For a structured discussion, we need - at least - as many as in Alpha Playtest.
Thanks!
However, if they opened them all at once, there would be a flood of information covering everything making it very hard for them to collect the information they want.
I think they will open the subforums, just one at a time.

True... but then that means all of the discussions about Feats, skills, magic etc will just go to general... making it far harder to find on topic threads.
For example I will make a discussion about the total nerfdom of Power Attack later tonight in the general thread as there is no other appropriate place for it.

They will eventually open forums on such topics, but they are currently covering ability scores and races.
The way the beta playtest is working, they're doing one thing at a time.

You, like me, probably have a lot of things to say about things throughout the book.
I want to say it, but I want to be heard more. I'm here at Gen Con, and Jason has confirmed it - he can't read 900 threads at the same time about different topics.
Since the Beta WILL change (according to the Paizo staff more than the change from Alpha 3 to Beta) they want to get the feedback when it will do some good. So save your talk about CMB and Fighters - you'll get a chance to talk about it. You'll also soon have a schedule for when they expect to ask your opinion.
So hard to wait... Well, I'll make a long list then.
What I'm not sure about is that some problems/ideas cross chapters. Maybe I'll have to save them to the end.

Hey there all,
I would love to open up all the forums at once, but to do it, I need about 18 scrolls of clone. After the chaos of the Alpha stage, this is really the only way to have a mildly structured discussion. Save your comments... there will be a time.

Jason,
Just because other forums are open for posting, that doesn't mean you have to look at them.
Wouldn't it be nice to have some comments on Classes (say) ready to read once you have the time to address that area of the rules, rather than waiting for them to trickle in once you (eventually) open the forum? :)

Nice try... :-)
But if I open those forums, by the time I get to them, there will be thousands of posts in them and I will be swamped. This single forum is a managable load and I would prefer that the conversation was not happening in total absence of design input. It is easy for things to get seriously derailed that way or head in a direction that is not productive.
