For a month without Battles this sure is going to be an awfully expensive one for me.
You and me both.... between this and the current kickstarter pledge managers that will be launching in the next month....

Hello Everyone,
Update! The Pathfinder Advanced GM Screen has been moved to March, and thusly removed from the January releases.

Update! The Deck of Many Worlds has been moved to January. You guys all like cards, right? Cards are the best. Battle Cards, Spell Cards, World Cards! It's the year of the cards.

I want Extinction Curse and Gods and Magic so badly! I got my last downloads on about Nov 24 and it feels like forever :p. I’m craving the shiny new stuff.
I feel you! In vain hope I keep checking my orders page. Gods and Magic can't come soon enough for my table. Coupled with my wild curiosity over the circus shenanigans, even if we won't play that for a long time.

For people who worry about spikes in cashflow, it might be useful to buy yourself a few gift cards in the quiet months leading up to the big one.
You then redeem them and set your preferences to ”use store credit for subscriptions” when the expensive month rolls around.
The cost is identical In the long run, but perhaps $60 now, $60 in mid-January and $100 in February is easier to manage for people than $220 all in one go. (Obviously the exact numbers will be different for everyone, those are just an example).
I’ve done that before with my largest subscription orders and it worked well in my case.

It's also useful as a way to manage what exact day your credit card gets charged. I've seen people run into problems when the subscription run gets nebulous - the spawn happens, the pre-auth is placed but then expires before their package is shipped. They forget and suddenly there's a delay when their credit card doesn't have the funds because they think they've paid.
You can't push it back this way (though CS can do that usually), but you can bring it forward and decide to have the charge early (if the certainty is useful to you) then it makes no difference when your subscription order spawns or is packaged.

For a more serious answer: A couple of February products are now showing PDF/street dates of February 26th, which is a Wednesday just as January 29th is. Working backwards from there would give us the following:
•Authorization (Order Spawning) Date: Thursday, February 6th
•Begin Shipping Estimate: Monday, February 10th
•End Shipping Estimate: Friday, February 21st
•Street Date for Paizo Products: Wednesday, February 26th
Those are the dates that I would expect unless Paizo makes an unexpected change somewhere.

Folks, we had a couple items from the January products get held up in customs. We're expecting those to be released shortly, but we don't want to create orders until we know we've got those products in our warehouse. (This also gives the warehouse a chance to ship more pending orders that were delayed by inventory before starting January subscriptions). We do not expect this to effect our ability to get subscription orders shipped before the release date.
We are expecting to create orders on Monday the 13th, and begin shipping Wednesday the 15th.

Quick question. I subscribed to the Pathfinder Adventure Path subscription today. Will me order be rolled into authorization?
It should. Whenever they say they have completed the auths, you should let them know if you don't have a pending order and/or an auth e-mail from them. If you have at least a pending order by that point, you should be good to go.
As best I can tell, they haven't started running the auths yet.

Looks like they might be starting as my January items have moved from my upcoming subscription.

Hello Delierious2019,
Your new sub will be rolled into this authorization cycle! Anything you add to your sidecart or any subscription you start before we let you know we've begun to authorize will be included once we start. Likewise, anything added to your sidecart or any subscription started after order generation has ended will not be created into an order for this month automatically, but we can get things combined or pushed to ship manually if you let us know. Thank you!

Not sure if the cogs are still turning on the authorization, but I haven't received the auth email yet. The order also isn't in my "order history" or on the "My Subscriptions" page anymore.

I’m sure it’s still in the works. I haven’t gotten any emails or pending either. I wonder if It’s a superscriber thing, maybe it takes a little more time to sort out. I’m almost always on the back end of shipping.

I haven't received my auth notice or generated order either.
Then again, nobody at Paizo has announced that the auths were completed, so I won't panic until they do that or they very unexpectedly do something that assumes completed auths (such as begin shipping).

It is not a problem if the Gamemastery Guide is in your sidecart.It would be a problem if it were in your pending order, as that would hold up your pending order indefinitely.
So I guess my account has the "invisible order until shipped glitch" cause other then the sidecart product my "Gods & Magic" Lost Omens subscription has gone AFK from my account until the shipping happens.
last time one of my subscriptions was authorized I had to call in and request another copy of my authorization email to be sent to me. couldn't even see the subscription pending on my account until they sent me the authorization email to me again too.

Steve Geddes |

Could be a glitch, could be that they haven’t got to you in the queue. I haven’t seen anything yet either, but I always wait for the “Auth has finished, we’re about to start shipping” message before I check it over closely to call and sort anything out.
It’s hard when you’ve had a few months of glitches though. Certainly been there before - I’ve had subscription orders run so late they arrive after the next months sometimes because I left it too long to notice the problem.

this is the worst part of subscriptions...the waiting lol. I can't wait for the ship so I can download the PDFs and start diving into the material. I've never gotten an authorization email in the entire time I've ha da sub for the second edition ( roughly 5 months). I usually just find out when the order pops up in my order history as preparing to ship.
