Thank you, Sam! Much appreciated!

Three emails submitted over the past 25 days, no response to any of them. The emails involved only one issue, but now I have a few:

1. Subscribed to Pathfinder Lost Omens. Received my hardcopy, but PDF is not available in my account. Please resolve.

2. Even though I've received my hard copy of Lost Omens World Guide, there is another copy in my sidecart. Please remove this as I certainly don't need two copies.

3. I received, and see, PFS #1-00, but PFS #s 1-01, 1-02, and 1-03 were not added to my account, but I have email indicating that #1-04 and #1-05 were ordered as part of my Paizo Advantage Tier 2 benefits. They also are not yet available in my digital assets.

Many thanks for the prompt attention to this request, and please advise if customer support should be requested via email of via this forum for future issues.

Shamefully bumping thread as I've seen no reply here or on email.

Can you please review and confirm the following for July, and update my account/orders accordingly?

Pathfinder Adventure Path - start subscription with Adventure Path #145: Hellknight Hill

Pathfinder Roleplaying Game - start subscription with Pathfinder Core Rulebook 2.0 but also want the Pathfinder 2.0 Bestiary shipped simultaneously

Pathfinder Adventures - start the subscription with The Fall of Plaguestone

Starfinder Maps - Ice World

Starfinder Society - #2-03 and #2-04

Dear Paizo,

Would you please amend order #7947100 to start with #145: Hellknight Hill instead of #144, which was hardcoded and would not refresh? Seems to be a known issue.

Additionally, please advise as to what I need to do in order to secure both the 2e Core Rulebook and the Bestiary under Order #7932924.

Many thanks!

Ok, Vic, you've intrigued me so I've resubscribed. Looking forward to see what's coming!

I ran my first session of "The Haunting of Harrowstone" last night and had a great time of it. My perception was that the first three encounters we ran through last night did not present much of a challenge. Combat ended by no later than round 3 with the "villains" thoroughly trounced. I'm wondering if I need to beef up the encounters with more combatants or some other method to present more of a challenge.

Any advice is welcome and appreciated!

Not a spoiler, but background:

Is there a reason why I am unable to download the PDF version of the "Inner Sea Companion"? My subscription settings are configured to hold everything until the AP is released each month, and this has never been a problem before.

Please advise.

Thanks!

That's awesome stuff, Niel. Much more than I knew already. I've never even heard of ConCarolinas. I'll do some searches on the webz to find those contacts. Thanks a bunch.

Tho... sorry to be a total newb, but what would be the difference between a Pathfinder Society game and just a Pathfinder game. I must say, it's a bit confusing to me.

Pathfinder Society (PFS) is organized gameplay, similar to the RPGA's Living _____ games. There are additional rules/standards applied for this organized gameplay, as well as specific adventures/scenarios to be played.

I can recommend Above Board Games in Fort Mill, SC as a great location and a good variety of RPGers there. If you find it difficult to find a local group (as I have due to time and family obligations), you may also want to check out the Pathfinder Society Online Collective (http://groups.google.com/group/pathfinder-society-online-collective) as a great resource for finding, and joining in games hosted online.

Hope that helps!

After having read the Gamemastery Guide, I would strongly suggest that be your starting point for at least learning about what goes into a game. Honestly, it would have saved me several years of pain had such a resource been available when I started DMing. If someone in your group has it, ask to borrow it. If not, buy a copy yourself.

From there, I'll echo what others have said about premade adventures. Start with Crypt of the Everflame and try your hand at that. After its conclusion, you can either continue with that series or branch off and script your own scenario from there.

+1 for the recommendation of the Game Mastery Guide. This is, by far, one of the best books I've *ever* run across in setting expectations and giving some guidance on what it means, and what it takes, to run a successful game or campaign.

You are almost certainly aware of this, but I have put a thread up here just to make sure.

When using the good reader app on an ipad to view the core rulebook pdf, the headings and subheadings are garbled. The main body text is fine. I am not a tecchie but I am given to understand that this is due to the fonts used.

This is a shame as, IMHO, the good reader app is the best out there for viewing PDFs in the ipad. As things stand, it makes it almost impossible for me to use the PDF at the game table on my ipad.

I have raised this with the guys at good reader but have yet to get a reply (no surprise there).

Please do not take this as a rant, as it is not, I just thought you guys would like to know. (I can go back to using the PRD on the ipad).

Totally unrelated to this, if I take a subscription to your Adventure paths, campaign setting and player companion, what are the shipping costs for the UK? I cannot seem to find this on your website?

This happens when viewing the PDF in iBooks as well. Sounds like an Apple-centric problem as this is the only platform on which this occurs.

I'm quite possibly interested in Game #2 provided the time works and how severe an @$$hole you plan to be :). What I think you mean to convey is that you don't want rules lawyers correcting every rule you may not know or misinterpret, but discarding an attempt to be helpful may be too draconian (@$$holish) :D.

Thanks!
