In the outcast city of Kaer Maga, your business is your own, and no ware is too dangerous or taboo to find a buyer. Within the walls of the ancient, ruined fortress, refugees and criminals from every nation disappear into the crowds of gangs and monsters. Leech-covered bloatmages haggle with Sweettalkers—religious zealots who sew their own lips shut—while naga crime lords squeeze self-mutilating troll prophets for protection money. And these are just the residents, not the fearsome beasts barely contained in the mysterious dungeons beneath the streets, held at bay by the elite rangers known as the Duskwardens. Welcome to the City of Strangers, a haven of freedom and independence for all—presuming you survive.
Inside this comprehensive, 64-page sourcebook you’ll find everything you need to know about running a game in Kaer Maga, including:
- Information and notable locations for all 11 districts, from the fabled Balconies of Bis to the necromantic paradise of Ankar-Te.
- A history of the city, and the bizarre ruined monument that houses it.
- Details on the countless gangs and factions within the city, and how they interact with each other.
- The bloatmage prestige class, in which spellcasters use their own blood to empower their spells—but at a terrible price.
- New monsters, magic items, and feats.
- A layer-by-layer guide to the dungeons beneath the city, and the echoes of lost races and magic that still guard them.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
