Today's blog... Oh my...

Can't wait to find out who the dude is.

Yeah that's one cool wizard... A little longer in the tooth than the rest of the iconics as well.

Check it out! A non-lame wizard. Very, very nice!

What is that slight blue-white glow coming out of his clenched left hand I wonder...

I hope it's not asking too much, but I wonder if it's possible to get an image of this latest iconic against a white background, similar to what was done with the previous iconics. It's not that I'm not absolutley drooling over the current image--I most assuredly am--but rather that I cut & paste the images into a neutral background "group image" to use as images of the characters in my game....

If this is possible, a most hearty "thank you!"

Very cool. He's got a certain Sean Connery look to him. I'm digging him!

He looks like he'd make a great Ben Kenobi/mentor character. He's got a certain air of nobilty to him. And even though he may be older, you wouldn't want to mess with him. I like him already.

This is certainly possible. It'll probably happen later next week. I still haven't written up his backstory and all that, but it's on the schedule for quite soon.

Ask and ye shall receive! As always, James and Paizo staffers, this is what makes your company and this community so great! Thanks again!

In the dragon article, will the dragon's heads be brand new or will they look the same as they do in the MM?

See tonight's blog post for answer. I think that the dragon stats are OGL, but not the dragons pics, so Paizo had to do their own concept for them.

Correct. And we wanted to come up with our own looks for dragons, in any event; they're a pretty iconic monster, and it's cool, I think, to be able to look at a dragon and say, "OH! That's a Golarion Blue!"

I was looking at my subscription page, and it said to expect this in late Jan/early Feb.

Is that right?

Mine says the same thing. I had hoped that it would come early Jan. Paizo must still really be struggling to catch up with their production schedule.

We're expecting it to reach our warehouse around January 9.

Yay - I can't wait. I am enjoying the AP a lot. About that time I receive this installment my group will be starting Hook Mountain. Every installment has been great.

We're expecting it to reach our warehouse around January 9.

So we can expect to have our PDF's by the end of that week?

Probably somewhere between that week and the week following it. You're giving them 2-3 days to get them in stock, inspect and start the export procedure.

Are we still on for this week, I need my Paizo fix?

We are indeed still expecting the shipment to arrive this week.

I just noticed that the pre-order for the subscription has appeared in my account. Does that mean it will ship this week?

Probably later this week, or early next week.

James, I think you already have..or someone there has. Isn't Ezren, our RotR #5 cover boy, the subject of the October 26th blog entry?

I hope by the end of 2008 there's enough fabulous art for Paizo to put out a Pathfinder Calendar. I'm sure there's even enough 'B' art to put in a few surprises.

what's the estimated ship date? Has it arrived in the warehouse?

Which was 3 days after he made that post.

Argh! My bad...What I get for not reading the dates close enough. Kudos, guys!

Somewhere in these threads one of the Paizonians said they had received them on the 9th (yesterday).

Edit: Actually, correction. Expecting it on the 9th. Whether it arrived yesterday or not remains to be seen (or read).

My order status has changed from "pre-order" to "pending" so I presume they have it in stock and are preparing to ship it.

It has arrived, and subs have already started to go out.

but there's another listing for this product at

with no discussion attached and no way that I can see to start one.
Why the two listings?

The first listing is for the print edition. The second listing is for what we call a "parent product," which has two children: the print edition and the PDF. Right now, the PDF is still only available to subscribers, which is why you can't see the difference between the two. Once the product's street date arrives, the PDF will become available from the parent product listing.

If you look at the parent product for Pathfinder 4, you can see what I mean: http://paizo.com/pathfinder/v5748btpy80hm.

OK. Three questions:
Why is there no way to start a discussion of the parent product?
Why is there no link from the parent product to the print edition? The only way I've found to navigate from one listing to the other is to add the product to my cart and click the link there.
When is the "street date"? I stopped at my FLGS Thursday 1/31 and they said they were still waiting for #5.

Looks like we had a little data problem. It's fixed now—and while I was at it, I moved this discussion to the parent.

Why is there no link from the parent product to the print edition?

You shouldn't ever really need to know about children. I assume the only reason that you're interested is that you want to be able to find this thread... and the discussion should be on the parent, which it is now.

When is the "street date"? I stopped at my FLGS Thursday 1/31 and they said they were still waiting for #5.

The street date was this past Wednesday. We shipped to distribution almost two weeks ago, so they should check the status of their order with their distributor.

Will they ever print this again or will it only be a pdf?

We don't have any plans at this time to reprint Pathfinders #1, #3, or #5. We do have stock of the other three, but it is going fast. I expect #6 to sell out shortly.

Is the pdf not for sale anymore?

The listing above is for the PDF—the only version we have.

Ah, I didn't notice that on this page. I was looking at the availability of all the RotR chapters on this page and it was displayed differently than Chapt 3, which lists both the print and pdf versions, though the print version is out of print. I couldn't imagine why the pdfs would come off the market, but I was thinking about doing a pbp campaign and I wanted to make sure I'd still be able to get all the pdfs later.

Thanks for the prompt response!

Excellent point. I've fixed that.

We need to republish using Pathfinder rules :)
