Shiver Me Timbers! A New Pathfinder Adventure Carrrrrrd Game Experience!

Oooh.

Holy ship!

The AP link is broken for me; it looks like it points to stage.paizo.com where it should point to just paizo.com

Cool. Given the switch to monthly release, will an AP still have six adventures? Or will there be twelve expansion decks?

I'm incredibly excited about this!

This comes out in August. My birthday is in September. I smell drunken nautical-themed shenanigans.

Cool. Given the switch to monthly release, will an AP still have six adventures? Or will there be twelve expansion decks?

I was wondering the same thing? Will that be 12 Adventure decks with 6 for the AP and 6 others or are we talking 2 APs with base sets per year?

I am hoping we are not looking at 6 months without content.

Aye, that's great news (as a prior Navy man, I feel I can get away with that)!

Repaired a broken link.

That's pretty awesome. Also... Swashbuckler? Warpriest? Advanced Class Guide?! *swoons*

So much awesome.

My group had a pool going on what the next box set would be so now it looks like I get to pay the winners! LOL

By the way we figured this was in the top three or four. Below are what we came up with as the most likely.

Legacy of Fire - Genies and Wishes
Skull and Shackles - Pirates
Curse of the Crimson Throne - For those that can count in order;)
Carrion Crown - Vampires & Werewolves

I am also glad they are going to monthly... as that could lead to two sets a year as a possibility.

If i am already a PACG subscriber will this product be included or will i need to start a new subscription?

Thanks

Each AP will still have 6 Adventure Decks. Our current plan is that we'll launch the third AP in February 2015.

Part of the sub—your subscription continues until you cancel it.

Great move with going monthly.

S&S is absolutely the right choice but I was thinking of the same options as you Thazar.
Unbelievably excited for this!

Awesome news all the way around.

Any new Iconic art (or any new art.) in any of these sets?

I heard there's a new pirate movie coming out... It's rated ARRRRRRRRRR. (Sorry couldn't resist!)

Haha! Whoops! Sorry Honey I didn't know it would keep going.. :P

The gift that keeps on giving!

I'm a little confused. There will be sharks, right?

I thought there was a Token of Remembrance around here.

There will be *lots* of new art in the S&S set—even more than there was in RotR. The iconics, though, will be the standard Wayne Reynolds illustrations.

Will there be a basic introductory adventure in the base set, akin to Perils of the Lost Coast in the RotR base set?

Yes. Basically, the format of S&S will mirror the format of RotR in just about every way, apart from Adventure Decks coming out much faster. (And yes, there will be promo cards...)

Great! I'm looking forward to it, and doing my best to forward this to BGG (where I'm sure the same questions will be posted dozens of times before long)

Awesome. Thanks Vic.

Can we put in requests?

Came here for this; was not disappointed. Can't wait to see them...I hope one of them is GROG.

PACG is my most played game in recent memory and am looking forward to future releases. I'd be wary of release overload though. A new base more than once a year might be PACG overload.

The bimonthly rate is too slow, gaming-wise. Me and my fiancee blew through the Burnt Offerings in 2 weeks and now we're waiting for the second set... which won't last 2 months, that's for sure :)

It's not locked down, so feel free to start a thread for that.

(For what it's worth, there are two that I personally consider frontrunners.)

Monthly will be so much better. One thig I'd liketo see box design wise: get rid of the space that exists for expansion boxes, replace it with more space for cards, 1 large space per 110 card expansion. I may be influenced by my sad need to sleeve cards.

I was thinking more action scene art with the Iconics rather than new standard Iconic art.

Yep—there will be a lot of new art of that type.

I was wondering if there are any numbers out on how many RotR base sets are being purchased compared to character expansion decks. It would be nice if the base set was simply a 6 player game with some 600 starting cards.

While I love this game, and the idea of monthy releases with the new base set; $400 a year to keep up with the PACG seems pricey for a lot of younger players... and maybe some older ones too ;)

$20 for a character expansion that should really be incuded in the base game just seems expensive for no real extra game content.

Outstanding, this was my 2nd favorite AP after Rise of the Runelords so I'm excited to get this one.

Although I do have to say I'm disappointed to see a new base set and not just AP packs and new character add-ons.

Keep the card box slots please! I like the portability of taking the whole thing with me (especially when flying) without having loose decks (and you have to be able to restore to earlier points when you have several different groups of players at different points.

It would be hard to determine, but I suspect the sleevers are in the minority, and the current box is good for those who don't). I partially sleeve - putting my character decks and the location cards that get frequently handled in sleeves.

I think a new base is necessary with each AP; the base cards provide a more thematic base of play. As for the money; you aren't required to buy every AP. If you can't afford it, don't buy it. Each AP will come to $180, assuming 1 base set at $60, a character add on at $20, and 5 additional adventures at $20 each. So that's $360 a year. If they didn't sell a base set, we'd be seeing 6 adventures at $120, or $240/year. So that's $60 extra per AP. I can swing an extra $120/year, even as a poor graduate student. If money is tight, be wise in your purchases. Maybe have a friend buy one AP and you buy the other. More cost for more material is no reason to complain; we as a community have largely been asking for more, and Paizo is giving us what we asked for.

Oh, well you are at least right about the math. Not sure what I was thinking about when I came up with $200 an AP!

I rather liked the slower pace of every other month.

I would definitely be up for some advanced paths though and I wouldn't even mind if they were a monthly release.

I dunno, I just kind of feel like it's now just turned into a big cash grab; "Holy *, this thing really took off, let's start churning out 2-3 sets per year and roll in the bucks".
I'd imagine this wasn't a real conversation, just not really making me feel hyped like while I've been waiting for my set to arrive (just a couple days now).

I suspect that a fair number of players will pick and choose APs, but I will be getting everything myself. I really enjoy everything about this game.

Wow, this was not the choice I was expecting for the second card game AP! But now that I see it, I think it's an AWESOME choice. Actually, Skull & Shackles was the AP that I started subscribing to Pathfinder for, and I think it's a great path (even though my group never played past Book 1).

Know I'm in the minority, but I gotta say I don't like the monthly shipping. The reason I was really able to add it to my budget was the bi-monthly schedule. Guess I'll see how things are looking come August, cause I do want them sharks....

That would work out better for me also. Im on the other side of the world and my local games shop doesn't even have pathfinder listed. Reliable international shipping aint cheap. Maybe customer service will be able to allow us to stagger our shipping over 2 purchases or so.

I am all for monthly. :)

Woohoo!

Backwards compatible...
You know what that means...
GOBLIN PIRATES

So with the returning classes (Bard, Fighter, Rogue, and Druid) will they be the same as the ones in RotRL or will they have new mechanics so that the ones from the original set won't be duplicated?

Excellent! I'll be buying it all up! Thanks guys!!!

I'm expecting different mechanics because Mike has posted before that they were planning to have different versions of Valeros in different base sets if they were able to make more base sets. We'll find out in December when the playtest materials go out :)
