I realize this may be too early but what about feats, prestige classes, magic items, etc.? Will we be seeing any of that?
I'm not trying to be a wise guy, but...
In the description they wrote:
The unplumbed secrets of the Society’s vast Grand Lodge in the fabulous city of Absalom stand ready for your campaign, accompanied by a host of new magic items, feats, and spells appropriate for Pathfinder Society characters and fully legal for use in Paizo’s massive Pathfinder Society Organized Play campaign!
You got your feats and magic items covered.. along with spells..
So all you need to know is whether there are any new prestige classes or not.
Is this another "by James Jacobs" placeholder, or is he actually writing it?
It's another placeholder.

arrrrgggg!!!!! why isn't it june yet?
Because those of us in Arizona want to enjoy 1 of our two seasons. Not Summer is just starting where highs will be in the 50s to 70s for the next 6 months. The other season called "A/C" has similar characteristics, but you can't go outside.

Aaaawwwww... I thought it was totally awesome that you were the writer for this book. :(
Of course, I'm sure that whoever is the writer will be most excellent, I've yet to find fault with any of Paizo's various products.
June is my B-Day month as well... it will be a very nice present to myself.
I only wish it were coming out sooner. I intend to run "Crucible of Chaos" for gaming group #2 and told them that I want them to have ties to the Pathfinder Society, and this little gem would be awesome to have... now! (Or sooner than June anyway.) ;)
On the other hand, we aren't ready for that yet, I'm still trying to close the 4e Forgotten Realms game with "Scepter Tower of Spellgard" hoping for a TPK so I can take 'em back to v.3.5 and Pathfinder (to stay) ;) Shhhh... don't tell them.
Anyway... looking forward (eagerly so) to this book.
Will the crunch in this one be PFRPG, 3.5, or close enough to be either one? It says that this can be used with the Pathfinder Society organized play and since by August that will be in the PFRPG format all the crunch in the book will be valid for more than two months.

We're hoping to make the crunch in this book work for both 3.5 and for PFRPG, as much as possible. In fact, the majority of the crunch in books we're releasing now should be compatible with PF RPG; things like spells and feats and magic items are going to be relatively unchanged, after all; we're taking care that, in writing the new stuff, it's easy to use for either game.
Actually, I'm not writing it (and there's an "s" at the end of Jacobs, FWIW). My name's used as a placeholder for products that we have to announce before the product has authors assigned, and it often takes us a bit to update the website.

Nice, can't wait to see it, and I greatly hope we can see other organizations detailed too (hint, Hellknights and Riftwardens, hint) ;)
As a followup to my previous post... We try to create more than we can ever follow up on. In doing so, we're trying to leave significant portions of Golarion open for individual GMs to make their own. Hellknights, with the upcoming Cheliax AP, are going to get some extensive coverage during the Council of Theives Adventure Path, but Riftwardens don't yet have much on the schedule at all.

Off topic...
But if we're discussing the detailing of Hellknights and Riftwardens, I'd like to chime in for Magesmiths!
(As mentioned in RotFL)
Cross posted with James: I wager we'll never see magesmiths referenced again, but a guy can ask! You do have Magnimarian Golemworks to consider, so it might be a viable class...

I hope your office closure tomorrow doesn't result in my most recent delivery going off with no one there to see it.

We'll have the mailman forward any packages from you directly to Cosmo's house.

I'm hoping you'll all find this one worth the wait - especially since the delay means it will be a full Pathfinder RPG product. Paizo got some of the best to do the bulk of this book, I'm flattered I got to tag along for the rest :)

Honestly I wanted it OGL, not PFRPG, but I get the impression the difference isn't that significant.

I worked on a lot of rules-related material for the book, and most of what I turned over would work equivalently in either system.
SO cool, I just love the whole PF Society, I have yoinked it for my current 4E campaign, and will keep it when we swap to PFRPG once it is finished :-)
Aw :-( I was so sure we'd see a final cover for this one since Princes of Darkness and Sixfold Trial went live today. I guess that gives me something else to look forward to next week.

Seekers isn't quite out the door yet. ;)
Now is it out the door? It says it's expected next month, so I hope it is! And that we can see the cover! And that we can have the final back cover text! And for a million dollars?
