Whoo! A light month. I think the Paizo folks might enjoy a little bit of a breather... And so might my wallet.


Pathfinder Pathfinder Accessories, Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber

Nice,light month will let me replenish my account for the coming month.


Right after GenCon typically is rather light. But I'm relieved as well.


Ah, here it is.

Shadow Lodge

Paaaaaaaaaawns


Why are the pawns so collectible?

Grand Lodge

Probably because they don’t get reprinted.


I think I have all the Pathfinder and Starfinder pawn sets. Interesting, my spell checker just capitalized "Starfinder" for me, but not Pathfinder (I did that manually). Anyway, if I'm missing any it's probably a PF1 AP set or two.


I have all the AP sets, the Bestiary sets and every Starfinder set except Alien Archive 3 which I'll probably pick up today on my way home.

I know that everyone is hyped over their July shipments, but I'm just sitting here waiting to get Devastation Ark in my grubby little hands.

Turns out I just added it to my August shipment.

Go me!


Pathfinder Adventure Path, Lost Omens, Pathfinder Accessories, Rulebook Subscriber; Pathfinder Battles Case Subscriber

Will be interesting to see if August Authorizations start tomorrow when we still have July shipments pending


I don't know why that would make a difference. I'm pretty sure the two programs are mutually independent.

Many things could make a difference. For example if someone on the back end thought

'hey we can save money by combining orders'
or
'hey we need to manually push orders to get them out'
or
'hey we need to announce what the issue is and whether or not it will also affect august orders'

Those are 3 just off the top of my head that would make it interesting. But agree fully that they should be completely separate. Which leaves something else that would make it interesting to me.

If my August order ships before my July order lol


That would be wonderful... my Agents of Edgewatch is still sitting in the sidecart, can't find any buttons to say ship it now and all lines of communication seem to be potentially months from getting an answer, even if it is something as simple as someone from Paizo needs to click a button to move things along.

The PDF would be nice so I can start to prep for games. I understand the danger in getting PDFs early and people who will abuse that to get free PDFs and cancel subscriptions. I also believe the vast majority of people right now just want to know what is happening, and when orders will be filled.

Update: With the July shipment window extending into August, we are delaying order creation for August to give the Warehouse and Customer Service some time to prepare for August shipments.

We now expect to run the order creation auth on Monday August 10, which also means we should begin shipping on Wednesday August 13. Given the light load this month, we still expect to wrap up shipping by Friday August 21.

I think some of your examples are flawed, but okay.

That last problem I don't need to worry about: my July shipment arrived about 15 minutes ago.

APG, check. PF AP, check, SF AP check, SF pocket, check CRB, SF Starship Operations Manual, check, PF adventure, check, PF adventure flip mat, check, PFLO: Legends, check, PF flip tiles, check, 1.5 quarts of partially crushed styrofoam peanuts, check. Special secret mini gift, nope.

Okay, maybe I just dreamed up that last one. :-)

Take your time! Enjoy what hopefully is a less stressful month for you folks.

Because my July books just arrived at my door today. The fact that we'll see shipping start up again in a week is pure whiplash!


Was it one per APG?

I don’t think they’ve ever done that before. As they have this month, I’m pretty sure they always close one month’s off before starting the next month.

I should find out tomorrow (Friday) evening, as I did in fact order two copies.

Since the hive mind tends to live here:

I added a 4th subscription to my account. This should allow me to select the Pathfinder Society scenarios.

I know that this doesn't trigger until I get my first Accessories shipment, most likely in September. I assume this means I miss out on August releases, but how does it work?

Do I get an email asking me to make a selection? Is there a selection in my account page when it is triggered?

Thanks in advance hive mind.

Aww, when the shipping started the 10th there was a slight chance I'd have my AoE Book 2 PDF on my birthday. :c

Oh well! Still excited to read it. Thank you for the update!

If you go to manage subscriptions and scroll down there will be a place to select either PFS scenarios or SFS scenarios and you can change it yourself from month to month.

The 13th is a Thursday. Does shipping start on Wednesday the 12th?

I got shipping notification for my July order already, but I was hoping to have Agents book 2 PDF as a little birthday gift from me to me. lol


So, signing up for a subscription just after julys authorizations, still sitting in the sidecart after email and forum posts and whatnot.

Is it a reasonable assumption that with august authorizations in a few days, both books will trigger and ship out together at that point?


Most likely - unless they get to your forum posts/emails in the next few days (in which case they may push them out early).

As a general rule, when an active subscription run happens, Paizo's computer will sweep up whatever you have in your sidecart that's ready to go (unless you've specifically set something to ship independently back when you placed a preorder or something).

Sorry for being late getting back to this thread.

I ordered 2 and got 2.

Shipping Update:

To give Customer Service some time to get caught up and free up resources to be able to respond quickly to messages regarding August subscription orders, we are pushing the order creation authorization back to Thursday, August 13. We estimate shipping to start on Monday, August 17 and end on Wednesday, August 26 (street date). Thank you for your patience!


1 person marked this as a favorite.

We will see about your dates. I am skeptical of getting anything on time even with a low release month.


Pathfinder Starfinder Society Subscriber

They would have 8 business days to get everything out, and that is assuming that they don't further delay the start of shipping.

I suspect that at some point they may need to slip one month's items to catch up. The trends are not encouraging.

You gotta stop consulting that magic eight ball. :-)


Weird. I just got my Auth-email. It's close to 1am though, Paizo time.

Liberty's Edge

Likewise. It has begun.


My july subscription is still hanging out in the sidecart yet.

With the August order spawned... is anyone else seeing items in the store not showing up correctly (or at all), and even “disappearing” from your sidecart (though the item count remains “correct”). The Adv GM Screen (Portrait) and a Flip-Mat Classics for Nov/Dec both went wonky on me...

My sidecart says that it contains 18 items, but only 3 of them are showing up. I suspect that they decided that they were permanently out of the other 15 but something went wrong with the decrementing of the count.

So it appears that my problem is almost the exact reverse of yours.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Just because it has spawned does not mean it will be shipped out in a timely manner. There are still people waiting for their APG and other July orders.


My auth was apparently spawned at about 0230 PDT. And yeah, my sidecart is messed up. 4 items, but only showing one. Wish I could remember what was in there.


Fascinating. I opened my order history in another tab, and now *this* tab says (incorrectly) that's where I am.


Pathfinder Maps, Pathfinder Accessories Subscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber; Starfinder Superscriber

Still waiting for my order to spawn currently.

Edit: and it literally popped up after I posted.


mine auth'ed just now.
