It's a pre-authorization - it doesn't actually bill your account, it just pops up to let you know that this and that amount of $ is going to vanish next week when Paizo ships the stuff.
If your card is linked to a bank account, banks will often put on a hold on your account. The hold usually goes away after a few days, but it is a little annoying if you aren't prepared for it. I have mine linked to an actual credit card, they handle it a little nicer.
Expect to get access to your PDF sometime next week. The shipping schedule is a little odd this time because of Gen Con.

Yar... my bank has had a 'hold' on the money for three days now.
So we'll finally get the straight dope on the Golarion fey in this book? 'Bout time, given all the horrid and stomach-churning hints we've been getting ever since 'Bloodsworn Vale' and 'Carnival of Fear'. Yay for Paizo, for finally giving RPG fantasy fey the brutally evil nature they so long deserved!Calling all fey "Brutally evil" is like calling all humans "warmongering savages." There are certainly SOME fey that are evil, but not all of them. Not even all of the First World fey are evil; there's some that are good, and most of them are neutral.
Well, it's a nice shift from the Disney-esque fey that always seem to show up in popular entertainment.

A quick note about art:
We DO provide our artists with references to base their work on, but at the same time... they're artists. They sometimes do their own things. If they go TOO far off what we order for art, we have to choose to either tell them to fix it or we decide to go with what they did because it turned out cool anyway.

Ah, but Charisma and appearance are two different things in D&D. Gorgeous people can still be shallow bores, and even the homeliest folks can be beloved leaders.True! In human terms she would have a Charisma of 3 or less.
The very definition of charismatic :)
The homliest folk can become the leader everyone need too. :)| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
To slightly misquote Sir Terry Pratchett...
Fey are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Fey are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Fey are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Fey are glamorous. They project glamour.
Fey are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Fey are terrific. They beget terror.
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
No one ever said Fey are nice.
Got my ship notice! Looking at the PDF now :)

Wow, looks like a very nice adventure.
And the artwork on page 31 is beautiful.
I wonder who wrote this fine offering ?
Oh, Richard Pett.
Wait.
Pett ?
Pett.
Pett.
Pett.
*Today in the morning, the police in Poznan found a dead body in the house of a 29-years old PhD candidate. A source told us that the young man had his face frozen in an unspoken horror, and the walls of his room were covered in thousands of carvings of a mysterious word: PETT."
Supposedly it shipped on Thursday July 29th, got billed a week prior to that. Today on day 10 I'm still waiting. Couldn't use it on my gaming Friday so I had to substitute Castle Ravenloft, and promise my rabid gamers that if the evil nymph uses the "see her naked save or die" trick from the old school write up I'll bring a dozen chocolate donuts next time we play.
Since I don't do the PDF thing has anyone else gotten their hardcopy of this delivered yet?
I emailed customer service but as this is the weekend i figured I might get a faster response from here.

Hey Paizo, it would be realy nice if you would setup a free PDF download of the new Mass Combat Rules found in the Kingmaker part 5. That way, my players can have a copy on hand too, who will need to know how they work as well as the GM.
Anybody else feel the same way?
Jim
You could just print or copy/paste the necessary parts though.
That's what I did with the Kingdom building rules.
(I guess this post should go in the War of the River Kings thread though.)

Did anyone else get some amusement from the picture of Queen Amiri on page 56, keeping her harem boy shackled to the throne?
I just saw what the Zomok was, and that's a really awesome monster.
