is not as convenient for Paizo to sell through a distributor and game store rather than directly as they already have the infrastructure and support to sell directly at this time. They ARE making the cards available through local game shops, too. So really the only one I'm missing is going to be Fire Sneeze and that is simply because I don't make it to conventions.

To be fair, I'm also not entitled to anything just because it exists. So I don't begrudge them the choices. I just wish they had some other way to get the Fire Sneeze card.

Thank you,
-Atma

Yeah, I saw that and there's not much on their page other than that one game day, really. May well check it out if I don't find something else for Saturdays by then, either way.

Thanks,

Irnk,

I live in Waldo, work in the northland, do quite a bit of my shopping in the OP area, and generally game down in Lee's Summit (board game night and such). So, uh, in short... all over. Plus I'm willing to make a drive to most anywhere in the general metro area. Getting out to Lawrence or up to Fort Leavenworth or such would be a bit further, but I'm sort of not sure if those are even technically in the metro. (=

Thanks,
-A.D.

Hey forums,

So now that I'm working a Monday to Friday, 9-5 type schedule I find that my Saturdays are curiously empty. I've lived in town but kept myself busy enough with work for the past six or so years that I still don't know many people. Anyway! Short version is I'm hoping to find a Pathfinder (though D&D 3.5 would do. Mechwarrior/Battletech would be awesome but unlikely. Over all, though, honestly not that picky. =) that I could get into on Saturdays here in the general area.

Thanks in advance!

A note re Guidance: It adds the magic trait to the check. So, say Valeros doesn't have a magic weapon yet and is facing down a Shadow. Cast Guidance on him and he can actually kill it instead of just not take damage!

Good luck,

I get that this is annoying in single player, but it matches the 'flavour' of the character; that is that they have taken a vow of poverty.

In any case, in multiplayer you can hand that item off to another group member. The way I do it is to make a pile of cards that each person says 'I don't need, take what you will.' as they're rebuilding, and anyone can pull from those. If you remember that someone got a boon you want and it's not in that pile, you can ask but they don't have to give it to you.

Thanks!

I'd be onboard with a print PDF plus a "most important" pack once those are determined. Then a collected, official, printed on the same presses as the rest of the game, errata pack after all six adventures are out and have had time to be thoroughly played in the real world.

Personally, I have a B&W laserjet so printing my own isn't great but it's at least very cost effective and since I'm already in the sleeved camp I don't mind that. With the most important being available on-demand I might even just keep the errata around for clarifications but otherwise play without the update inserts.

In the end, as I'm kind of a gotta-get-them-all type buyer (and so is my partner! She has every Ticket to Ride board released in the US. I have every Power Grid board released over here, too. >.> ) I would prefer to have a same-presses-as-original pack but until the errata are chiseled into stone tablets and handed out as commandments I entirely agree it'd be silly and not cost effective to do.

Thanks!
