Along with Pathfinder Beta, this Adventure Path is bringing me back to Paizo. I didn't enjoy rise of the Runelords because of the inbred incestous rapist ogres and stopped at PF 4. But this new Pathfinder direction sounds more interesting to me.
And with Pathfinder the new rules handling the next AP, I'll probably stay even if the devils are fairly gross in the adventures.
You are such a pre-madonna Rob! Congrats looking forward to this one!!!
It just that I thought wood was hard for Efreeti to come by.

Wow! That cover rocks! Who did the portrait of the efreet I'm assuming is Prince Jhavul?
What Yoda said for the artist. As for the efreet... he's pretty much just an efreet. He can certainly do for Jhavhul's appearance, but since the cover art came in relatively late and we thus couldn't use it as a model for the interior art for Jhavhul... he looks relatively different from the Jhavhul we illustrate inside the adventure. So pick and choose, I guess, which one you want; the official line is that the cover efreeti is merely just one of many efreet the PCs are going to fight in "The Final Wish."

What's actually curious about this is that the fighter in the picture with Seoni looks like the OLD Dungeon Magazine Iconic fighter, the one with the blue tunic and breastplate looking guy. Sword and shield ...
Was that on purpose or is that someone else?
I think the "fighter" in the picture is actually Kyra, who for some reason found a shield to use in that fight.

If so, stick with that artist, as they follow text direction well. I'm sure I've seen Kyra stated up with a shield more than once.

Hey McCreary,
Who knew your little adventure was appearing beside my amazingly magnifico ginormous set piece? :^)
Seriously, my man, it's downright cool to be in your piece. Can't wait for this to come out!
- Lou
I certainly didn't know! Just another thing to look forward to when this thing comes out (and after the three weeks or so shipping to the Czech Republic! :( Grrr!)
Seriously, looking forward to seeing your set piece, Lou! :)

It's even a longer shipping time for me here (Finland), because I've ordered them via my FLGS... (just to show them that they should stock Paizo's APs).
Are we close enough to late July yet? It feels late. Just looking forward to seeing this issue.

I'm wondering what the ETA is for this too (my first AP volume). I tied another big order to this one to minimize shipping costs, and since this is my first issue, I wasn't sure what the "usual" time of the month was for these to ship (now that we're officially in July).

This is slated to ship in late July. I just get excited about the latest issue that is coming out, so I'm hoping it might be released a bit early.
You can check the Product Release Schedule from the main page. Otherwise there is'nt really a "usual" time that I can tell. Sometimes Paizo gets ahead of schedule and can release things a bit early. At worst, they get multiple shipments stuck in customs.
By the way, I hope you enjoy it too.

Here's a link to the Product Schedule (if I figured out how to make a link).

Here's a link to the Product Schedule (if I figured out how to make a link).
Based on Gray's handy handy linkification there, I was able to confirm that this is still set for "late July." Seeing as this is a 31 day month, that means that, technically noon today was the middle point. So how far from tomorrow is "late", in your estimation (which can obviously be offset be shipping problems and customs and weather and alien invasions and pets getting sick and stubbing your toe and minor paranormal occurrences in your closet at night and escapes at local insane asylums and Sean seeing a cute girl and needing to write a haiku and cookies and major cataclysms in the very fiber of the cosmos and bathroom breaks and some other stuff that I shan't mention for space conservation reasons)?
As far as I am aware, this is still on track for a release toward the end of July. However, that's not exactly my area of expertise, so I'll see if I can get a more specific answer for folks tomorrow.
Personally i consider "late" to be exactly 1 min after I just finished reading the last AP book.
Same here. And the feeling only gets worse as the release time gets closer.
Love the cover art, but I thought the "what you wished for" link would go to the corrupted wishes game page. Definately interested for this one to grace my mailbox.

Who's the cool looking evil guy on the cover?
The cover guy is an efreeti. The intent was to have him be the main bad guy of the AP, but he ended up looking a little different than he does on the inside in the adventure's art, but if that doesn't bother you, then the cover guy is Jhavhul.
I'm really looking forward to this one. It's got Rob's big AP-ending adventure, Lou's the-very-last-set-piece, Boomer's insights into Rovagug, Wolfgang's examination of wish magic, AND Elaine's final chapter of Channa Ti. What's not to love?
My two-cents,
--Neil
Not me! I hope it never comes!
Hmmm, let's see;
They get some interns, have interns do work, interns leave,.....
Uh Oh
Is that a wooden sheild he's sporting?!
Ironwood. Doesn't burn.
It just that I thought wood was hard for Efreeti to come by.
It is. Very hard to come by. It's a designer shield. Nothing impresses the ladies like a show of wealth, and a wooden shield that doesn't burn owned by a fire genie? Oh yeah, the ladies go for that.
=====================================================
Either that or he just had his shield fashioned to look like wood because wood is an exotic pattern in the City of Brass? It's actually steel with a wood-grain pattern.
I like the ironwood explanation better though.
