Hi,

Order #2633667 contained a variety of items from the Great Golem Sale. Some of them shipped last month, but the Adventure Path has been marked pending for a month. Could you let me know if this order will be fulfilled, or if there is some problem that I need to resolve to get this to ship?

Thanks for your help.

I never received this order in the mail, and it has been two weeks. Could you please check on the status of this order?

Thanks

I'd like to cancel my Adventure Path and Roleplaying subscriptions.

My order made October 6 is still pending. Any idea when it will ship given that the products seem to be available?

This order has been pending for several weeks. All the items seem to be available. Any idea when this will get shipped out?

Thanks for your assistance on this.

Please cancel all my subscriptions.

That is, the Pathfinder Adventure Path, Chronicles, and Modules. I'm getting less utility out of them these days.

I'd like to combine these two orders if possible. I know that will delay the shipment of the first order, but that's ok.

Thanks.

This was shipped out August 4th, and there is no sign of it so far. It's been 13 business days and counting since it was sent out. My more recent shipment on August 15th got here today, so I'm getting worried that this one is not going to show up. Is there any way to check that it went out as listed or whether it didn't make it through the mail?

This was supposed to have shipped July 10, and I haven't seen any sign of it. Did it actually ship?

Thanks.

The setup for Korvosa seems hard to get straight.

You have a generally LN city with people who enjoy law and order. And you simultaneously have hordes of imps running around the city in little gangs terrorizing people. You also have pseudodragons fighting the imps in the skies. You have a demon-summoning school smack in the middle of town and roving bands of evil Hellknights.

It doesn't seem to hang together quite right. What lawful city would put up with an infestation of imps? Those little buggers can slaughter an average 1st level commoner with ease. (Especially since they are typically presented as total pains in the neck.) I'm just very skeptical that this kind of thing would be tolerated, especially since the magic school is the entire source of these things.

For a LN city, it seems to have a marked propensity for rioting, gangs, etc. There just doesn't seem to be much social control, really. It's fine to have a city dissolving into anarchy, but there is no sense in which the city was ever particularly well-run.

I'm getting increasingly dissatisfied with modules produced by Nicholas Logue. They all seem to share characteristics I find distasteful, and if anything the trends are all pointing in the wrong direction.

What do I expect from Logue modules now? Mass slaughter, innocents getting corrupted or turning to evil, graphic descriptions of torture and pathology, etc. (It's in everything he does, from the articles about Victor Saint Demain in Dungeon, to D1, Hook Mountain Massacre, and now E1.)

Once or twice I might let go, but it is starting to look like every module by him will contain these elements. I'm getting tired of it. I'm sure the Hangman's Noose will have the same elements.

Is every other module in the Gamemastery line going to be by Logue and contain these elements? I realize my opinion may be in the minority, and that's fine. But if the situation remains the same, I'm going to have to ask for a Logue-free subscription model or cancel my subscription instead.

Is there any way some of these orders could be combined to save on shipping?

Also, I ordered the Dragon Compendium in Order 543099 before it went on sale. Since it hasn't shipped yet, is there any way I could get the new sale price for it?

I just received the new hardover and it is beautiful! This is exactly how a complete level 1 to 20 campaign should be put together. The artwork is great, and I really like how you have added portraits for all of the main characters and scattered them through the book where they are needed. I'm also really glad that you added Drakthat's Way, and I like it.

Two things bother me about the hardcover. One is minor: I would have liked to see more advice about starting out the party, which character classes are useful, which are not (ranger and druid obviously), etc. The level suggestions are given, but the sidebars for adjusting the level are gone.

The other one is more serious, and I hope it is not replicated in Age of Worms. There are way too many dungeon crawls! Just looking though the adventures and including the new one, seven of the twelve adventures are pure dungeon crawls or almost entirely dungeon crawls. Very few of the adventures involve significant outdoor encounters, and nine of the adventures have significant portions where characters delve into the earth around Cauldron to root out evil. There just isn't even variety here, and some character choices are clearly suboptimal, like ranger, druid, and paladin.

I really hope this isn't the case for Age of Worms, but the early signs are not good. We've had three adventures so far, and two of them are entirely or almost entirely dungeon crawls. The third one was a much better mix and involved a fair amount of overland travel. I hope at least that Age of Worms is less than half dungeon crawl, and that there is a lot more exploration, outdoor travel, and city intrigue.
