The past several months have been hectic, with my wife and I gearing up for the arrival of our daughter. Somehow in the midst of her birth in mid-March and the several days I had off of work to be at home with her and mom, adjusting to our new (and wonderful) status quo, I managed to visit the Paizo website for the first time in a good, long while.
It was then that I discovered the announcement about the Pathfinder RPG. After downloading and reviewing it between diapering and feedings, I decided that this was the way I wanted to continue my gaming hobby.
I also decided to resubscribe to Pathfinder. This past summer, I'd converted my Dungeon and Dragon subscriptions and purchased #5 and #6 for the sake of completeness. I loved 'em--but along with regular CD and DVD purchases, 3/4ths of my comics pull, our digital cable and top-speed Internet service, and extra services on our cell phones, my ongoing subscription was trimmed from our budget to make way for baby. I missed that "Pathfinder Charter Subscriber" forums status... still do... silly, I know.
Happily, now a month into the parenthood adventure, I've found that we have just enough "fun money" for me to reactivate my subscriptions, and I also purchased the "Guide to Korvosa." It was the Pathfinder RPG announcement and accompanying Alpha document that really brought me back.
Others with various reasons for having ended and then renewed a Pathfinder subscription, post away! The fine Paizo crew that creates this and other products we love will be interested in our stories, I think.
Congrats! Twice!
Congrats on the family! I know what you mean...my daughter is going to be nine in a few weeks.
It didn't work for me, but maybe you can convice your wife that buying Pathfinder is a long term investment for teaching your daughter how to play the game in a few years! ;)
Welcome back!
