Just guessing, but I bet the wait right now is based solely on getting the book into the warehouse so they can ship it. The boat's probably in the harbor.Do you think the flumphs would have warned us if anything... bad... happened to the boat?
Dragon had a great article on them before WotC pulled the license so you could go off that it you really wanted to. Modrons are one of those monsters I find so goofy their worth having around for comic relief if nothing else. But I felt the same about flumpfs.That said, I hope one of the things they didn't play with too much with the loveable losers was their alignment. Having something in the dungeon that might help the PCs and is not simply a floating cash box is a good thing.

Paizo have said elsewhere that they aren't changing the monster's stats other than to update them to Pathfinder.

Wouldn't they only warn us if Cthulu or one of his cohorts was involved?

I can say with great authority and no hesitation that their alignment remains the same. And also, they are no longer losers.

I wonder if the aboleths count as part of that cohort... and if so, I'll bet the flumphs were really kicking themselves when the Starstone fell.

Okay, fine, I'll bet they're really indulging in some serious self-flagellation.

Aren't they always?
All I can imagine holding this shipment up is if customs agents opened up a cargo container and it was full of a hundred or so of Flumphs.
Flumphs who were told that we humans speak in LOL cat.
And the creature that told them this also ordered a dozen or so Pizzas to be delivered to the customs agents.
Lords of Madness eluded to the idea that aboleths were connected somehow.

The truly sad thing is....no one paid attention. No one took them seriously.
The flumphs of that age weep for the humanity they could have preserved during those dark times.
I'd seriously like to know when this is actually being released. It is now October 25th 2010. in 4 days I board a train for Connecticut from where I live in Pennsylvania. This book will obviously not be in my bag to read for the 3 hour train ride. I'm actually disappointed.

I see hordes of them being destroyed trying to minimize the damage the stone would inflict on the planet and the few ones remaining in the world being the fluke survivors of the crash.

We're still hoping that we'll have all of our October shipment items within the next couple of days, and we are prepared to turn them around quickly.

I love my iPad for this very reason.
Yes it's nice having the physical product but it sure is nice to read it the day you get a "shipped" notice.
Ok sorry if that sounded like a push for the iPad. Not meant to be. An tablet Luke device would do the trick with the PDFs.
Having all my Role Master books, Space Master books, 18XX rule books, and all the Pazio lines in one handy 1/2 inch thick "book" is sweet. Now it seems I just forget my initiative "combat pad".
Hmmm just need an app for that and I'd be good. (I know they have some but have not seen any I like. "

It still means that instead of being able to read it on the train it will probably be waiting for me at home when I come back November 1st. I do believe in the existence of magic but I am not so willing that even if it left the warehouse today on October 26th that it will arrive before I leave for Fur Fright the morning of October 28th. There in Cromwell, CT I would have used the revised flumphs at the very least in my adventure for which I re-purposed the maps I photocopied from Serpent's Skull #1 for my own adventure of shipwrecked pirates utilizing the Pathfinder rules set.
Regardless of anything else, I seriously doubt this will reach me in time for my trip to Connecticut. It's a shame really. I kind of did want to use flumphs in the adventure I'm still planning on running at the con.
The wait is getting unbearable..but at least my credit card is thanking me..
I kinda wanted this for Halloween, but I guess I can wait for another week...

Seeing as the Fiend Folio was my favorite monster book (until the Monsternomicon came out) I'm a little insulted. I seriously loved and used flumphs, dire corbies, and adherers. I even remember writing a short story using dire corbies.
But i'll definitely give you the wolf-n-sheeps-clothing and I never used the disenchanter because I just couldn't imagine a character losing a magic item (at that age magic items were what made the game exciting - every character needed a page long list of them).

I remember one high-level adventure my group had, in which we were set upon by a PACK of disenchanters! =:-o
One of the characters broke out her rod of cancellation and swung it against the snout of one of the disenchanters!
From what little I remember, there was a tremendous explosion, and lots of little chunks of meat . . .

My apologies for not getting back to you this in time, but the convention was Fur Fright (I beg the board's indulgence for this) www.furfight.org it is a Halloween themed furry con I am now committed to attending every year if I can help it. And if I know I will get players for it, I will run a Pathfinder adventure there.

I know the feeling, but now it looks like one or two packages will be coming my way soon. If the folks at Paizo are smart, it will dawn on somebody that this and Serpent's Skull Adventure #3 are going to the same house so maybe, just maybe it might behoove them to put the two together and save on shipping?

If multiple shipments are departing for the same address at the same time, we do generally autocombine them—assuming it is actually cheaper to do that. (Sometimes it isn't.)

Best way to save on shipping is to add your purchases to your sidecart so that they'll ship out with your next active subscription - see here. :)

Just got the email saying that: IT HAS BEEN SHIPPED!! Thank you. I have not gotten the notice that City of Seven Spears is also shipping. I hope this is an oversight.
Oh and one more thing, if anybody at DriveThruRPG is looking over these boards, as an attendee at FurFright, I thank you to the discount code. In the same vein I would like to thank all those companies with products at DriveThruRPG that made their Pathfinder products eligible for the discount code I want to thank you as well. Mr. Wolfgang Baur if he graces this discussion may be happy to know that I purchased the three advanced feats he has for sale on DriveTruRPG relating to the new character classes in the APG using this code and I thank you as well.

In this case, your AP and Misfit monsters ended up getting shipped separately. If you want to combine shipping for future subscription orders, just go to your My Subscription page and choose the option to "hold for adventure path" or "hold for monthly shipment".

Ah... Sorry about that, FenrysStar.... I failed to realize one of the books you were talking about was a sub and the other was a regular order. If they'd both been regular orders, or both been subscription orders, we'd have combined them automatically... but in this case, the regular order shipped before the subscription order actually *existed* as a shippable object in our system, so they couldn't be combined.
Sara Marie's suggestion of setting combined shipping options on the subs is the best answer if you're looking to combine multiple things all generated by subscription, and Lilith's suggestion of using your sidecart is the best answer if you're looking to combine non-subscription orders with your subscription shipment—that would guarantee elimination of the timing issue that prevented these two items from being merged in your case.
Yes, come a little closer to the PDF, my children. And when the book arrives in the mail, do not be suspicious. Open it immediately. It's just a book. Yessssssssssss
Ah well, I am tempted to switch subscriptions from the player's companion to these GM books as the Player companions are too Golarion specific.

The Campaign Setting line has a Golarion focus as well... though the "Monsters Revisited" series (of which this book is a part) are more Golarion-light than most of the others.
Is it wrong that this book makes me a bit anxious? I kind of like the goofiness of some of these monsters and I don't want them to lose it. I don't actually want a fantasy world to have too much seriousness.
The idea of a snail that beats you to death with its spiked-weight eyestalks is hilariously awesome to me. The Lava Children are creepy and funny at the same time, like giant living doll golems.
For every Red Bull I crave a talking butterfly in aviator glasses.

On the other hand...
The Delvers, Tojanida, and Disenchanters have always struck me as a bit dull. And the lurking rays are... well... haven't we done a bunch of these already? Darkmantles, Cloakers, how different are the various rays than these?
On a different note... this one a note of frustration about a wonderfully grim no one ever bothered to elaborate upon... evil-clawed-screaming-death-bird-men. I would think this stuff writes itself. They're like hominid axebeaks or psychotic, degenerate, morlock tengu. That's an example where I feel like the coolness of the concept was somehow ignored all these many years.
I look forward to the book hopefully doing a good job of the lackluster execution/concept victims. Please excuse me while I go to read it.
And now that I've read the entries on Tojanida, and Disenchanters, I admit my anxieties were unwarranted. ^-^
ARGH! Mine still shows 'pending' !! Me WANT pdf!
Alright then I think the answer is no there isn't anything you guys can't redo and make cooler.
Hmmm. Maybe it was tagged as spam since I didnt see anything... checking...
Was in trash for some reason. Ok, we should be all set. Thanks Vic!
