We found out this week that the shipment containing Pathfinder 17, as well as Pathfinder Companion: Osirion, and Pathfinder Chronicles: Guide to Absalom will be on time after all!
(Earlier in the month, we were told that it had been delayed until early January).
Assuming weather doesn't get in the way, we expect to ship subscriber copies next week.

Great work Vic! Three volumes of Paizo-goodness is just what I need to pass the time during the slow holidays.

Weird. We'll see if we can't get it fixed.FYI: In the Single File per Chapter PDF for #17, in the adventure chapter, the map on page 36 is only selectable in sections (trying to get labelless maps using Adobe Reader 8).
I checked the rest of the maps - no other problems that I noticed.
Hmm. My usual methods for fixing that sort of thing aren't working...
Another issue with the PDF, both pre- and post-revision: it seems to be missing the title page, jumping straight from the Drow Runes to the Credits page. The problem with this is that if you're viewing the PDF in 2-page mode, it leaves the odd numbered pages on the left instead of the right, and our two-page spreads are broken up.
I'm running Preview on Mac, and this seems to be the first time this has happened - earlier chapters of Second Darkness all display correctly. Same behavior on Adobe Reader, although at least there you can toggle the "Show Cover in 2-Up" option to get the display correct.
This is the Single File edition, not the multiple PDF version.
On a second, complete reading: I was afraid this adventure would be yet another backstab by people the group would like to trust and ally with - something that needs to be done very sparingly. Thus, I was very critical of it.
Fortunately, the most critical part (get a little bit deceived by the elven queen, ally with the succubus) seemed to have received quite a bit of love and care, which I applaud. I can see how even a strongly good-aligned party might "get the hint" with the book. Good job so far.

We'll fix on Monday.
On the inside cover, PF17 says that PCs should start at 12th and reach 14th at the end. The iconics in the back are statted for 12th level. The product description says it's for 11th-13th.
PF16's inside cover says it starts at 9th and ends at 11th. The iconics there are statted at 10th level.
Which is correct?
Thanks Vic — I was starting to think I was crazy! I never would have expected to find a map legend a full two page-turns removed from the closest map.
I can see that page 26 couldn't have supported another sidebar, but it looks like 37 might have. I'm just thankful I had the time to read everything and get a response from you well before I'll running this part of the AP. However, I can easily see myself performing a *headdesk* behind my DM screen if trying to perform such a hunt at gametime — perhaps a bit of usability feedback to keep in mind for future page layouts. :)

I'm totally in agreement there!
