Today my 200th order from Paizo arrived. I was ready for it. What I wasn't ready for, WAS THIS.


Ha-nice...


You just inspired me to check how many orders I've made here - I'm well back with just 128 (and a little bit of astonishment that it's so high).

That is just excellent.

I'm trying very hard not to think about how much $ went into those 200 orders, but I fear that the number is high enough to warrant such a jubilant anniversary.

And honestly all I wished for were Cosmo's used socks, really.

That would set you free, after all. :-)

OK, that's really cool! :)
And don't think of the money in the 200 orders... think of all the enjoyment instead! Well worth it, I'm sure!
Congrats on the awesome surprise though!

I'm tempted to go look at my order count too.

Did I mention I got a couple of PF Card Game promos, too? :P


Very cool. And classy. I've always found the CS department to be so.

Silver Crusade

That made my day.


I was really hoping your story would be more similar to this:

xkcd


OK I'm curious, what did they send you? (facebook is blocked here at work)

A goblin party mask signed by CS team + Cosmo
A tohou kawaii greeting card signed by Erik Keith
Card Game promos
Lots of foam
I mean, reallyblots

Now I'm curious what this Touhou thing is. Of course, I've been living in a hole in the ground in the middle of nowhere for the past five years or so I may have missed a few things...

It would seem that somebody really enjoys their job though :D

Glad you got a kick out of it. Someone noticed you post about your 200th order and I had a goblin mask on my desk and was like.... wouldn't it be funny if... and thus the idea formed into existence. Glad it made it there safely. I was a little worried customs would raise an eyebrow since they weren't on the manifest.

Cheers!
Here's to 200 more ;)


Thats is awesome. One more reason to love Paizo.

The Touhou Project is a series of indie shoot-em-up games, of the "bullet hell" subgenre where you're flying a plane through wave after wave of opponents and the screen is filled with enemy missiles and bullets that you have to desperately dodge.

Except that instead of a plane, you're a cute Japanese monster girl.

Ha! That's awesome, Gorbs!

You're 1 ahead of me; my 200th order will be next month's subscription shipment. :D

Bah, it's clearly due to the crazy customers they have to deal with.

"Where's my playtest?"
"When do I get celestial totems for my barbarian?"
"My subscription didn't smell like unicorn farts!"
"I wrote Pathfinder before you, how to resolve?"
"I am a Nigerian prince and would like to make you a special offer."

TOZ, I had no idea you were nobility ...


Does it include everything ordered from this site or just certain product lines?


Man, Im only up to 80. I really need to try harder.

Don't be disappointed at the lack of surprise extras. I've had 220 orders already, and nothing unexpected. (And how great is that?!?)

Hey, it's not a surprise extra if everyone gets them!

Dear Paizo,

Plz include one of those dog cone things but bag-sized for Gorbacz's 400th order.

Also, this is <3warming. :)

checks history

204!


Makes me think of Reaper Miniatures a little bit. They'll throw in paint samples on occasion, and write little notes on order invoices. If you write something funny and/or nice in the order comments box, which also gets printed on your invoice, their pickers/packers will often write something in reply. I've seen where one guy asked for them to steal their boss's hat and throw it in with his order, and the packer drew a hat that resembled it instead and wrote something like "I couldn't get the hat away from him, so I drew one like it instead."

Personally, I asked for them to super-size my paint order because the 1/2 oz bottles didn't quench my thirst, and their response was "Sorry dude, that's McDonald's. We're Wendy's fans here. But have a couple sample paints instead." Made me tempted to ask them to Biggie(or Great Biggie) size it the next time I order paint.

Gotta love some good customer service.

Right. I don't expect anything. Gorbacz and I started on the forums about the same time and his post reminded me that I was approaching 200 as well. It's kinda funny our orders are within 1 of each other.

Maybe you'll get Cosmo's socks. If so, I envy you FOREVER.

I started half a year after you and I'm beating you in orders AND postcount. Slackers.

Nah, you're just trying too hard TOZ.

Congrats, Gorbacz! Really great stuff. Paizo people are the best! :-)

Most of the time, I prefer my little "surprise additions" to be unseen and undetected.

Lol! I thought the same thing when I read that.

Only 179 orders here.. I bet it'd be higher if I didn't combine so many orders.

Dark Archive

Hah! Congratulations, Bagsy! I'll probably never reach that number, since I purchase all my Paizo stuff at my FLGS. Then again, I won't have to think about Cosmo's "suprises" (I'm sure he'd do something nasty, like coating the whole box with transparent and odorless anti-beard toxin).

If you want any socks formerly owned by Cosmo, send me an e-mail. My imps have picked up quite a collection of them. Naturally, I will sell them at a reasonable price. ;P

Just so everyone understands, this is not a normal thing. We don't track number of orders and we don't usually include special things like this. It just happened that the circumstances aligned for Gorbacz :)

So, this made me look at my status for the first time in ages and, apart from a meaningless smugness about having been around a smidgeon longer than TOZ, I just realised that I'm no longer a "Pathfinder Campaign Setting Superscriber".

What happened?

Well, celestial aligning implies (at least to me) that the universe is moving into position for something good.

This is Gorbacz we're talking about, so what's the other end of the spectrum?

Black holes aligned?

Six sixth children of sixth sons simultaneously saw the sixth sign and silently screamed a summoning to a sky seared by a sin-fueled sun?

Harmonic convergence. The spirit of darkness is freed.
