Hello Cosmo!

I want you to cancel all my subscriptions EXCEPT for the Pathfinder Adventure Path #12, Curse of the Crimson Throne, Chapter 6.

I will continue to support the Pathfinder AdPath and Companion but by Amazon. I don't pay the shipment and I receive the books very early and in very good state (french postal service doesn't know what 'do not bend' say...).

Prices are mainly the same between my subcriptions prices and Amazon offers. Sometimes, I'm saving much more money due to the Euro/Dollar conversion.

It was a great pleasure to be one of your customers and I will stay one of your huge fans to the Pathfinder RPG!

Long life to Paizo!

How do I add the Pathfinder Companion to my other Subscription lines without without it charging me right away? I thought there might be a way to add it to my Subs so that it will just pull them when they are released and send them with my Pathfinder AdventuresPaths.

You select the PF Companion subscription, and it will be only charged on your credit card when it is shipped to you with your AdPath issue. It's just like all other subscriptions.

Thank you very much Cosmo for your help!

Have a nice day!

Fred

Hello Cosmo!

How are you? Great and long week-end?

I need your help to combine the orders #981819 and #994678 to in a single order/shipping.

Is it possible?

And if I can have a reduce coupon based on the two shipping rates minus the real shipping rates for these three items.

Thank you in advance!

Fred

Very, very well done Cosmo!

Thank you Vic!

I just received the email for the shipment!

Arghhhhhh!
30 days to stay without these new products in my hands! Ok, I have the PDF but it's not the same to have a book to read, in real! It smell ink & paper, you touch it and it's great! PDF is so "cold" to read on a screen...

Keep going to bring us your fabulous stories, backgrounds and all! Thanks to all the Paizo staff!

Hi Cosmo,

I just received an email from Paizo which said that the Pathfinder 11 will soon be shipped.

What about the Pathfinder 10 with the LB1 module? We are at the gates of July.

It will be more simple to send the pathfinder 10 and 11 with the LB1 module in the same shipment, no? And I will pay shipping rate for one shipment only!

Fred,

The Pathfinder Advantage discount isn't applying yet because you had cancelled your subscription, effectively turning off the discount; after you resubscribe, it doesn't get turned back on until a volume ships under the *new* subscription. So, as soon as your Pathfinder 10 goes out—which will probably be today or tomorrow—the Pathfinder Advantage discount will again be available for you.

Thank you very much Vic for this clear answer!

Best regards,
Fred

Hi Cosmo !

I retry to order the same modules, D1.5 et D3, but the prices are the same as on the online store.
I don't see anywhere the AdPath Subcription advantage of 15% on the cover price.

Is it a bug?

Best regards,
Fred

Hello everyone at Paizo !

I wanted to buy D3 and D1.5 but my AdPath Sub 15% less doesn't appear in the order. I've only remarked that the postal shipping rate was low.
Is it normal or not ?

Best regards!

Fred

It seems that I can manage the general stats, but the magic is something else. If I have a PC who can channel, how to "guide" him/her to play it? That's the point...

Hi guys!

I want to GM the Wheel of Time RPG with the Pathfinder Alpha 3/Beta system.
Since the WoT RPG is set for the 3.0, is there a "common tool" to translate 3.0 stats to Pathfinder?
Does someone write a help on the 3.0 to PFRPG?

Thanks for your answers!

For the moment, Pathfinder.

I read a 4e scenario. OK. Simple RP that can be reduced to a mere 32 pages game module and if you don't have the minis to do the combats, wow, it's a useless game module...

For me, it seem's that D&D4 is a mix of D&D (new look of course!) and Confrontation 4. The more minis you have (and you buy), the best the party is (and WotC gets more and more money).

Where is the pen & paper game? Where? er... I don't know...

I want to GM a new RPG (I'm thinking of the french counterside of CoC, Malefices) but I won't GM D&D4. Never.

Stats of the Wand Rifle from J1:

Spd 30ft.
Melee mwk wand rifle bayonet +5 (1D6/19-20)
Range mwk wand rifle ray +9 (as per spell)

Types of charges of a wand rifle: wand of acid splash, wand of ray of frost, wand of scorching ray...

Price: 400 gp / Weigh: 3 pounds

"Using a wand rifle properly (melee/range) requires the Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat. The wand rifle itself is not truly a weapon and cannot be enhanced as one."

"This wooden-barreled device can be loaded with up to 2 separate wands, enabling its wielder to cycle between them as a free action as desired. The rifle's slender barrel provides a +1 circumstance bonus on ranged touch attacks with discharged rays. Wand rifles are frequently outfitted with serrated bayonets, which share the stats of short swords."

Hello Wolfgang,

Excuse me but how many pages for this magazine ? And what is the shipping rate for France if i subscribe to your mag?

Best regards,
Fred MANSON

PS: I think you must do a deal with Paizo to include your title in the ongoing subscription program.

Hi Cosmo!

How are you? I've a wonderfull news to you and to the Paizo' staff: I can renew my subscriptions in near time! Today, it's the Ongoing Pathfinder Companion and the Ongoing Pathfinder Modules.
We, my girlfriend and me, were so disapointed for our lost jobs that our parents (God bless them!) give us a hand to pay our only game...

Wow, it's great to have a wonderfull and lovely family !

We are sorry for the problems we may have done to you for the cancellation of the Pathfinder ongoing subscription titles...

Friendly yours,
Fred

Hello Cosmo,

Since I've no more job (and my girlfriend too), I'm in the obligation to cancel some ongoing subscriptions: 953723 Pathfinder Companion, 956087 Pathfinder Modules and the Pathfinder Chronicles from now.

We keep the ongoing Pathfinder Adventure Path to the #12 included then cancel this ongoing subscription too.

I don't know when I or my girlfriend will have a new job. In France, it's difficult to reclass the "old ones". I'm 37, IT sector, and she's 32, commercial sector... I cross my fingers that she'll find a job more quickly than I. For me, I think to do a reclassment in, what else, transportation or anything else that gives me a job.

You, at Paizo, did a great job and we are sad to quit this wonderfull word of mystery, adventures and all...

Best luck next time (we hoppe).

Friendly yours,
Frederic MANSON

Hello,

It's not a rule and it's a disguise discrimination. They engage new employees (teens ones) with a very low wage and they "push" the old ones to the exit. It's a gouvernment aids history.

I'm not enough old and no more young to enter in gouvernment aids to the french societies... And that's only the start of my problems to find a new job!

My girlfriend was fired too because two youngs cost less than a not so one. She's 32...

Yesterday night we cut some expenses and this week end, we'll see what we do for our life expenses. We will classify the more important ones, and the secondly ones (AKA games, books, movies...).

Thank you for your kind messages!

They're warming my heart, thanks a lot.

Friendly yours,
Fred

Hello Cosmo,

I'm very sorry and sad to cancel now my pre-orders of #954308 Pathfinder RPG Beta (August 2008) and #954582 Pathfinder RPG (August 2009).

I just lost my job because I'm "old"! I'm 37, but in France, in the IT sector, 34 is the age limit. If you're not in the correct service (AKA a directive one), you have not a great chance to pursue your career...

I need to restrain on all personnal domains (transportation, food, clothes, books... and games too).

I hope I won't wait a long time before I get a new job... And I hope too to not cancel ongoing subscriptions as well...

It's a sad, very sad day...

Best regards,

Fred

Sorry, I don't have a Cam but I'm reading the Alpha 3 in France, in the south at Istres.

And soon, the Beta will be mine!!!!!!! So will be Golarion!!!!!!!

My French character sheet. I hope French-speaking people will like it !

Hi Elvith Gent ! I download/print your PC sheet and I want to suggest one or more things on it :

1/ page 1 : replace "equipment" by "combat"
2/ page 2 : replace "combat" by "equipment"

In this case, the player has his/her 2 more important pages under his/her eyes.

3/ page 3 : add the english none explicit terms. ex : "deception" for "bluff".
4/ page 3 : place the class known skills column before the "competence" one.

En tout cas, thanks for the french Pathfinder players/GMs !

Hello everyone!

I'm a bit confused to write it, but a one or two pages on "How to create your character to play with" will be a GREAT use to the newcommers in the RPG (and for these who didn't play at all a D&D game).

It seems that for the moment, the rules in ALPHA 2, the tables, charts and some rules are written for these who played D&D or another RPG in the same style and not for the beginners.

I write this because many players of my group didn't understand how the whole system is working for their characters.

For myself, I'm also a bit confused on "How the whole is working about" too... And whith no official PF blank character sheet, it's... hum... a bit harder to understand on "How to construct a character", "How to determine skills/feats modifiers", etc.

I discover the PF RGP in replacement of D&D (I never played it nor mastered it) and I love the backgrounds. But I need to find the rules easy to understand too.
I played several RPG as GM, but it's the first time I conduct a Dungeon crawling one.

So, please, in the next releases of the PF RPG rules (ALPHA 3) AND BETA (I pre-ordered it as the final one), add these pages on "How to...".
You will have the newcomers pleased as well as some D&D transfuges!

Thank you to have reading this long post!

Fred MANSON

In France, the diesel is around ¤ 1.40/1 L., the 95 is near ¤ 1.50/1 L. and the LGP is ¤ 0.70 at its maximum. Do the ¤/$ currency conversion rate and prepare you to... cry!!!!! =)

1 copy of the Beta PF rules softbook pre-ordered
1 copy of the hardback PF rules book pre-ordered

and subscriptions to all PF titles

hum... that's all folks !! =)

As I'm living in France, it's clear that I subscribe to mainly Pathfinder ongoing subscriptions because the Euro to US dollar rate currency conversion is good for me. It won't go down before a lot of months...
So, I'll stay with Paizo long months!

Welcome on the Paizo's RPG Pathfinder, Master Monte Cook !
Guys, we will have in the near future, the Best of the Best RPG system ever !

As a newcomer to Pathfinder, I think that maps in a folio is not enought for this product.
Why not include NPC sheets, character empty sheets, battle maps in the miniatures scale...?

OK, we have the maps and it's then useless to flip all the book for the descriptions.
Now, for the PDF version, it's usefull to print the maps in cheap method (laser or B&W inks) for the players. They will have a 'memo' of their adventures.
