For many months now, fans of Super Genius Games' Pathfinder-compatible PDFs have asked if we could save them some time and effort by allowing subscriptions to our PDF lines. This is something we had hoped to eventually set up with Paizo, and spoke to Paizo about several times, but sadly that isn't currently an option for us. Since the situation with Paizo doesn't seem likely to change (though we'd be happy to set something up if it ever does), we concluded we needed to look at our other resources to make this happen.
And now, we have!
With the help of Dungeonaday.com (created by Monte Cook), Super Genius Games is now proud to announce a subscription plan that allows fans to get all our Pathfinder-compatible products in one easy step. The All-Genius Pass is a subscription plan through Dungeonaday.com that allows subscribers to receive every Pathfinder-compatible PDF we create, plus access to the Dragon's Delve megadungeon through the Dungeonaday.com website. With more than 20 levels (originally written for 3.5 OGL game rules, but now updated with Pathfinder-compatible game stats for the first 5 levels, all new content, and rapidly expanding to cover the entire dungeon), the Dungeonaday.com adds 5 encounters a week to your game content and can be used as a single massive campaign, or as a place to steal ideas, monsters, spells, and traps to use in campaigns of your own design.
In addition to that content, every Pathfinder-compatible PDF product Super Genius produces is available free to All-Genius Pass subscribers. Plus if you ever lose your data, you can get replacement PDFs for every product that came out during your subscription period. So there's no way to lose, and an amazing amount of game material available!
An annual All-Genius Pass runs just $99, less than $2/week, and a quarterly All-Genius Pass is just $29.00 for 3 months. To subscribe, simply go to https://dungeonaday.ssl.subhub.com/subscribe/, and join now!
So wait... I get all the pathfinder genius pdfs AND access to the content in the Megadungeon? For 99 a year? Are you kidding? I am punching this ticket as soon as I get home today...

Linkified for you. And subscribed.
You might want to update your paypal account, though. It's still going to Hyrum's e-mail. Although I'm sure he'd love the extra money. ;-)

Not kidding! Everything we product from (slightly before) you subscribe up until the day you (presumably by accident) don't renew, for $99/year!

Thank you, and thank you!

Heheh. It turns out the process of changing subhub's PayPal links for renewing subscribers (so they don't have to start whole new subscriptions) and/or changing ownership/names involved on PayPal accounts is a bit of a pain. We have a back-end solution in place that ensures everyone gets the money they deserve, so you can subscribe without fear we'll go uncompensated for it. :)
I am a current subscriber to Dungeon-a-Day and I purchase the vast majority of SGG PDF's; the All Genius Pass is a match made in heaven for me.
The only question I have is: how would the All Genius Pass mesh with my current subscription? Would I have to wait until the current subscription period has run out to switch to the AGP, or can one simply "upgrade" a current subscription and have the Genius Pass portion prorated in (or something)? I hope the question makes sense, and thanks for the help!

Yeah, I'm confused on this too. I mean I'd like future SGG games products as part of my subscription (technically speaking, it's free stuff if my subscription doesn't go up). But based on other companies doing offers like this (in other fields) I'd not be overly surprised if my original subscription doesn't cover this.

The *idea* is that normal Dungeonaday.com subscriptions and All-Genius Pass subscriptions are different options, with different costs. (Which is confusing because we lowered renewals at the same time we added the DaD option.)
I'm afraid I must sheepishly admit it didn't occur to me anyone currently on an existing, not-soon-to-expire Dungeonaday.com subscription might wish to upgrade to the AGP. As a result there's no way to do that.
Yet.
Gimme a few days, folks, and I'll make sure some kind of upgrade option exists. I need to talk to the tech guys about it. Worst-case scenario, I'll just do the math on a cocktail napkin, have you send the extra few $$$ to our PayPal, and fix your subscriptions options myself, manually. So I will make sure you guys can do this, once I'm done feeling stupid for not having that option ready for the rollout.

Hey, it's a new experience, only way to learn is to frak up. (Did I mention I've two ex-wives?)
I should let you know that my pages *does* show the SGG downloads like the Dungeonaday downloads. I clicked on one to see if they are mixed, but it doesn't let me DL them. So *that's* working correctly at least.
It mocks me it does, but it doesn't let me DL them :-)
P.S.
P.P.S.
P.P.P.S
I want to upgrade my Dungeonaday subscription to All-Genius Pass too!

I want to upgrade my Dungeonaday subscription to All-Genius Pass too!We're working on the best way to do that. I'll keep everyone posted.
Let us know when you do - my charter membership is up in April, and you know how many times I've wished for the subscription option. (For example, I just bought 7 other SGG PDFs on Sunday as I finally found a new job.)

*nods* Subscriptions are, um, dangerous for me because of their 'fire and forget' nature. But with it looking likely one of my strays will have a job soon and take over the cell phone bill, I can safely add another.
Out of curiosity do you expect there to often be delays between when a product is available on paizo.com or another site and when its available in dungeon a day through the subscription? Seems fire magic is up here at paizo but I dont see it among the other genius products in the dungeon a day store.

No, we absolutely don't expect that to be the case in the future. We were hoping to time the Dungeonaday.com and Paizo releases to within a few hours of each other, but the Paizo release took a little longer than usual. Thus we were holding off on the Dungeonaday.com release... until suddenly our intern had to go to bed and hasn't gotten to it yet today.
This has taught us not to try to be that precisions timed, and I fully expect the Dungeonaday.com release and Paizo release to happen on the same day from now on, even if not at the same hour.
That said, I'm sure there will be weeks when Dungeonaday.com goes up first, when Paizo goes up first, or even when OneBookShelf goes up first. That's one of the challenges of dealing with three separate, unrelated file hosting services.

Our PDF uploader lets you schedule the time that your PDF goes live on paizo.com (so long as you give us enough lead time to actually approve your listing before your selected go-live time). I believe OBS also offers that, so as long as the PDF is ready a day or two before you want to start selling it, you can usually coordinate them all.

You let your interns sleep? You old softie, you!
I am VERY intrigued.

I am VERY intrigued.
Anything we can elaborate on to heighten your intrigue?
An Upgrade from Charter membership to All-GeniusPass would be VERY appreciated.
I am still working on that. It turns out how we have things set up makes this trickier than I would have thought, but I hope to at least have a work-around in place by sometime next week.
this is utterly spectacular news!!
First of all, it's a big score for you SSG folk, so grats there!!
Double, it's a big score for me, though sadly atm, I can't afford this, as i really need a new laptop, but as soon as i can, it shall be mine!!
Tricycle, does this plan allow free access to all previous SSG PDFs??? if not, could you work out some sort of discount, so those of us who do not have the full SSG library can finish it?

Sadly it just can't. It does include a few weeks prior to your subscription, but if it includes everything in the back-stock people are actually encouraged not to subscribe, since they get more if they subscribe later. This is a known problem in subscription circles.
We might arrange for reduced-price PDFs for subscribers at some point, but if so it'll like be specific, limited-time specials, for much the reasons I just mentioned.

What if you just make it a decent discount? a lot of you PDFs are $2.99, right? what if give them to subscribers at $2.50, or even 2.25? for extra incentive, make it only available to people who purchase the annual plan, as opposed to the 3 month plan.

UPDATE!
Anyone with a current subscription to dungeonaday.com, who would like to upgrade the remainder of your subscription to be an All-Genius Pass, should contact our intern, Anthony (anthony@supergeniusgames.com). He'll determine what the pro-rated cost for the rest of your subscription is and bill you. Once you pay the difference, we'll manually change the rest of your subscription to be an AGP.
If you are a charter member, be sure to mention that, both so we can calculate the correct billing, and to ensure we maintain your charter status.
