Woohoo! I'm hoping for Golarion's take on the mercanes (my current favourite SRD creature).
I enjoyed Secrets of Xen'drik, and I have high hopes for this book!

I can't wait for this one! I'm guessing it's chock-full of little morsels that'll fire the imagination!

Ha! I love this cover! More like this, please!
I'm guessing this is temporary, since that was the image used for the Slums map pack.
I really do like that image though.

More like that, please! Say, maybe on the Guide to Katapesh?

The cover is up on the blog but the link to the full-size version is broken :( any chance it could be corrected so I can admire it in it's full glory?
[EDIT] Aha! Through my mighty deductive skills (hah) I found the cover here, and very snazzy it is too.

Still not working for me. I was a bit surprised to see that it isn't a Reynolds cover as I thought he did the Chronicles covers. Oh well, I must've missed that memo. :D

Sweet cover!! Same artist that does the item cards? Love the Gnoll.

But does it have a Troll Market?
Honestly, when I saw that on the Hellboy 2 DVD, my first thought was "Katapesh".

That is one SWEET cover! I love the action, and even the "Battlefield Earth" angled shot is working. Plus, I didn't know the cleric was a dual-wielding "Crouching Tiger" type fighter! Man I want this book!

She isn't. She's just doing something that looks cool at the cost of a lot of minuses on her To Hit roll.

i agree with Sean... style goes a long way with me:D
and a decently buffed cleric shouldn't have so much penalties
also... Saranrae Clerics are know for their skilled derbish... who is not to say that Kyra took the rpestigue class and know she is a two-dual wielding cleric bringing pain to the evil doers and awesome art to our covers? :D

Is it March yet? When will it be March!?!
Assuming there are no unforeseen delays in customs, we expect March to arrive shortly after February concludes.

Ooh, can't wait. I'm absolutely loving the A Guide To series. Will this have an awesome map of the city like in the Guide to Korvosa?

There's no poster map in Dark Markets. The map of the city of Katapesh is a full-page map.

Does this by any chance have bartering rules?

Nope. Game time at the table is too precious to spend trying to get an extra 5% profit on junk you're selling. ;)

That's it. I'm finding a new game where I can be as thrifty and miserly as I am in real life!

There's a map of Katapesh the city and Katapesh the country, yes. Although there's not an awful lot of details on the regional map of Katapesh, since so much of it is either desert or savannah.

So, is this now an April release or will it still be coming out about the same time as PF#20?

It didn't make the boat with #20, so it will be an April release.

Man. Those boats from China sure do seem, um, slow.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Really looking forward to this one too!

The product blurb reads like it's more about Katapesh the city than Katapesh the country. If I'm correct, where would I go to find out more about the nomadic tribes of Katapesh?

The chapter on the country of Katapesh is about the same length as the one about the main city. The country section talks about the gnoll and jann nomadic tribes that live in the wildlands—however, the LOF AP has much more info on the gnoll tribes than [iDark Markets[/i] does.

Ha! And I thought I was a cunning ******* for coming up with a wealthy merchant nation run by "alien" masters (the Mercane) specializing in magic item trade (this was for my homebrewed setting). Seems like others have come up with the same idea... :)

The Fritz Leiber short story, "Bazzar of the Bizarre" (from which Katapesh borrows its nickname) has a pretty similar setup as well...

Now that you mention it, it does... maybe that's where I got the idea, too! You know, it's been nearly ten years since I last read it -- maybe it's time revisit Lankhmar again! :)
When I read all Vance's 'Dying Earth' -stories, I blatantly and consciously stole some ideas from them as well, but now I'm dropping the homebrewed setting because I've got so much good stuff for Golarion! :)
(BTW, James, it's nice that you guys placed 'Castle Odranto' in Ustalav... a great way to give a nod towards Walpole's gothic horror classic!)
