This will be a nice addition for games set in Varisia.

Holy s!%%! This is awesome!

I had wanted to try to find more information on Kaer Maga. I guess it just goes to show be careful what you ask for because you may get it. Thanks Paizo for some outstanding products.

Just my 2 cp.

Glee! This will be awesome for use with Crimson Throne ::rubbing hands together and making evil GM cackling noises::

A little nit pick about the descriptive text:
"In the outcast city of Kaer Maga, your business is your own, and no ware is too dangerous or taboo to find a buyer."

It's Ware as in "item for sale" not ware as in "nowhere"

Wow, cool! Thanks for doing a book on Kaer Maga! I remember asking for this again and again during the chats and now it finally will see the light of day. Thanks Paizo, you guys are awesome!

Damn, wish it was out while I'm running RotRL ! Still, it means there will be Kaer Maga sidetrek in my CotCT game :)

Thanks Paizo, Kaer Maga was quite in dire need of a solid writeup ! Hope that Janderhoff follows :)

It's good we have the write up because when I read the title I keep picturing a city where everyone keeps going:

"Do I know you?"

"You're sure we've never met?"

"I think I live next door to that guy, but I'm not quite sure."

Oh, and I just realised that Mr. Sutter will write the book! Even better! He's an expert on the topic of this awesome city! I can't wait to see the final book.

Why-o-why give us tantalizing teazers to wait 8 months for? Now that it is announced, I must have it!

This would have been great to have... two years ago. Now... I mean, yeah, I'll definitely be happy to get my mits on it, but it's just far too long in coming.

The party's Wizard: "We will find an alternate route!" ;PPPP

Janderhoff is in need of a solid Adventure Path! :)

Oh I agree it is painful to wait this long, but I would rather them post this stuff up so I know what to look forward to.

Hell Yea!!!!

Wow, guys! Glad to see everyone is still excited about this. :)

One of the reasons the book is coming out now rather than a year ago is that, in accordance with our new staff policy regarding personal projects, the book was completed in its entirety before it was announced. Kaer Maga's been my baby since its invention for Seven Swords of Sin and Pathfinder #3, so I'm thrilled that it's finally going to see a book of it's own.

I hope you all enjoy it!

Huzzah! This is going to be awesome!

Just as long as it has a Cantina, the description just scream Mos Eislee.

Wow! So this is already written? That's great. I assume that means it isn't at as high a risk of being delayed due to production complications down the line, since it's so far ahead of schedule?

not really...

Writing happens outside of work hours. Our current delays were, for the most part, not the fault of the authors but the result of us having to rob development and editing time from those projects and use that time on the rulebooks.

Huzzah !

HA!

The phrase "and no ware is too dangerous or taboo" just sounds... like it should be wrong but isn't... hmm

It's probably a deliberate pun.

Dude, Kaer Maga is the Mos Eisley cantina. :D

While Jacobs is of course correct that numerous other factors affect book delays more than author turnover... that is the hope, yeah.

Awe. Some.

I already know which city in the Forgotten Realms I will include this as.

I was looking at the cover. I know it is a mock up. but my first thought was poor girl. Hope she isn't in a anima

Wow. Of all the new Paizo products that have just been announced, this is definitely the one I'm most looking forward to. I love "monster cities" like James Jacobs' Scuttlecove, and am especially looking forward to the bloatmage PrC. I've wanted to see those guys since Eando Kline met one in the Pathfinder fiction.

A little nit pick about the descriptive text:

"In the outcast city of Kaer Maga, your business is your own, and no ware is too dangerous or taboo to find a buyer."

I was wondering it if dealt with Tupperware. Some of that can be quite dangerous and foul.

*Does the dance of joy*

Thank you so much, Paizo.

Wow, one of the last cities in Varisia I expected to get it's own book, I'm surprised but pleasantly so. Look forward to seeing it.

I cannot wait to run this. Second Darkness, CotCT, hell yeah!

The Seven Swords of Sin module still causes my players to scream when I put little dinosaur figs on the battlemat.

This is so cool I remember asking for this book a few years ago glad to see it finally gets made

The whole bloatmage thing makes me wonder if there are less-successful / lesser-practiced magical traditions based on the other bodily humors, or on precise balances of the four humors, or on the elusive search for a speculative fifth humor...

I recently completed a set of critters based on the four humors, but I'm unsure where they will end up.

The idea of different magical traditions based on the humors would be awesome, however. Cool idea, Set.

There's an article on that idea (Medieval Medicine) by Phillip Larwood in Issue 8 of Kobold Quarterly.

Good call, Paul. I forgot about that one.

Ive been waiting for this books since the begining of Rise of the Runelords when I purchased 7 Swords of Sin

sounds like my kind of town

I dunno, blood is the 'coolest' of the humours, anyway. A bile mage sounds a little funky, and who the heck wants to play a phelgm mage?

Phlegm Mage - "I cast Melf's Acid Booger!"

Standard Sorceress - "I throw up a little in my mouth..."

Bile mage - "Oh, I can probably use that as a component!"

Huzzah! This is going to be awesome!

How have I missed this? I agree -- this is going an awesome product, and definitely a must-buy for all Golarion GMs! :)

Awe. Some.

I already know which city in the Forgotten Realms I will include this as.

Ruins of Zhentil Keep?

Now, since we have Kaer Maga book over a year after the Varisian Trilogy, can we pretty please have a similar book for Westcrown ? :)

This is super news, can't wait to delve into this one!

nice

Now we know why Kear Maga didn't make it into Cites of Golarion. And I'm glad it didn't, I can't wait to get my hands on this book.

Will this also contain a map of the city?

No. Zhentil Keep has long since been detailed and mapped.

This is going to become the city of Three Swords, in the Shining South, sitting on the edge of the Landrise.
