I love the old Land of Men with Tails modules from Dungeon, and hope we get all kinds of jungle fun.

That said, I must repeat a request I've made elsewhere before: Please, not another Heart of Darkness remake! After so many over the years, a remake of one of Bob Hope's Road to &SOMEWHERE would be preferable. If you need some real world inspiration, how about those Maya ruins United Fruit restored in between shuffling banana regimes? For inspirational reading set in jungle terrain, how about, say Call it Courage? Haiti's been in the news lately, how about some voodoo legends I've not heard of yet? Punch, National Geographic, Harper's, and The Atlantic are all really old; maybe they have some actual exploration accounts from 1870-1890. Just, please, something, anything, other than Joe Conrad again.

Perhaps we will see some "true" Azlanti living on land?

I take it that this overland journey is less likely to be up the Vanji to Whitebridge station, Nantambu, or Nightfall station, and thence overland, and more likely to be something like Eleder-Kalabuto-River of Lost Tears-Trail of Burstead Souls-Ocota River. Or is the eventual destination actually in the Screaming Jungle?

when can we see the cover art?

when can we see the cover art?

I expect sometime after the staff all get back from conquering Indianpolis and actually get some sleep.

The general rule for covers is one month before, with exception for big books like those in the RPG line, which get their beautiful Reynolds masterpieces put up as soon as Paizo can manage

Updated cover image and text to match final product.

Looks cool!

Who's the cover model this time? He looks like a bad@ss mix between Indiana Jones and Lemmy from Motorhead!

He's the leader for the Pathfinder expedition associated with the adventure. Coming up next volume, the leader of the Red Mantis expedition, followed by the leader of the Aspis Consortium expedition.

Ah, cool! I should have guessed since it looks like he's wearing an Adventurer's Sash.

Which group was the woman on the first cover associated with?

Arrr...

So, we're getting the leaders of the rival expeditions on the covers, it would seem. I wonder who the sixth cover image will be, then.

I hope that it's the main villain of the path. Or you know..

Not all the expeditions; the Sargavan Government misses out getting their expedition leader on the cover of the 5th part, because that part's reserved for...

As for who's going to be on the last cover...

Oh, very cool! I'll have to make sure my players will have

The PDF is not relased for sale until the street date, but subscibers (as I notice you are) get access to their free ones when the book is posted, which should be earlier.

Actually, the product schedule page estimates indicate when we expect to have completed shipping from our warehouse; retail release dates are generally set 2–3 weeks later. So subscribers should get the PDF when their print copy ships in mid-September, but the retail release date—and the date on which non-subscribers can purchase PDFs—is currently estimated for late September/early October.

As the schmuck who's probably going to be the one running this if it gets run I'm very glad to see someone I read about from earlier play a role in this path.

Ship already! Jeez.

Anyone have this yet?

Can't be long now.

We had a brief customs delay on this one, but it's been cleared... it should start shipping next week.

Was starting to wonder what had happened to the shipment.

I'm waiting for this to ship as well. Plus a catalog? OK, I'm intrigued

Ahem, so Vic this were you make you Subscribers happy add the PDF copy to thier downloads for the weekend? >.>

Ah. I was starting to wonder why it had been 'pending' for so long. Stupid customs. :(

I can't get my free pdf until it ships. Now granted for me the pdf is so I can get advance taste of the icing (i.e. the bestiary) but the first one was delicious!

Looks like the pdf was bumped back.

Weird.

Weird.

Customs delays cause ripple effects like that, alas.

So, I guess that's why, at least my order, has been dealyed.

Looks very interesting so far, need to give it another once over but getting a very strong Isle of Dread/Forbidden City/Raiders vibe - just wish Part 3 was larger.
Might poach some Forbidden City/Isle encounter to add, but it looks pretty good.

Edit:Damn, I think this is the first time I got a DL on the first day of release!

Is there some reason page 25 of the PDF (page number 23 of the book, but p. 25 factoring in the covers) is so slow to render? I mean, it will eventually display but both Acrobat Reader and PDF-XChange Viewer take almost a minute to completely render the page, but all of the others just pop up just as fast as normal.

Gah! people can download the pdf now??? I still havent got the my book has shipped mail unlocking it for me! nuuuuu!

What! I want my PDF! I cannot wait to read more on the race and the factions. I love this element of this AP.

Uh....only select subscribers getting to download this PDF or what?

The download comes up at the same time as Paizo ships your volume of the AP. They've only just started shipping out, so I guess it'll be a day or so until all the subscribers have the pdf.

Uh....only select subscribers getting to download this PDF or what?

Uh...no,...I had to wait eight days after the first release of the APG before I had access to my pdfs and I'm a subscriber.

This was the first time I got my pdf on the initial release day or was first to post on a product which was released.
On average my time to get access to my downloads is around 5 days after the first subscriber gets access to their pdfs.

Customs delays cause ripple effects like that, alas.

Alas!

Hopefully I can have this book in my possession by next week so that we can continue our Serpent's Skull game.

As of two hours ago, I got a shipping notification email and my PDF appeared in my downloads section, so trust me, it exists. :3

Just be sure to check your appropriate email in the next day or so.

Reading it, digging it, in awe of those epic dreads sported within the book(you know the ones I mean).

I've don't recall ever seeing a "rail" laid out quite like this one, but it really makes perfect sense as far as usability for a trek-based module. Wonder if we might see this formula pop up again(heck, if Jade Regent involves crossing the Crown of the World...)

After waiting through all the delays I was happy to see that this finally arrived in hardcopy yesterday. That's where the joy ended...

As I began reading the book I got to page 32 and was then taken to a page in the 60s. A page or two later I was in the 50s. Then a section repeated itself.

Guess I'll be e-mail CS about this printing and binding failure.

I have a similar issue with my copy. I sent the following to CS the other day:

Just received my copy of the above and was bummed to see that the slug for pages 33-48 is inverted, the color registration marks are visible, and hence, that truncates the "top" of the page (which is at the bottom). Looked at the PDFs in my downloads, and they appear to be ok.

After that set of pages, things are ok again. I _think_ everything is there, but haven't done a 1:1 check with the PDF.

I received a reply last night from CS. They're going to add a new copy to my next order...which ships in late October.

When I noticed Nyambe in the OGL section 15 (yes, I read that), I had high hopes that Paizo might put the open source Wakyambi elves in the Mwambi Expanse. Call me crazy, but I really like those crazy prehensile-tailed people.

I don't think those elves will ever exist except in MY Mwambi, but it's good to see the Pathfinder APs go further afield in OGL stuff than Tome of Horrors. Thanks!
