"I am shocked--shocked!--to find that there are vampires in Ustalev!"

I couldn't flag the actual blog post for putting spoilers in the thread title, so I just flagged every replying post in the thread instead.
Awesome Seelah and awesome Classy Vampire. As classy as a nosferatu gets at least. ;)
Gothic architecture on top of gothic architecture. So want this to be out like right now.
Very nice! I love the dynamic poses :)
Holds up art.."This is what Paladins do Children"
This indicates to me that Carrion Crown is going to be as much fun as a return to the Demiplane of Dread.
Art is seriously awesome - Seelah vs Barlow [The gatefold art has David Soul side left] :)
Finally, a real vampire (not some punk noble in a cape)...2011 looks better and better.
This picture is everything that is good about fantasy art.
Man, I can't wait for this AP. I looked forward to Legacy of Fire and Kingmaker, but this has to the most feverishly anticipated one, as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for the beautiful preview.
Awesome, my money is also on Seelah.
That's a sucker's bet. She's an iconic. She has plot immunity.
The best any villain can hope for is resurrection in the sequel. That's such a standard trope with vampires that it might as well be listed as part of their curse.
Ok ok I wasn't sure about Carrion Crown but this makes me think that it will probably be my third AP PbP
Dear Paizo,
I am not looking forward to this AP at all... The creepy gothic atmosphere, the political intrigue, the promise of some really spooky bad guys... not interested at all... nope... not at all.....
Ok Fine! I NEED it ok?!? PLEASE DONT MAKE ME WAIT!!?!
~laughter~ Addict!

GORGEOUS ARTWORK! So when is the Paizo art auction for original prints?
On the originals, you may have to go to the artists themselves. They can't sell prints, but they can sell the original.(scored one piece at last year's Gencon, woo!)
But if Paizo ever did start selling prints/posters of art, I really do hope this one would be available.
Also, our art contract does, in fact, allow artists to sell prints of their work.
That's very cool.
Are we sure he's a vampire? He doesn't seem sparkly enough. :-P
*shudder* Did you have to remind me of Twilight?
And I am so looking forward to Carrion Crown, especially if Lucimar the Lich-Wolf shows up in it.
Also, our art contract does, in fact, allow artists to sell prints of their work.brb, hunting down Alex Aparin's contact info and then working down the artist list in alphabetical order. :D
Here's his deviantart page. There's an e-mail address there (alexey@belibr.com), but the belibr.com website would appear to be down.
Aargh! This art is so cool that I'll be forced to burst my wallet for anything related to the upcoming ustalav AP! Aaargh!!!

That said, I'm all for this AP to have art of undead iconics. Ghost Seoni, Vampire Seelah, Huccuva Kyra, Zombie Lem, Lich Ezren...
And Seytel looking perfectly normal shrugging like, "What, they're better this way."
Dread vs Dreadlock
Area book for Ustalav where the Carrion Crown AP is set. Like Heart of the Jungle, Dark Markets and Guide to Korvosa.
I'm SO excited about this cover and glad we can finally show it off. This has been lurking on my PC desktop for a few months now and I'm still in love with it.
But I'm still waiting for THE CURSE to set in on this book.
You see, anytime you put together a book that your name is also on the cover of, THE CURSE kicks in. Despite your best intentions, your most deliberate attentions, and your most OCD nitpicks, SOMETHING will go wrong. There invariably will be SOME goof or oversight or unpredictable unchangeable @#$%-up that stains what is otherwise a steamy gamer love letter to yourself.
I'm still waiting to see what it is for mine. Without naming names, there's a few folks around here who have gotten hit by THE CURSE pretty hard this past year - don't ask, it's too painful - so I'm bracing. I'm pretty sure it's not anything on our end this time around - maps: great, art: incredible, words: brilliant - so I'm kind of expecting the boat to get hit by like an umi-bozu on the way back from our printer or something.
Of course, I guess it wouldn't be a book about gothic horror without a good CURSE. I just want to know what it is!
+1 for LOVE that artwork.
The dynamism of the figures, the moody colors, the dreamlike sketchiness of the castle in the background, wow. It's perfect down to that little tattered fringe of cloth sweeping out behind her shield.

We should start a thread where we speculate about Wes' curse. I think his face might be horribly disfigured, and he'll take to wearing a mask and cape and communicating with staff and contributors by song.

But wouldn't that require official Psionics rules because he'd be 'inside your mind'
..and now I'll have that damned song in MY mind for the next two days...curse you Mairkurion
On the blog entry title:
Noooooooo, really? ;)
This looks like it would be good for Ravenloft fans to mine ideas from.

True! And appropriate in a cyclical sort of way.

You think this is bad for you? Just wait until Jacobs gets his fill of Wes' curse.
I am digging the AP already and I've been a huge fan of Ravenloft for a long time, but that cover doesn't do it for me.
The nosferatu-styled head is offset by the martial-arts-clawing-attack. And why would any serious s&b-style fighter hold his shield like Seelah does?
And then there's the funny looking castle in the background - is that sugar icing on the roofs?
You think this is bad for you? Just wait until Jacobs gets his fill of Wes' curse.Trust me. I've already been hit by the curse. Twice. And that's part of what's making Wes nervous.
You missed the musical reference above. My setup was full of fail. :(
Was the curse really worse than Wes turning into the Phantom and transforming your work environment into your most hated genre? What would that be like, say, on day one hundred?
