I am available for additional trolling, so don't forget to post!

It sure must be nice to be a person that makes no mistakes! Please show us how you do it!

*THEY* are not all out to get you...

Thank Abadar I no longer work retail!

It is wonderful! My first suggestion would be not to use names of fictional creations as if they were real. Nothing says "I live in my Mom's basement" like that.

Hmmmmm.

I think the truth just came out. Some body picked UPS shipping when they made an order and that is where the misplaced anger is coming from.

Bummer for you.

Sean

Gee, did you read their post? Yes the truth came out and that truth is you are a douche bag.

After looking at our logs for this, our technical team did find a bug in the shipping system that affected your shipping address/shipping method, automatically sending it via UPS to the incorrect address. This is not normal behavior for our shipping system and we apologize for the inconvenience it has caused.

I would be happy to send a replacement of #43 to the correct address (we will of course cover the postage for reshipment), however, if you would rather have a refund, we can do that instead. Please let me know if you would prefer the replacement or refund.

As per your request, your subscription has been cancelled and you should be receiving an email confirmation within the next few minutes.

thanks

No thank you, I'll take the refund. I'm not interest in doing business with your company any longer.

At some point there was a human being in their organization who decided to send my package UPS instead of USPS, so they went back, got an old address that was no longer good and sent the package there (because UPS doesn't ship to PO Boxes). I have every right to be angry about this. This is the second time I've told them that address is no longer where I live. They shouldn't assume that they know better than their customers about were the customer wants a package delivered to. It was poor service. And I'm the one out the money with nothing to show for it because they were too lazy to contact me before they made changes to my order.

Because this is an online community where people try to help each other out.

Not call each other names.

With so much anger it makes me suspect the whole story isn't be told on what exactly happened.

At any rate calm down Pazio has a history of treating their customers right. Unless it was totally a customers fault. Even then it seems from the forums they will work with you.

An example is a person had his bag stolen and they helped him out. Not sure to what extent but the gentleman posted a thanks Pazio so it tells me he was happy with the ending.

When you post on a public forum you'll have people read it so YOU made it everyones business. If you didn't want that there are other ways to contact them.

Unless you just wanted to let everyone see your "problem" and complaining. Yet once again thats not how a "forum" works.

Sean

Bag stolen? What are you talking about? You make no sense. I posted here because they respond quicker to my issues here than via email because everyone can see them. Is your life really so boring you have nothing better to do than respond to the customer support forums? Really? What is wrong with you people.

As I recall, when it has more than one address for you, it'll use the default unless you select the new one and then click to specifically confirm that that's the address you want.

Once again, I deleted the addresses where I no longer live. Why do you feel the need to post to something that does not concern you in any way?

It is Sunday. No one is there to reply to you or look into your issue. You are dealing with an automated order system. If you make an order with an address in place it sends you a confirmation with that address. No one is trying to cheat you. What possible advantage would they get out of sending your package to the wrong address?

Calm down. On Monday someone will definitely sort this out for you.

How is this any of your business? Why don't you worry about yourself and let the clowns at Piazo respond to my issue. Idiot.

Here's what the order email says the address to ship to is:

Should ship from our warehouse within 2 to 6 business days. Will ship via Standard Postal Delivery to:
xxxxx xxxxxxxx
PO Box

Here's what the shipping email says. WHY???? This makes no sense what so ever. Why would you do this?????

Shipping Address:
xxxxx xxxxxxxx
3720

Why would you do that? Don't you think I know where I w3ant the product to go to? I will never receive this product now. Thank you for cheating me. This is ridiculous!!!!!

Oh, cancel my subscription. I thought that would be obvious but you never know.

I have entered a new address and deleted my old address yet your website stubbornly refuses to use my new address on this order which has already been shipped to the incorrect address and I am unable to place new orders to my new address. It will not use the new address. RIDICULOUS!!!! This makes no sense what so ever. I will never receive the product from the address you shipped this to so now i'm out of luck. I love your products, but I am sick of the way you do business. This doesn't even make any sense. I think I should decide what address to send my own order to, not you. Thanks for cheating me!!!

The party was intrigued by several details in the story. Blade noticed that the brand that Mival carries appears to be an eye in an upside down triangle, although it isn't obvious at first.

The party also wondered why they hadn't seen a chapel at the keep. What had happened to it and where there any further clues in the mysterious chamber beneath the chapel.

Aroden was touched by Mival's sacrifice and appealed to Fodel to see if Mival could be made a Purpel Dragon for his great service to the crown and Fodel agreed.

The Serf's council heard the party's story from Fodel and where most alarmed by the mention of Cinereal. On behalf of the council, Fodel requested that the party eliminate the threat of this dragon and his goblin horde!

Although Mival's dreams of knighthood now seemed lost, the Dragons used his knowledge to help round up some of his former companions as the main force of Purple Dragons and War Wizards rode to meet Lord Galinfax on the field of battle.

The Dragons and Lord Galinfax' men met in the rolling land just past the hundred span bridge that crossed the sluggish river and wetlands south of the Falls of Tumbling Stars. Lord Galinfax had not been able to gather his full forces yet, but he was able to supplement his troops with creatures from the elemental chaos and the Abyss.

As Mival's group raced north to reinforce the Purple Dragons, fierce elementals battered the bridge. They made it across just in time and the dragons won the day and Lord Galinfax killed himself rather than submit to the King's justice.

Mival was recognized as a hero and was given a full pension and has lived comfortably, but has always been sad he never got to live his dream of being a knight.

When they met Mivel and told him they had slain Ozmet Potts, he told them the story of the Potts he knew, Ozmet's father Azamander Potts. The story began over thirty years before when Mival was still young.

Mival was an page in the service of Lord Galinax of House Bleth, one of the noble houses of Cormyr. Mival was a page for Azamander Potts and over the years the two became close. Azamander was one of Lord Galinfax' closest knights and after many years of tireless service as a page and a squire, the time had come for Mival's dreams to be fulfilled. He was to become a knight.

The oath taking ceremony was to be held in a secret chamber beneath a small chapel near the very same keep that the party had recently explored. The alter in the chapel slid to one side and a narrow stair led to a small cave. Inside the cave unsettling thing grew and Mival was branded by the slimes and molds in the cavern.

Lord Galinfax told Mival that his first duty was to be a great honor and a very important duty indead. He was to ride north to the stone lands and meet with a comrad of his from Nethril reborn and deliver a message. "Soon" Lord Galinfax said, "we will step out of the shadows of Cormyr's current tyrant. Azamander and Lord Galinfax had recognized the nearly boundless ambition in Mivals heart but they failed to see his good heart and he was troubled by these words. As he began to ride out, his course changed and he took teh road to Arabel and turned himself in to the Purple Dragons.

The party chases the elf and the escapees through the forest. After a lengthy chase they discover the elf's camp and are attacked by bugbears and (mostly) avoid the pit traps. The elf has a showdown with Aroden, but escapes into the woods.

After unsuccessfully picking the trail back up the party returns to Quercus Grove. They report to the innkeeper Grubbo that they have dealt with the goblin attacks and Grubbo is very happy! Aroden appeals to Grubbo's good nature and gets Bob the Cooper help in getting started in town. Bob is eternally grateful for the parties help and promises to return the favor someday.

Aroden decides to investigate the war wizard who run the town to see if they can trust him with the full story of the happenings at the keep, unfortunately he runs afoul of deputy Pavel before he gathers much info. Pavel puts soem pressure on him and tells the group that they need to get thier adventuring charter squared away and meet with Fodal Marsk, the very wizard Aroden was investigating.

At first Aroden and the party keep the details of thier discoveries a secret, but after a spiritual encounter with the druidess Kara Isi, Aroden reveals teh identity of who they had slain in the keep. This was chilling news to Fodel and he sent them to see an old man by the name of Mivel Mristar...

Our intrepid band of adventures spent a restless night in the keep with their two prisoners and the liberated slaves. Early the next morning they set out on the road back to town.

The trail winds through a copse of trees. Ahead they can hear the sounds of some sort of angry beast roaring and tearing through the underbrush. Something leaps out of the brush. Its an elf. He examines the party and then hops back into the woods as a massive beasts stumbles out into the trail. It's an owlbear! Our brave band of adventures engage the beast, with Aroden, Kaelthas and Blade leading the charge. While that combat ensues, the elf attacks the wizard Cayleena and frees the prisoners. They make their way into the forest while the party is otherwise occupied with the owlbear.

The following is a transcript of a letter found in the desk of Ozmet Potts. The identity of the person meant to receive this letter is unknown...

Greetings Master,

Your humble servant,
Ozmet Potts

The rescued goblin revealed that Cinereal is a dragon the color of soot.

Our group of adventurers delved into the ruined fortress...

After carefully scouting the area, the player decide to investigate the barn. They discover a human and a goblin chained together in the barn. The human is Demtry, a cooper from the town of Highmoon in the dales. He was traveling to the monestary to provide his services to the monks and earn a little coin. He was kept by the goblins,who used his skills to make smuggling slaves easier via barrels. The goblin is Jimin'gerin. He was the cook for the tribe and was chained here for feeding the prisoner. Jimin'gerin happily reveals much about the situation, including the human slavers who direct the goblin's activities and that the chief of their tribe is... a dragon!

Aroden the Avenger showed great bravery entering the castle while the rest of the troup argued amongst themselves. Did I hear the cry "Aroden Jenkins" as he lept into the fray? I cannot say for certain. Tauch kept the troop alive with his buffs and healing and prayers to Amaunator and Kaelthas' arcane swordcraft was put to the test. From the shadows lept Blade's crimson daggers, felling many and Cayleena's magic blasted numerous goblins to dust and ashes. They were a force to be reckoned with!

As our heroes crept up the stairs they were nearly out of abilities, yet they confronted the slavers in then keep and were victorious! They captured two of the slave master's lieutenants and dispatched the foul krenshars the slave master kept as pets.

While searching the slave masters quarters they discovered a map and a note. The map was an ancient parchment and crumbled to dust when examined, but the note revealed that this was no simple slave ring and revealed the name of the slain slave master, Ozmet Potts.

Who is Ozmet Potts? How does the dragon Cinereal fit into all this? Who else is invovled in this plot? We will have to wait until next time to find out more...

Our intrepid adventurers gathered at the Boar's Head tavern in the sleepy village of Quercus Grove. The village of Quercus Grove lies on the northern end of a valley just north of the Hullack Forest and roughly south of the Twin Peaks of the Urlspur along the East Way road. Quercus Grove hosts a wine festival every year, when the Monks from a nearby vineyard bring their wines to market. Merchants come from near and far to purchase wine and join in the revelry.

Grubbo the inn keeper in concerned about this years festival. He hires our group of adventurers to investigate rumors of Goblin attacks in the Thunder Gap.

Sure enough, our adventurers are ambushed as they travel along the East Way. They quickly dispatch the Goblins and find more are camped nearby. The goblins trail would seem to lead to a dilapidated keep. The keep has several outbuildings including a small chapel with a graveyard and mausoleum as well as an open stable and large barn. Part of the keep appears collapsed.

The graveyard is haunted by the restless dead! Zombies attack as the adventurers approach. The Mausoleum houses several wights, the once noble inhabitants of the keep.

Well that was the first week of our new campaign. Hopefully our group will have the name for their adventuring company when we play again next week! With some luck maybe they will tell you about their characters!

The problem is that it won't be for the social good. It will benefit the special interests. It will preserve and calcify the ridiculous compensation that doctors and healthcare administrators receive and then limit the amount of healthcare that an individual can receive. No thank you!!!

In St Louis, Missouri a group of socialized healthcare goons allegedly from the Service Employees International Union beat an African American man who was protesting at a rally. They used racial slurs and continued to beat him while he was on the ground. I don't want people like that making the decision about when and if I get to see a doctor.

Here is another thought about British style socialized healthcare. I had glaucoma. Because of the nature of my glaucoma, some of the treatments like eye drops did not work for me. I had surgery on that eye and I can see today because of it. In the UK, I would need to go blind in one eye before I would be eligible for surgery because the surgery is too expensive for their generous healthcare system. How does that sound people? No thank you!!!

Grist for the mill. I intentionally designed my Classless Hybrid Pathfinder rules so that just about anything is easy to convert to them and use, and so that everything is optional. To me, there's now no difference between 3.0, 3.5, Pathfinder Beta, Final Pathfinder, Arcana Evolved, Iron Heroes, or even Shadowrun 4.0 for that matter.

With a name like Kirth Gersen, I'm sure you are using Vanceian spell casting. Teehe!

I think having three 4E articles is just barely enough to support the 4E readers of the magazine, since nine articles in the issue are 3E focussed (and two are system-independent).

I'm curious. I didn't think the license for 4e let items for both editions exist?

By the way, the free dice thing sounds (in my best Tony the Tiger voice) GGGRRREAT! Ordering now!

Hmmm. Nothing from ENworld. I'm not surprised.

For the extra points, The Dead Milkmen.

Wasn't there an episode where Spock had the ol' pan farr with a wookie and a pair of hobbits. I'm pretty sure Gandalf filmed the whole thing.

Now take it easy everyone, I'm just trying to lighten the mood a bit.

I think they should include a gay character. Star Trek always was about envisioning a better humanity in a better future despite what reality seemed indicate. I'm pretty sure Star Fleet moved past don't ask don't tell by the 23rd century.
