Turjan, Shackled City sells (present tense) quite well. The initial preorders were lower than we had anticipated, but once the buzz was out on the street, sales strengthened and continue to this day. We sell Shackled City fairly regularly and I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes an...

All, We are currently evaluating proposals and investigating opportunities to partner with book distributors. We have not decided upon a partner yet, and it is likely that the DC will be available primarily through the hobby channel and at paizo.com. Future books, however, should be equally...

Hey all, Just to clarify for anyone reading this thread who might be confused: The Compleat Encounter products are RPG products (they have a short RPG adventure and map tiles scaled for minis use) that you could use in your D&D Minis game. Keith Strohm Chief Operating Officer Paizo...

The very first Dragon CompendiumDesign Diary has been posted at paizo.com. We've asked Erik to talk a little bit about what went in to putting together the contents for our first Dragon compilation. We've also posted an updated cover image! Helpfully yours, Keith Strohm Chief Operating...

Man in the Funny Hat, I am sorry that you had such a negative experience with our online store at Paizo. As many EnWorlders know, we strive to offer the best customer experience for readers of our magazines, those who play our games, and those who shop on paizo.com. I wanted to first...

Dr. Awkward, I'm sorry to hear about your subscription difficulties. You can always check our website to see when your subscription shipped and what issue it was. Sometimes, if you purchase your sub just after we do a subscriber label run, you will 'miss' an issue because your subscription...

Paizo originally began three years ago as a magazine publisher. As I mentioned in another post, Paizo sends out tens of thousands of subscriptions each month, with only a handful of issues. Our industry (and our company) is unusual in that consumers (and professionals) are much more...

DMCal, I am truly sorry that you are experiencing such difficulties with your subscription. I went and checked through the issues we shipped out since you changed your address, and your address label was sent to the printers and shipped out to the post office. Once the magazines leave our...

Which other distribution channels do you mean? Shackled City is currently available in hobby stores and on paizo.com. We have been trying to get the product into bookstores,but the process has been slower than we had liked. If you email me and let me know where you live, I can see if there...

Due to the terms of our licensing agreement with Wizards of the Coast, we can't sell PDf's of print products that are still in print. Keith Strohm Chief Operating Officer Paizo Publishing, LLC

Unless they buy Shackled City from a bookstore distributor (like Ingram--who might buy from Alliance) B&N, Borders, and the rest of the book channel will not have the SC available for sale. We are currently working on having our book products sold in to the book channel, but that hasn't happened...

In which Sean Glenn, art director extraordinaire, offers a behind the scenes look at the visual construction of the Shackled City Book--including how a sketch turned into a final piece. Go here to check it out. Or stop by your local game store and pick up a copy--it's available now! Keith...

Atom Crash, Customer Service is important to us! I am sorry that you didn't get to speak to a person when you called. If you send me your name and address via email (keith@paizo.com), I'll have an answer for you regarding your subscription--though normally it takes anywhere from between 7...

The Shackled City Adventure Path Campaign book is available through your local game store as well as on paizo.com. I've also heard that Barnes & Noble has it for sale on its online store. Every major distributor has ordered some, so if your local shop hasn't ordered it yet, they can do so by...

The CE sets will include a 2000 word RPG micro-adventure, so you'll be getting more than just the minis. Glad you like the sculpts. Keith Strohm Chief Operating Officer Paizo Publishing, LLC
