You gotta make finding the PDFs easier. I don’t understand why they’re not just connected to the main link for the books.

So apparently there are not any stand-alone FVTT modules for BB2 or Troubles of Grayce - and they are instead combined into a bundled module listed as "Secrets of Grayce".
While like yeah sure, this is actually really good value for fvtt users! Glad to see it, but -
I don't think this was ever mentioned anywhere prior to now, and this blog post is written in a way that implies they both have standalone modules instead of this renamed merger.
Could the blog be updated, or this info be made available anywhere besides the store?

And the PDFs are available for purchase now as well - but please make the society adventures available for purchase, those are still shown as "out of stock".
Thank you also for making the sanctioning available for the beginner box right away.
The team is working on this! Thank you for the reminder!

Thank you for pointing this out, Lex! I'm going to take it to the team to see if I can get some answers for you!

It appears the society scenarios that were supposed to release on the 6th are still unavailable. Will they be available for purchase soon?

Thank you, they are available now - but, the Paizo gold coupons don't seem to be working on the Starfinder Society scenarios (it does work on the Pathfinder Society scenarios). I sent an email to CS, but just in case you're still communicating to whoever enabled purchases on the store.
I will pass this on! Thank you for letting me know!!

They said they've resolved this now too, Malevolent_Maple!

Renaming the "Digital Editions" links to "PDF Editions" might help a little bit. I know where to look now, but the first few times trying to find DPFs, I just assumed Digital Editions meant VTTs

Reading Tales from the Vast now, the adventures all look fun in a strange, horrifying way at times. When I first opened the book and saw the page border art, I instantly got the comic book inspiration for the title of the book. For these adventures, I think it's a fun style choice.

Looking over the new releases, I just feel the need to point out the many issues with the new product listings, because they're symptomatic of the many still-ongoing issues with the new storefront which significantly contributed to my no longer purchasing much in the way of new Paizo releases (vs. previously when I got most all the books in PDF)...
Neither of the new Pathfinder adventures have links to the Foundry module on their item page.
None of the three new adventures (Pathfinder or Starfinder) have links to the PDF versions on their item pages, nor vice versa.
The physical item pages still say "This product is expected to be released on May 6th, 2026." despite that being two days ago and the items being available now.
There is no information on page count (I was shocked to see Tales from the Vast at $40 for the PDF, and my gut reaction was that it must be around 200 pages given the recent PDF price increases... no, turns out it's around 150 pages, but you wouldn't know that from readily looking anywhere on Paizo's website)
The breadcrumb links for "Troubles in Grayce" still has it in the "Coming Soon" category rather than in the "Adventures" category.
The items have a "weight" field listed, but it's set to 0... it should either be filled in or just not displayed.
On the page for Troubles in Grayce, the link to Secrets of the Unlit Star leads to a 404 error.
...for this being the primary storefront for these items (and the only storefront for the PDF versions), the lack of attention to making a good experience for people trying to browse, buy, and learn about items is really baffling to me, especially since if it's losing enfranchised players (like me) I'm sure it's also turning new players away when they find it too difficult to figure out what's available and where. Paizo's made some very good steps on improving the new store since it launched (I'm SO glad to see the link colors finally fixed after months of them being almost unreadable, and it's much clearer now when there are sales happening) and I hope that these other sorts of small recurring things (as well as the larger things like the remaining library issues and PDF/Foundry discounts and missing map JPGs and other issues that have been reported for many months now) can be fixed to make the store a decent experience again.

I do think (short of having the PDF versions for sale on the same page as the main item listings, like the old Paizo store did and all the other RPG publishers I follow do) "PDF Editions" would probably be clearer for most products, though it would create some potential for new confusion for some items that also have epub or jpg files included in the Digital Edition version. Honestly from the name "Digital Editions" I'd expect it to include both PDF and Foundry stuff together, but Foundry modules are instead sequestered in a different part of the store.

In addition to the issues mentioned above (which seem to still be present), I'm seeing that none of these new releases are actually listed in the "New Releases" section of the store's homepage... I was going to look and check on the status of the above things and had to search or dig through categories to find the pages even of the newest books. Just mentioning this as another way that the new store's layout is not helping people find the things they're looking for. The "Just Arrived" section shows the Foundry module and one of the three new PDFs, but none of the other new items, while the "New Releases" section seems to still be primarily highlighting March releases and has no indication of the May releases.
