Very generous and much appreciated! I used Syrinscape for my recent run of Carrion Hill, and it really helped to set the mood.
One word of warning for folks who haven't tried it out - while it adds a lot to a game, it's not really appropriate for convention use or other multi-event locations. We had one local GM just about lose his voice competing with it at PaizoCon one year.

There are few products that I think really help improve the tabletop Pathfinder experience. Syrinscape is high up on that list. The background noises, battle music, spell effects, and the like really just add to the whole experience.
For me, the trick was finding the right volume - too high, and it becomes distracting; too low, and it's useless. But, once I put my cone bluetooth speaker at the edge of the table and adjusted the volume to the sweet spot, it was really golden.
My group LOVES it. I was just about to buy the next pack for RotRL - now, I don't have to!
Sooo..if there's no email, not even in the spam blocker, do we keep waiting or does it need to be addressed?I'm wondering the same thing as well. Is there a list for which you need to sign-up/be manually added to once you hit 4-stars?
Hi! If you weren't already a 4 or 5-star GM, or VO, by the time the promotion went out yesterday, you're not eligible for this particular reward, this year. But, there will be more rewards coming!
If you are a 4 or 5-star GM, or VO, and didn't receive your offer, or are having issues redeeming it, contact Benjamin at Syrinscape dot com and he'll sort you out.

Hi Mark!
Just a quick heads up since you've been purchasing the Pathfinder SoundPacks. This reward is an access/unlock of the library for one year, but it doesn't give the user downloadable ownership of the content, as you get when you purchase it. If you want to retain the sound files after the year, you'll want to buy them.
Have fun!

Yep! That just means I have to get a lot of game nights in on the campaign before the year is up :-D

As someone aiming to get to four stars in the next couple of months (after devoting myself to running a sanctioned AP), that's extremely disappointing.
If you haven't received an email, please also confirm that you're checking the email account actually tied to your paizo.com account.

I can hope to one day join the ranks of all you awesome folk. :D
Being a VO or having lots of stars doesnt make you awesome; dedicating time and effort to the campaign does.
The fact that you have 2 stars tells me youve run at least 30 tables, meaning youve put in around 120 hours (or 5 whole days) of game time, PLUS the time it takes to prep for all those tables.
Believe me, you are already awesome, Jack. The campaign needs more people to put in as much effort and time as you have. :)

Couldn't have said it better myself.

First of all, thanks to Paizo and Syrinscape.
Score! I wonder if it will work okay over Roll20...
Syrinscape is working on a way to make this work over an internet connection but there are some tricks that people have come up with that could help you. Here is a paizo blog (with comments from people on how to implement it).

I am sure someone will fix my link. I just don't want to spend the time to learn how to properly link something on this forum.

Yup, you're all awesome! The dedication and hard work of Pathfinder Society VOs, and GMs at all levels, is so greatly appreciated. And that's why there will be more rewards coming - stay tuned!

I love the idea of Syrinscape helping with ambiance... Hope those over the VTT get some immersive sound too.
From the messages in that blog, Gwaihir Scout has the ways to try.

Thanks for the resource! I use Google Hangouts, so I'll have to research and test out what works.

I think it's more likely there's an issue on the Paizo end.
I say this because in my case, I've been a 4 star for some time now (3-4 months?) and I still don't have access to any 4-star exclusive Paizo downloads.
However, as suggested upthread, I have indeed contacted Benjamin.

I see the issue now. This has been corrected in our system, though since you're contacting Benjamin I won't try to push this correspondence though.

Just to check; was that a general issue or specific for Deusvult? Since Deusvult's case sounds a whole lot like me (right email for the account, 4-stars since the start of the year, received no email) I'm not complaining about missing out on this, but I do like to check if I'm not going to miss out on something down the road - like the chance to run exclusive scenario's.

Have you received the 4 star exclusive scenario as of yet? (at this time it's Bonekeep 1)
If not, you probably need to have your account "toggled" to receive those. It's not an automatic once you hit 4 stars, they have to do "something" to grant those benefits.
EDIT: And if you haven't, I'd contact Chris or customer service. If you have, I'd contact Syrinscape.
Investigation pending for 4-Star folks. Please stand by.

Thats too bad, missed it by 3 tables, will be getting at least 5 at Paizo Con.
Oh well, I don't GM to get stuff, I GM to have fun and give back to a community that has given me a great deal of entertainment and fun, especially through some difficult times.
Edited: Thanks for the all the support you do give us!
Okay, all missing 4-Star GMs should be sorted in our system now. If you run into any trouble and were a 4-Star BEFORE yesterday (5/12), please contact me directly at chris.lambertz@paizo.com.

thank you so much for the gift. it is very kind of you.
I have clicked the link, opened my new account with this email, which I use for my Paizo account. I have downloaded the app.
However, I understand that the sound sets should be free but they are coming up as priced.
Am I doing something wrong?
Please help.
Thank you
Chris Brockley-Blatt

Awesome and exciting. Thank you so much.
I've been blasting random sound effects at my students all morning!The question remains, however:
"SY-ren-scape" or "SEE-ren-scape"?Ta.
Hi Michael,
It's SY-ren-scape.
As in sirens - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siren_%28mythology%29
