*Sigh*, mine is still "Pending"
I really hate that word.
*Sigh*, mine is still "Pending"
So's mine. I understand the limits of waiting for shipment, but I honestly wouldn't mind paying the subscription bill and getting the PDFs right off while they take their time to assemble the physical copies to be shipped from the warehouse.
I understand why that isn't a great idea where customer's money is concerned (shipments held up by customs and so forth lead to unhappy people waiting for their physical book which they've paid for...) but with international shipping it's not practical for me to ask for the Bestiary to be shipped separately like some people have. And I'd really like to get my claws on at least the PDF.
The bit which bothers me most is that according to the pending orders list it was estimated my order would be split into 3 boxes to minimize my shipping costs. When it's going to be split anyway, maybe it would be possible to consider shipping what's available and sending the late arrivals in the warehouse in the last box when they finally trickle in. That's probably one of those ideas that's easy to suggest and a total pain to actually implement though.
My copy is pending as well. That's ok though as I need to save on shipping anyway. As far as I can tell... my order is currently pending/ awaiting the Map Packs subscription: Extradimentional Spaces.
Yeah, but my Bestiary is supposed to ship by itself, and it's still Pending. :-(
And I want my PDF now!

As usual for subscription shipments like this one for the Bestiary, there are literally thousands and thousands of packages to ship out and they only get out the door one at a time, so somebody has to be first and somebody has to be last. We try to do it as quickly as is feasible, but we are down one warehouse hand this week due to sickness, so it is bad timing in terms of us getting everything out the door really quickly. But, as anybody who has been here for a while knows, Vic, Jeff and myself will be putting long hours in the warehouse to get everything out the door as quickly as possible. Hang in there!

Thanks for working these long, hard hours Lisa (and company). Know that we appreciate what you are doing. Now, ~activates the shock collar~ get back to work, SLACKER!!! ;-P
~grins~
~reads a note hand delivered to me~ Uh oh!
Dear Sharoth,
Your Bestiary, when shipped, will be sent by snail mail to Alaska, then over the Bering Straits and through Russia. After going there, it shall be dropped into a time warp set for the year 3847 AD. Enjoy your Bestiary, when you get it.
Lisa
At least I will have my PDF... ~my screen goes blank as the PDF of the Bestiary devours my hard drive, then the nanobots slowly destroy my computer~ Remind me to never upset Lisa again.

Of course, you faint away in happiness, now that you got a personal hand note from Lisa. :)
mine is in the happy land of pending....
I hope soon it shall be in claws.
Mine isn't even there! Argh.
If it were at least in "shipping", I'd get the PDFs and could look it over.
But I have set it to monthly shipment, so it may be because something's still missing.
If it weren't for the internet and these wonderful forums, we'd never know that our orders are pending or that some have received their pdfs while others have not. I guess having transparent communication and an active online community can be a double-edged sword.
I've had enough of your reasonable and fair minded attitude!
:D
Though, just for the sake of truth in disclosure, do you have your PDF yet Mark?
And any comment I've made, in this or any other thread, has not been intended to be serious. I abide.

Of course. I can always order another Bestiary.

Me too! Time to burn him at the stake!
I swear, he's the first to respond to any of her posts. Like a stalker or something. :P
Nah. I am just lucky. I am not stalking Lisa. Honest!

If it helps any.... when you actually see this Bestiary, you might need to sit down.... or weep at its beauty. The joy of receiving it will definately relieve any pain associated with the anticipation. Reading it will wash away all sorrow, as though it were never there to begin with. The book is that good. Probably magical.

Tell me it as kobold in it! please tell me!
I'm starting a brand new PF campaign and the first few adventures will involve kobolds.... please tell me!

I don't think there is any chance at all that kobolds are not in this book.

Yep,
But you won't be happy, my Kobold lover in my game was unhappy. Not much changed between 3.5 and 3.P. Pretty much the same.

Guess you just need to dust off the Races of the Dragon book and put together a PF Kobold from that. You could also use the online WotC material for that as well from the 3.5 Web Enhancement Archives

I'm willing to bet it's the Seeker of Secrets book. That won't release for like two weeks. I had Cosmo split it from my order, to get my Bestiary PDF sooner.
Seeker of Secrets should be here next week, so maybe not the two weeks previously quoted. Now, it may be the end of next week and thus closer to two weeks, but now that this week is almost at its end, it probably won't be two weeks from today.

Oh, there are kobolds. Yes, there are. They infested the pages for a while and it was only through some careful extermination that we were able to get them back to their own page.

I know this logically, but it doesn't help being patient. ;-)
It shipped!

Who's stalking who? Perhaps I am using my special ability to see into the future and I am posting JUST BEFORE Sharoth to make him look like a stalker. It is the perfect set up! :)
-Lisa
Oh I know. I peeked at your stat block. ;) I just like teasing Sharoth, since I've actually hung out with him. *raises hands* I know, I know, but there just wasn't anyone else.
YOu have a Kobold lover? Is it legal for you to marry? :P
Yep,
But you won't be happy, my Kobold lover in my game was unhappy. Not much changed between 3.5 and 3.P. Pretty much the same.
Shhhh! You're going to get me in trouble with my wife. ;)
I've got my digital copy in my scaly claws. Now back to my lair to look at it from every angle with my fellow koboldic minions and determine how us kobolds can best rule the world. Or at least New Jersey.

As a poor pleb who is waiting for his order from his FLGS, I have a question about kobolds and the new bestiary:
How does the PFRPG kobold work with the "Classic Monsters Revisited" and "Crown of the Kobold King" bloodlines?

I for one welcome our new Kobold overlords.
...
What? Jersey could benefit from Kobold rule, I think.
Don't be hatin' on Jersey!
Don't be hatin' on Jersey!
The truth ain't hate.
Give Newark and the tollway to the kobolds, but leave its many bucolic scenes to the fey and other good creatures.

This Grouchy Old Fart got his email today at 12:03 pm. I have been printing stat pages for this weekends Second Darkness game. We're in The Armageddon Echo, just starting to take back Celwynvian. Boy, are my players in for a surprise.

I absolutely love the print friendly 1 page per monster format... the PDF is a near must have for GMs.
Well if you are stalking me, you'll get this message eventually. I might be switching my Shackled City game to on online tabletop due to lack of reliable players in Austin. Just so you know.~stalks TriOmegaZero in that nice, loving way that he so enjoys~

~sneak stalks TriOmegaZero~ Got YOU!!! ~GRINS~
~chuckles~ I might be up for it, depending upon how many on call weekends I get. ~sighs~ Dratted debt and house repair issues. I want my BLOODY weekends free, not working my ass off! ~wry smile~

I will be out of town this weekend, but I will send you an e-mail Tuesday to find out more.
~thinks~ Hmmmmnnnnnnnn..... I wonder if Lisa is around. I could stalk her too. ~grimaces~ Never mind! Vic might get a tad upset that I am stalking her. ~runs and hides in fear~
I won't know for certain myself until I'm home in December. </threadjack>
Still looking forward to the Bestiary. Didn't even think about how easy printing will be with the 1-2 page format. Will be helpful for adjusting Shackled City creatures.
Well, like I said, I will send you an e-mail next week.
I too am looking foreward to the Bestiary.
