Thank You Paizo

[Cydeth]

Since I don't think that I've necessarily said it before, and I don't think it can be said enough...

Thank you.

Thank you for revitalizing the game that got me into roleplaying, and the game that I loved and was afraid I was going to have to abandon due to lack of support.

Thank you for being friendly, for answering questions online even when the fans are overzealous at times, and being involved in things. It is something that I haven't seen nearly as often or in depth before.

Thank you for producing products that awe me with their quality and the thought that goes into them.

Thank you for being willing to change and listening to us, regarding the various playtests and the huge amounts of feedback you receive.

Thank you for giving excellent customer service, and making it so that I've only had to deal with customer service once. ^_^

And last of all...Thank you for being a company that I feel I can give my loyalty to.

[Gorbacz]

It's a Paizo Apperciation Thread !

PILE ON !

[buzzby]

I am prepared to share the love.

This. I think it sums up so well how I felt.

When Paizo started putting out Pathfinder they kept my interest in a hobby I thought would move beyond me with the 4th edition.

I could ramble on about it, but let me just say:

Thanks, Paizo!

group hug!

+1 I was ready to just stop buying gaming products when 4th edition was announced, I was running in my own world and was pretty happy with the way things were going. And then I saw this mammoth tome at the Source. And now I own all of the Pathfinder products released, and we play exclusively in Golarion. So thank you as well and keep up the excellent work.

[Senator]

+1 Beautifully stated.

As a newcomer to the messageboards I have been overwhelmed with this community. As a purchaser of your products I have become enthused again to modernize my gaming mechanics.

When posting earlier I suddenly blurted out "Good Lord!" my wife of 28 years asked what was wrong. Flabbergasted I told her that LISA STEVENS THE CEO was on my thread!! And she was talking to me! And later on SEAN K REYNOLDS who co-wrote "Ghostwalk" (a favorite gift from my nephew) was on my other thread!

I have never, ever in all my years of gaming (35) seen anything like this. Thank you for being inspirational and accessible.

Paizo and Pathfinder, making magic "magical" again.

A new, loyal customer here.

Come to the chat room ad annoy the devs there.

[Michael Dean]

I collected Dragon Magazine for many years in the 1980's. Stopped for a while, then started when 3E came out. Then Wizards turned over publication to this Paizo company I'd never heard of. They did great. Liked it so much I collected Dungeon.

Then came the announcement that Wizards was taking publication of both mags away. And Paizo announced that they would be starting Adventure Paths for close to $20 a month. Twenty bucks! That's almost half the cover cost for a year of the old Dragon. But I took a chance; I figured, what the heck, they were offering to give me credit to finish out my Dragon and Dungeon subscriptions for three months. I figured, if I didn't like it I could just not renew.

The end result is that I spend easily half to three quarters of my gaming budget on Paizo. The staff has always been helpful and I love their writing. Paizo is always one of my first stops at Gen Con, and I have to stop myself from buying everything new the last couple of months so I get the joy of making some purchases at their booth. So, great job, Paizo, you're one of the best out there and here's my wishes for continued success.

[Jeremiziah]

Yeah, I'll pile on, as well - thanks a million. You guys and gals are fabulous!

We should be thanking all of you for allowing us to do what we do for a living! If nobody wanted to buy our products, we wouldn't be here. Because of you, I get to come to work next Monday and brainstorm ideas for our big GenCon release in 2011, the big book of...ummm, we haven't announced that yet...sorry. :)

In any case, thanks for all of you for allowing me and my staff to have the coolest jobs in the world! Woot!

I agree completely. Please continue to vitimize me with all of your great products. I am fortunate enough to be able to afford them, but as you know I am fortunate enough to spend my money elsewhere. I just love letting Paizo take more money from me than the government and other less savory organizations.

No other company I've ever bought any sort of product from was as interested in being a part of the community their product created.

BIG book you say? Hardcover? Colorful and full of juicy ideas? Never fear milady, my charge card as always is at your disposal.

Hmmmm. I have never been to GenCon. Perhaps next year. Hmmmm.

I start a thread with a weird request and who's the first person to post in it?

Erik Mona.

That rocks so hard I can't even describe it. :D

[Cydeth]

And go figure, Lisa shows up to tease us! Now to see if I can manage to get to Gencon next year...

[Reckless]

Thanks bunches.

Oh, yeah I heard about that project, Lisa and I have to say...

Spoiler:

I prepared explosive hugs this morning.

[Kolokotroni]

I'm a little late to the party, but what the heck.

Thanks paizo for giving us great products, great service, and overall being great people. You guys are so far from the image of the cold money grubing corporate gaming company we need epic level plane shifts to get from them to you.

So, thanks.

[Alexander Kilcoyne]

*explodes from love overload*

But seriously +1 to almost every post above. Not much I can say thats not already been said.

[Evil Genius Prime]

Here here! *Raises Glass of Mead* To Paizo! To Pathfinder!

+ Bajillion! LOL!

[Hurmferd]

I love Paizo products! They've kept my game going ever since they took over Dungeon and Dragon, and have given me many hours of reading enjoyment. Well Done!

Hurm

Couldn't agree more.

And I wanted to stress again the accessibility online. Most of the big game companies (which I would include Paizo as big) have a website representative or two. Not usually involved with the developing of the game(s).

With Pazio, I really think it is great that the actual developers, editors, publishers and more make their presence available online, considering how very busy they are already. Heck, even the CEO makes her presence, how often do you see that? :)

I will be attending GenCon this year and look forward to meeting them in person! Already signed up for a couple of the Pathfinder panels.

[Asgetrion]

I, too, wish to thank Paizo from the bottom of my twisted, black Chelaxian soul -- THANK YOU for making me excited about D&D again! :)

[Dannym]

Thanks for taking my love for RPGs to a whole new level :)

[Ryan. Costello]

Strongly agree, and don`t understand how this thread hasn`t reached 100+ posts even though its been around for a few days.

[Mairkurion {tm}]

Woo-hoo! Haven't seen one of these in a while. PILE ON!!!

I'd say AEG is about on par with Paizo as far as being a part of its message board community. Then again AEG never held a Con where I got to see their lead designer get drunk and reenact Donkey Kong with cans of mountain dew. So yeah, advantage Paizo.

[Gimpyburger]

Thanks for existing Paizo!

I was burned badly by 4th edition, but thanks to Pathfinder I've rekindled my love of tabletop gaming.

[far_wanderer]

Rather than just adding another +1, let me share a small story.

When I first discovered Pathfinder, I had no gaming group, no way to get a gaming group, and these conditions looked like they would continue for quite some time (they did, for about six months). Despite that, Pathfinder still interested me enough conceptually that I checked out the SRD, and after I had done that I immediately ordered the Bestiary and Core.

So to sum up, I like Pathfinder enough that I bought it even when I couldn't use it, and I have never regretted that decision.

[Molly Dingle]

Another much-appreciative gamer geek here. I have yet to find a change or update in Pathfinder that I greatly disapprove of. Well-done all around!

[Amael]

I'm a 4e/Pathfinder player, and while I love both systems, I have to say I was never very satisfied with a lot of the settings for 3rd edition, with the exception of maybe Greyhawk and Planescape, but I have to say I really love what you all did with Golarion and how a lot of it is influenced by our real world history/legends/ etc. Golarion is definitely a very well made setting, and the adventure paths/icons are second to none in my opinion. Please do not ever stop making adventure paths :)

Amael did you ever look at the Sword and Sorcery 3.0 & 3.5 Scarred Lands? By Necromancer Games? After our discussion about movies you seem to have simuliar tastes they were pretty good. I was also a fan of Greyhawk.

I have been very happy with what Pazio has done been a subscriber since 1994 and have nothing but love for them. I am not like everything they have put out but I would I enjoy reading it all. It is great to know that they have kept up such a solid product over this time. The adventure paths are a great contribution to the gaming world and I for one am happy to spend the money on such a superior product.
