GameMastery Cards - Rules-less Subscription?

[maybecca]

I know the answer to this is no and for very good reasons, or at least I'm pretty sure it is, but why not post anyway?

I like a lot of the card sets Paizo have been putting out, and would be tempted to subscribe if it wasn't for the pesky ones with all those icky Pathfinder rules on them. Item cards! Face cards! Even the chase cards, honestly - the only rules content on the cards is the DC, and I can ignore a number. But... I don't play Pathfinder, or a D&D close enough that critical decks are useful to me, let alone the buff and condition cards.

Dear Paizo, can I have a subscription to only the item/face/universalish decks and not the ones tied tightly to the rules, and also a pony?

Ah, I'll probably just keep picking a few up here and there when I stop by a better game store than the ones in my city. International shipping to the UK would eat the cost savings anyway. Besides, if Paizo did do it they'd miscategorise something with too many rules for my tastes or vice versa and I'd have Internet rage at them, or something. It's not exactly a practical idea!

You also can't airmail a pony.

You could subscribe and then "opt out" (by canceling your subscription for a month, then resubscribing) when something came along you didn't like.

But I want Paizo to cater to my every whim!

Nah, if I had to do that it would be easier to just buy them without the subscription. I'm going for lazy mode - no confirmation, just a new deck in the post every so often. My alternative (pop into the shops, see what's new) is just as lazy since I'd be going in anyway.

Again, I don't think this will happen, this post is more a way of saying that the decks are good products even for non-Pathfinder players and hopefully they'll continue to be as good and useful.

vvv Aw. It was just a stupid joke, sorry about that. vvv

Now that the joke's out of the way...

To answer your original question, our subscriptions are to everything in a particular line of products. We try to make sure that you have all the information you need to be able to make the choice of whether a subscription is going to be right for you.

As Steve mentioned previously, you can cancel at any time and resubscribe after unwanted items ship out.

Thanks,
cos

What about logjam months when both products get into the warehouse the same month due to a shipping delay from China and the system gives you "You may start your subscription with Product A or Product B" but if you subscribe to get A, you need to automatically get B if they're both shipping the same month?

It would be nice to have the system give you some option to start and end a subscription with a product for those months when you'd like to get Product A but skip Product B.

I'm pretty darn sure that someone like Cosmo could handle that in a jiffy. Yeah, it's not automated, but email isn't really that tough :)
