So, I looked today at my subscription page and it shows:

Quote:


October 2009
1x Pathfinder Chronicles: Seekers of Secrets—A Guide to the Pathfinder Society (PFRPG)
1x Pathfinder Chronicles: Princes of Darkness—Book of the Damned Volume 1 (PFRPG)
1x Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Bestiary (OGL) Hardcover

November 2009
1x Pathfinder Chronicles: Cities of Golarion (PFRPG)
1x Pathfinder Chronicles: City Map Folio
1x Pathfinder Adventure Path #27: What Lies in Dust (Council of Thieves 3 of 6) (PFRPG)
1x Pathfinder Roleplaying Game GM Screen (OGL)
1x Pathfinder Companion: Dwarves of Golarion (PFRPG)

December 2009
1x Pathfinder Companion: Andoran, Spirit of Liberty (PFRPG)
1x Pathfinder Chronicles: Classic Horrors Revisited (PFRPG)
1x Pathfinder Chronicles: Guide to the River Kingdoms (PFRPG)
1x Pathfinder Adventure Path #28: The Infernal Syndrome (Council of Thieves 4 of 6) (PFRPG)
1x Pathfinder Adventure Path #29: Mother of Flies (Council of Thieves 5 of 6) (PFRPG)

It seems that the Screen and the PF 27 are delayed. While it does make the October package less costly, I'm curious as to what caused the slip ?

What's strange to me is that I thought Chronicles only came out every other month; but we have 3 months straight w/ 2 products each month. Not that I'm complaining...

No, it is the Companions that come out every other month. The Chronicles are not on a set schedule. They come out when they are ready.

Wait... if you have $100 to plant... why do you need a money tree?

I wouldn't put too much stock in the projections on your subscription page yet. We are having trouble getting good up-to-date info from our printers right now so we are taking wild guesses as to what products will be out when. Once we have better information, we will update the subscription pages, but right now, we are really making wild guesses. So don't get your panties in too tight of a wad over this, as it will likely change in the coming weeks as we get better info from the printer.

Hey Lisa, do you think that means things are more likely to be put back than brought forward?

If I'm sensing the Force correctly right now I can't see AP27 arriving outside the US in time for Xmas (delivery times being around 3 weeks). In fact I kind of get the feeling that the Bestiary won't be on anyone's desks before December 1st at this rate either.

It must be very frustrating for you to do all the work and then sit at the mercy of printers. And of course it's frustrating for us watching the product schedule as it shifts ever further away.

I actually think that it is more than likely to move forward than back. I would be shocked if the Bestiary isn't shipped out in mid-October for instance. I also think there is a good chance that a bunch of products will ship to subscribers the last week or so in October. But I don't know for sure. But my best guess would be that the subscription page is being pessimistic instead of optimistic. But no promises.

Paizo needs its own printer!!!
Let's collect...oh wait...


So quick question, since I have not been dealing with purchases from Paizo for very long. When you release the physical copy then the PDF goes up for sale, or will we at least get the PDF this october. (really looking forward to it, my PC's are getting crafty and I need more things to kill them with.)

If you are a subscriber, once the items are shipped to you, you can download the PDF version.

Paizo ships items to the distribution stream and the subscribers at the same time. So this normally means that you not only get the physical copy before the FLGSs do, but you also get the PDF version earlier than that.

I am unsure of the timings on when the PDF version go up for sale on the website.

Unless you subscribe (in which case as mentioned above you get the PDF the day we ship your physical copy), you can grab the PDF on the same day that the print copy is scheduled to be on store dates. Generally, this is a week or two after the subscription copies ship, I believe... I could be wrong though since most of how we actually get books out of my computer and into the form of a physical book is smoke and mirrors to me...

It's all done using replicators these days.

If that were true I would have drowned in "Earl Grey, hot" by now.

Correct. Once the product arrives in our warehouse, we begin fulfilling subscriptions (which gives subscribers access to the PDF) as well as sending out preorders and shipments to our distributors. At that time, we also set the retail release date, which is usually about two weeks after we start shipping (giving time for distributors to get their copies and in turn send them out to their retailers); the PDF becomes available for general sale on the retail release date.

Note that this all means we don't have accurate dates for anything until product arrives in our warehouse.

That bug was fixed in v1.002.
