Here's a snippet of a conversation I had with Cosmo in Lilith's DMTools Chat Room today (apologies for the somewhat ugly formatting). My query involved the result of the delay in Pathfinder #2 coming out and how it would affect people who have GameMastery bundled to ship with Pathfinders.
Oh, and spoilered for hugeness:
‹Fatespinner› Are we going to get double billed in October for Pathfinders #2 & 3 or are they just going to be coming out a month late from here on?
‹Cosmo› Well...
‹Cosmo› As I understand it, we are going to continue monthly after that
‹Fatespinner› So we'll get 2 & 3 in October and then 4 in November?
‹Cosmo› but a few months from now
‹Cosmo› there will be a double month
‹Cosmo› so... 2 in Oct, 3 in Nov, 4 in Dec...
‹Fatespinner› Ah, okay, so we're only getting #2 in Oct?
‹Fatespinner› Gotcha.
‹Cosmo› the double month will most likely be Dec-Feb
‹Cosmo› ***IF I HAVE MY WAY*** there will be plenty of forwarnign for subscribers when th double month occurs
‹Fatespinner› Now, the really tricky question... will the double month send us two separate packages for each issue or will you bundle them together (with that month's GameMastery in my case) to save shipping?
‹Cosmo› Unknown.
‹Fatespinner› I figured as much at this point. Thought I'd ask.
‹Cosmo› Most likely... it'll be one in the first week of the month and another in the last week of the month
‹Cosmo› But I *really* can't predict that with much assurety
‹Fatespinner› Speaking of the bundled GameMastery mods... will Gallery of Evil and... whatever the October one is going to be... be bundled together with Pathfinder #2 or will my GM mods be a month behind now as well?
‹Fatespinner› Since I've got the 'delay my GameMastery to ship with PF' option.
‹Daigle› I don't even have to ask questions with Fatey around....he's got all the bases covered.
‹Cosmo› That is a really good question!
‹Fatespinner› Customer Service is what I do. I know how to work the system.
‹Cosmo› This is my way of saying that I don't really know
‹Fatespinner› Tee hee.
‹Fatespinner› I think I'll copy/paste this part of the convo to the boards so that it can hang out there until you get an answer. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to know.

And answered in record time:
‹Cosmo› hehe
‹Cosmo› i'll let Corey provide the answer
‹The Czarina› So, the answer to the great module question
‹The Czarina› According to Mr. Bulmahn, U1 will ship with Pathfinder 2, J1 with Pathfinder 3, as planned
‹Daigle› Thanks Czarina
‹Fatespinner› Awesome, I just posted the question. I'll throw the answer up there now...
‹The Czarina› No problem!

I stand corrected. I keep thinking it's Buhlman for some reason.

We just call him Jason Minotaur to keep things real. Minotaur. Bull-MAN. Get it?!

:(
This is going to hurt my chances of winning the Open Call, isn't it?

For the record, pushing the double month back to March or even April would be best, IMO, because people will be getting their tax returns back around that time and money won't be as tight for some folks.
Of course, some people will owe money on their taxes, but it's been my observation that people who end up owing money when they file at the end of the year are usually in the upper levels of income (not always) and shouldn't have to sweat as much about a double-dose of Pathfinder billing.
