To have the product line be unceremoniously dropped kind of flies in the face of the goodwill that Paizo and Mike have worked hard to build up over the years and really can sour any future purchases from either. PACG hasn't been just some game I played, it has easily been the game I've most invested in financially and emotionally and I didn't have plans to stop. I've spent well over $800 total, finished 3 of the base games multiple times each, am working on the 'Adventure card society' paths for 2 of them, played this game while traveling around the world, bought the Japanese version of this game in Japan and had to track down parts of the game at various times to keep playing where ever I was living. But yea, it feels like a real let down to not just get a 'we would like to thank the fans for their support over the years! Due to the world economic situation, and with heavy hearts, we have been forced to discontinue our beloved PACG line' I said it.)Ĭlearly the decision has been made and really, it must be mostly economic or else the product line would continue come what may.

Paizo's non-communication about the card game's demise conveys a very non-Paizo-like disrespect for customers which is reminiscent of Another RPG Company Which Will Not Be Named.* Dear Paizo: can't you do better? The first RPG purchases I made in my adult life were for Pathfinder, because I first played the card game. (3) Many non-RPG-playing card game players have now started playing the Pathfinder RPG. And, despite having very few friends, even I know more than one five-star Pathfinder GM who plays the card game. When an RPG player accidently posts in the card game forum, nearly always a card game player is well-versed enough to answer the RPG question. (2) Many card game players are long-time Pathfinder RPG players. MRSP for the complete sets is $820 organized play decks and PDFs push that higher. (1) Loyal card games fans have spent $800 to $1000, or more, on Paizo. But Paizo's near-total lack of communication about this decision disregards three facts:

PaizoCon just came and went with nary a mention of the card game's demise, AFAIK.

(It hadn't.) The fact that the Organized Play Manager posted this in the PACS forum led many to believe that only PACG Organized Play is scheduled for termination, not PACG itself.

That head-scratch-inducing line implies the product line's termination had been mentioned elsewhere. Tonya Woldridge wrote: As we continue winding down our Pathfinder Adventure Card Game program, we’ve decided to end it with a bang!
