I just received 4 copies of the Tomb of Golarion. I have a subscription and should have only received one copy. Also, I have not received any other item on my subscription. I have one item in my sidecart (Guide to Numenara).

Any ideas why I got four copies of the Tomb book? Also, what do you want me to do?

Thanks


Okay, this is just a general observation I've made recently. Is anyone else experiencing slow shipping with USPS and their Paizo products? It seems that my shipments are much slower than they once were. Normally, I would get the shipped message and the items would arrive in 5-8 days. It seems like the normal now is 8-10+ days. Right now, I am waiting for items that shipped on November 30 to still arrive.

Maybe I'm just more impatient, but it really seems the USPS has been slow the past three months.

Anyone else having a similar slowdown?


I am really enjoying the story and characters. I like the way the characters are being thoroughly developed. The mystery behind Salim's past feels a little forced early in the story, but I must say I'm intrigue about how he came to this point in his life. Overall, it is a very good read. Looking forward to finishing it later in the week.

Okay, got my box sets in yesterday and luckily had a family gathering last night. I presented a box set to my 12 year old and 8 year old nephew and one to my 9 year old niece.

First impressions, they LOVED the pawns and fretted over picking exactly the one they wanted to be their character. My 8 year old nephew went so far as to try to keep the fighter pawn from my niece's set because it was the one he picked as his (I had to explain that he had one just like it in his set).

Second, they wanted to play immediately. Therefore, I had the mayor of Sandpoint send them out to Farmer Malachi's farm where a goblin raid had taken place the previous night. They made their way to the farm and nearly took out Malachi when he came around the farmhouse corner...they just knew that noise around the corner had to be goblins!!! After a short roleplay of meeting Malachi...the group set off in the direction of goblin tracks.

Since we did not have time for the full mini-adventure(and my 8 year old nephew kept saying..."Get out the Maps!!"), I used the open side of the flipmat to run an encounter where 5 goblins were laying in wait in the tall grass. The goblins succeeded on stealth against everyone but the rogue and combat began. It was a fun encounter with everyone killing at least one goblin. Everyone was involved and had fun. The night ended with a meal at farmer Malachi's house and an invitation to stay the night and return to Sandpoint in the morning.

Overall, the new character sheets were great. Everyone was getting to the point of knowing where their basic stats were by the end of combat.

Excellent job Paizo!


Excellent work again. The pace seemed a little rushed compared to the other entries, but I guess that is a function of it being a short web fiction. Still think Roubris needs his own book!
