I was able to find what I needed on a trip to my flgs and am an impatient fellow. Thank you!

I've got one from the previous generation, so no bluetooth game remote or the like. I love it though, granted I don't watch a lot of TV but I get enough on it to where I don't pay for cable. Netflix and Amazon have me covered for stuff to watch. (Amazon for current stuff.)
Neo, how fast are page turns for the full core rules (both forward and backward)? It's pretty quick, the only gotcha is that it takes it about a second to render once you stop turning or panning. It renders everything a tad faster and blurry until then. (Opposed to the previous Kindles where rendering a complex page [and RPG books tend to be pretty complex] could take ten seconds or more period.) From what you said, neookami, it seems to have the PDF thing down; anyone have anything to say about how it handles other media types (audio, video)? Audio and video are more the reason they made the Fire than anything else. It integrates incredibly smoothly with Amazon's video service and their cloud player and mp3 store. Though you're not limited to just using those. The build in speakers are decent, not really great, but given the size they're forced to be not bad. If I was using it for audio/video outside of home though I'd definitely have headphones with me. The price is nice, though that being said I'd be more inclined to recommend another Android tablet if you're not prone to shop from Amazon's digital catalog. You're not limited to Amazon's stuff, but it's pretty much front and center all over.
I debated for a minute if I wanted to start a new thread or resurrect this one. I've had my Fire for about a week now. I'm over all pretty pleased with it, and it's PDF support. That being said, I could've been happy with my Kindle Keyboard if it could just render more complex PDFs more quickly so take that with a grain of salt. Held horizontally the page fits rather well, and either way zooming and panning is quick enough to be a reasonable tactic. This is probably gonna tip me into going all digital with my RPG books now. The savings are always nice, and after moving this past Summer, I really didn't want to add anything more to my book collection to spare my back the horrors. (For most text I'd already switched with the Kindle, but RPG and other game books in PDF were a bit of a hold out.)
It pains me to do this, but I've got more books than I can use right now as it is. I just can't justify keeping up the expense right now. :/
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but there's a product I'd like to see available at some point. I'd love to see a rules compendium of sorts offered. A collection of the SRD, all together in a clean text format easy to search through and use as a reference during play. Preferably in a format that's more friends to ereaders such as epub. (Mobi would be even better as I'm a kindle owner, but that's an easy fix I can make myself.) I'd gladly pay for this more importantly. I imagine this wouldn't necessarily need to be made by Paizo either if it's only SRD material. But I'd jump on it in a heart beat.
Thank you very much!
I'd like to cancel my Pathfinder Tales subscription. (Not the Pathfinder RPG subscription though~) The books are good, I just have a reading backlog that's too high. (More importantly the third one's coming up and I've got two books I need to read before I move on to the second one already!)
Gotcha. I tried looking for just a smaller one for the first shipment in case that was it and must've missed it. My apologies. :)
My subscription recently shipped out in two parts. However, I think I may have gotten charged for part of it again when the second portion was shipped. I have a charge for $42.09 that's the full price of the order on the 29th, and now I have a charge for $33.25 on the 2nd. Thanks for looking into this, looking forward to both packages. :)
I'd like to drop a couple things from my pending order if that's alright. Namely the Deryni Dice and Savage Worlds Token Set. Thank you.
Like a lot of the others here I'd say your ruling was fair, but harsh. Ambushing sleeping monsters in a nest is far from noble, honorable, or really good. All things of which a paladin is supposed to be. That being said, I wouldn't call it quite as obvious so I think a warning about the quality of the act would've been fair. If he really had no clue, I'd cut him more slack this time but make it clear he needs to really think about his actions in the future. The paladin's a powerful class but the conduct guidelines are there for a reason.
Well I guess what I'm try to get at is I don't really want to give up the game I love just because my faith says it's "evil" because I don't see anything "evil" about it. There's a difference between your faith saying it's evil and a man telling you it's evil. Crack open the Bible and try and see where it says that you're to not use your imagination to have fun. This D&D is of the devil crap should've died out over two decades ago already. D&D's as of the devil as video games and rock and roll. Just because it's fun doesn't mean it's bad.
Yes, subscribers get the first, error-filled hardcover. Unlike the people that pick it up in a later, edited printing. Which is why I have sad face. Well, until human beings are incapable of mistakes I think this is something that you just expect out of first printings. I'd rather get it early on and enjoy myself though. I can live with a couple typos. I'm not sure if 4 errata documents count as a "parade", but hey, it's not like WotC books didn't have any errata ... oh wait, they call those "updates" now ? Seriously. Something I love and hate about 4e, and ultimately feel alienated about is how pointless most of the books wind up feeling. It's not like Paizo's errata makes the existing books less relevant.
We call it Pathfinder. If anyone asks, I normally say it's a close cousin of D&D. I also play D&D 4e with friends, and that gets called out D&D game.
You can for 400GP. The weapon still needs to start off as a masterwork weapon. Which adds 300GP to the original cost.
The particular organism causing the disease (let's say rhinovirus) will indeed mutate into more adaptive, resilient rhinovirus (microevolution). However, nothing's yet convinced me 100% on that rhinovirus becoming, say Penicillium candida (because I love me some Brie!), or later still a tsetse fly (macroevolution, at least as much as I have studied thus far) I've never really understood the distinction between micro and macro when it comes to evolution. Especially since the theory is normally presented as change coming in slow and small increments. The point however, is that after a hundred thousand small changes, you certainly don't have a small change from where you started.
I think the problem here is that you've taken the position that prostitution is inherently wrong, for either or both moral reasons and harm to those involved. And as such, find even a fantasy representation of such a thing being done in such a way that it is not evil or harmful offensive. That being said, I think this is a discussion that has little do with with the Advanced Player's Guide. As this is simply an example that demonstrates that prostitution can exist in such a way where it is neither evil nor harmful. And this seems to bother you, a lot. That's not to say that most instances of prostitution, especially in the real world aren't harmful and exploit and abuse women. But that doesn't mean that the act of prostitution is in of itself these things. Much like you can attribute many social ills to things such as religion (or any corrupted authority), that doesn't make these things in of themselves harmful. Just that particular instance. Even if most are being executed in a wicked fashion, that doesn't make them in of themselves wicked. (For another fantasy example, just look at the vast amount of fiction where the government is a terribly corrupt social state. That doesn't mean that government is in of itself evil. Even most or even all of the existing examples in the world are.)
Too bad it's still Windows only. And expensive.We're actively working on a native Mac port right now. The plan is to have a Mac version available late this year. Mac compatibility is great. I'm currently using HeroLab in WINE and despite the interface being a little sluggish (WINE, not HeroLab to blame), it runs great. Though I must admit if there was a native Linux version one day, or even tacit support of it under WINE I'd feel even better..
Thank you very much! I appreciate it. VERY much looking forward to this order. :)
I've got a Pathfinder RPG subscription and a Pathfinder Tales subscription. I've also got hold for monthly shipment ticked. Right now both are showing up as pending, but still separate. (The Advanced Player's Guide order having my sidecart tucked in it.) I was under the impression that those were going to be shipping together so I just wanted to check if this is normal or not.. thanks!
Would you mind deleting the Fudge Dice: Set of 4 Black from my sidecart? I'm adding the Deryni Dice in it's place since they're in stock and a spare set would probably be useful. Thanks!
Truthfully pathfinder feels more like 2nd edition to me than 3.5. I know it's an odd statement but that's where it lands for me. I'm thrilled I'm not the only one to kinda get that feel with the game...
The Rules. I kinda missed out on 3.x, and this looks like the definative way to check it out now, that will go on strong for some time yet! That being said, I did order the Campaign Setting because the world looks very interesting and while my group's been enjoying our 4e campaign that's pretty much my own more defined setting up top of the default Points of Light, I thought Golarion would be "the" setting to do our Pathfinder campaign in!
The distributer used by say Amazon, was apparently very slow in ordering and getting their act together. It may ship out sooner still. I do believe Paizo has said that they will change their page to show that they're out before they are so no one is misled. Though they're also about to change locations so that may slow them down on orders. I got fed up myself and ordered through rpgshop.com and my two copies shipped within the hour... but your mileage may vary! (Meanwhile, Amazon has informed me they might be able to ship me my copy of Geist sometime mid-September.)
Would be nice if you could gift it to a friend's Paizo account still. Though could be easily abused still. I'd actually take advantage of this and gift the PDF to my group's players even if it was an option.
It's not too uncommon to offer special discounts at conventions in general, to convention goers. Though honestly, in this case you're talking about just $5. Seems like a bit much to feel sore over, even if you preordered the book over a year ago.
The only downside to the PDF right now is that the bookmarks are a bit fudged. However they are working on fixing that right now, and you'll be notified when it's updated to redownload it.
Just need a few more Mice. Gimme a place to play and I'll sign up in a hurry..
Given that the PDFs of future releases in the line are almost certainly going to be a higher percentage of the cover price, you will definitely want to subscribe before another book ships. Thanks for noting that. This combined with Amazon making me realize just how horribly impatient I really am has me subscribed starting with the Beastiary! |
