Of course since my Lambs play in the same division as the Chickenhawks I have to hate them and the city. :)Okay, wait. You can't be a Rams fan and make fun of my Hawks. It's just not possible. When a team is as bad as the Rams and you make fun of a team better than the Rams, I think time-space folds and we all die. Do you want that on your conscience?
Sure I can for three reasons.
1) In 2004 when the Seahawks had their first division title in the NFC they lost to the Rams 3 times that year including the playoff game. To be fair they have never lost to the Rams since.
2) At least when the Rams got to the big game they didn't choke and won the superbowl. Ok granted they lost the next one but they went twice too in a three year span.
3) and finally... well the Rams couldn't play any worse if the time-space folds and we all die. Now could they? I mean at least then they would be tieing everyone every year, or come back as zombies or something cool.

I've got limited sympathy folks. I live in Colorado Springs (beautiful country), so I'm a Broncos fan, but I'm a Houston Texans fan too. Who do we have to kill to get a winning season in Houston?!
OT I really can't articulate how happy I am to see Paizo's hard work and commitment to the game and gamers pay off. It's great to see the good guys get a victory!

Seattle is mighty fine.Stay away from Seattle, I'll cut ya! There are too many people here already!
** spoiler omitted **
Hey, I have it on good authority from long term residents I would be marginally welcomed by the city so long as I wasn't from California. It would be a trial basis of course, with both parties able to terminate the agreement at any time.
And what if I come for school? What you going to say about that? Going to deny me an education at one of Seattle's fine institutions? That would be heartless.
At the very least I can guarantee I am a better driver than some of the people who live in that city. Love the place, but what the heck is up with the drivers?
Oh, before I forget....
Bring it Frost! I grew up in the hoods of Thornville, OH. I can take you! <whips out a John Deere green pitchfork> :)
IT IS SHIPPING!!! ~Starts to hypervetalate and then falls over~ Ohhhhhhhh..... My head is spinning! ~groans~STFU Luser. I wish mine would ship soon.
Nah! Nah! Nah! Nah!

I am in the STL area myself. Love my Rams even though they have sucked for some years now. Hopefully, we turn things around this year. I couldn't imagine being a Seahawk fan, though. They always suck =)

Umm, when was the last time the Hawks won a Super Bowl? Oh yeah. Never.
Wow. That's fantastic news...but I wonder what that will mean for those of us who pre-ordered them through other venues. Has a second run already been determined?It is fantastic news. I hope their sales go through the roof. If they need additional paper for more print runs, I'm certain there are many unsold 4E books that can be shredded and turned into pulp for recycling.
:(
You do know that WOTC has sold hundreds of thousands fo their 3 core rule books, right? So despite how much I love PAizo over WOTC I think we need to "keep our eye on the ball" and realize that WOTC and 4E are still far more popular at this point in time.
Congrats, Paizo, I salute you. As Darrin Drader already said, it is good to see a company that gives a damn about customers and the game. Numbers are nice, but if you have numbers AND an ear to the fans, that is great!

To me, comparing sales of Dungeons and Dragons and the Pathfinder RPG are apples and oranges. Or Internet Explorer and Opera. They're not in the same league at all. Only White Wolf -- barely -- comes possibly close in terms sales against the world's most popular role-playing game.
The closest companies I can think similar to Paizo may be Mongoose and Steve Jackson Games.
Right now I'm looking at the long run. When Magic the Gathering was released, did anyone seeing these weird new cards show up in their stores think for a moment that the company would one day buy up mighty TSR? I see this as a sign of growth and a sign of promise. I think that Paizo has the potential to eventually rival WotC and White Wolf. They're doing the right things. They aren't there yet, but if everything being said can be taken at face value, and if the numbers in my head are close to reality (and no, I'm not sharing them), then this is significant because it means that Paizo is one step closer to being mainstream, being huge, conquering the world, or some other silly benchmark that means that the industry now revolves around them.
I am now regretting i was not more stern with my FLGS and force the issue on ordering two additional and reserving them for me.

I thought if you altered an amazon order it reshuffled you to the bottom of the queue?
Ah yes, Chicago. Home of such illuminaries as Tony Rezko, Roland Burris and Rod Blagovich, I could name more but I'll be nice. Funny that the Chicago supporter can't promote his city, but has to tear down the others. :-)
Michigan? Gods everyone is fleeing the state, including any athletic talent. See, Michigan, University of, or Lions, Detroit. The drain on talent has even spread to Cleveland, like a plauge. We've had an outbreak of no talent in Cincinnati as well, but Columbus is safe.
IWM is based out of Cinci though, so if you want to look for new Mini-makers it's a trip down 71.
Columbus benefits from a strong heritage and diversity in its suburbs and bordering cities. You have Germantown, the Short North, Bexley, etc.
Plus Origins is held here :-)
One of the advantages of Columbus being a 'cow town' (something the Mayor hates, but I take pride in) is that getting away is easy. Also Ohio is full of underrated history. Dawes Arbouritum is about 45 mintues away, and has extensive trails as well as a very relaxing Japanese Garden; Perfect for an 'away meeting' to discuss the eastern rules supliment. Old Man's Cave has already been mentioned, but there are also small towns rich in history.
Somerset is a perfect example. Home of Phil Sheridan, it also boasts the first permanent Catholic Church in Ohio, as well as a haunted restaurant. Nearby is the famous 'Horseshoe grave' Also in Newark (again, about 45 minutes away) are the Newark Earthworks known locally as Moundbuilders park.
Yes yes, I know, I should work for the state's Travel and Tourism division. I am attached to my home state (no, not by restraining order) and all kidding aside, it is a nice place to live and work.
Perfect place for Paizo to invest some of its 'sold out' cash.
Yes! Spread the lies! We want no more residentssss here precious!Seattle is mighty fine.Except for the Chickenhawks of the Sea, err I mean SeaHawks that is. Well that and I hear it rains like 350 days a year. :)
Besides it's really hot there and no place has air conditioning =P

I'm a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan, and even I can make fun of the Seahawks! Not for any particular reason... just because!
Back on topic, congrats to all at Paizo. Your hard word has paid off... my local game store ordered 25, but will only receive 15 of those on the release date from their distributor and they are all presold!
Congrats to y'all! :)
Now I just hope my Amazon.de pre-order gets here on time and not in November. ;)

And this is why going the subscription route made sense, even with the HUGE shipping cost. That said, still no shipping e-mail. What are you guys doing over there? It was dawn HOURS ago! ;-)

Even if mine ships soon, it won't get here for 4-8 weeks, ofourse I am picking one up a GenCon ;-)IT IS SHIPPING!!! ~Starts to hypervetalate and then falls over~ Ohhhhhhhh..... My head is spinning! ~groans~STFU Luser. I wish mine would ship soon.
I'm just hoping that mine will get here before the 15th when my group gets together again. Of course, not having a shiny purple border around my avatar, I'm not holding my breath.

What's the purple border indicate? It can't just indicate a Roleplaying game subscription, because I have one of those but don't have a cool purple border!
At least, I'd better have a subscription! That's what I'm counting on!

Purple is for those who have sold their eternal soul to paizo. They are not even considered human anymore but are still humanoid.
Gray is for those who have simply sold their future children. At least their first born. Sort of like the movie King Arthur. "it would have been better they died that day...." ;)
purple means subscribed to everything.
gray means subscribed to everything pathfinder.
purple is paizo's heirophant and gray is paizo's blackguards.
Edit:Speaking of blackguards..... aren't they suppose to be a full class now?.......

Purple Border is subscription to every single Paizo line.
Will you also be doing a discrete change-log/ Errata FAQ?
That would be more useful for people lugging the dead-tree version, printing out one (possibly 2x sided) page of updates to slip in the book itself, rather than trying to dissect exactly which sentences out of 576-odd pages have changed between the hardcover and the updated PDF ...
There'll be something like this, yeah. it's not a BIG file; thankfully the errata seems to be pretty minor and easily digestible.
We didn't leave out all of the 7th level spells or forget to include magic rings, is what I'm saying. Whew!
As someone planning on buying the PFRPG, I expect errata. Just sayin'.

How could I forget Dawe's Arboretum? Being a partial native of that area, I really should have remembered. Of course, these is also Serpent Mound, which is really very cool.
Just got my shipping notice for next Tuesday...YEAH!!!!!!!!!

Customers who have not already placed a pre-order with paizo.com or their game or book retailer are encouraged to seek out a copy immediately following the book's retail release, as supplies are expected to run out well before the arrival of a second print run in early November.
This works out best for myself and my FLGS. We were planning a World of Warcrack Day in September, using the old S&S books and converting them to Pathfinder. We can now prep the event for December instead, with the Pathfinder books on the shelves for enthusiastic converts ;-)

Yeah RUGBY football, you watcher of 'drama queens who fall over trying to milk a penalty and cry all the time' type football. Almost as bad a American football where the big girls wear helmets and armour to tackle, how lame is that? :p
Not that I really want to talk about rugby with the way the All Blacks are playing at the moment.......
EDIT: BTW if you want to accidentally ship my pre-order I won't mind and won't tell!

Ann Arbor ;)Let me put this as simple as possible.
Ohio sucks. tOSU sucks. The Blue Jackets suck. I needn't say more.
How nice for you. You wear bitterness so well. Did Columbus kick your dog? Where do you live again?
There are things I don't like about the city. But, overall, there are plenty of worse places to live. Like Toledo or Cleveland. <shudder>
And my interest in OSU has much more to do with academics than football. They have an awesome folklore studies program. Blue Jackets are barely a blip on my radar. Once it became apparent the team would likely never amount to much, I wasn't interested.
What's this? The scar in my hand started tingling, as it does everytime someone, somewhere, starts talking trash about OSU. As a Michigan grad, I swore a blood oath against OSU (it was a graduation requirement), and I feel compelled to join in.
GO WOLVERINES!
P.S. Ohio isn't half as bad as Indiana. My god, the whole state is like a truck stop. And not one of those nice truck stops where friendly men want to assist you in the stalls. Oh no, it's one of those grimey truck stops where they sell glass tubes for smoking crack and condoms made of sand paper. Unless you are in desperate need of some cheap smokes or powerful firecrackers, I advise against entering into the state if it can be avoided.
The Seahawks didn't lose Super Bowl XL. The referees did.
Yeah, epic truth. I've tried to banish that game from my mind (and have been mostly successful) because the refereeing was so bogus.

Yeah yeah yeah, just like a Seahawk fan blame everyone else for their teams short comings. But what else could you expect from a Seahawk fan? :D2) At least when the Rams got to the big game they didn't choke and won the superbowl.The Seahawks didn't lose Super Bowl XL. The referees did.
I'm not a Seahawks fan—I just hate bad refs.

Wow! That's awesome! Glad I got my preorder in in the nick of time!
Me too, by the skin of my teeth! LOL
I will be honest, I was slow on teh uptake of Pathfinder, but I am glad I gave it reconsideration!
I will be "Pathfindering" new Ptolus campaign as soon as the book hits my hands!
*waits and watches quietly and patiently*
