Finally Pathfinderized! But will it make our previous one obsolete?

Don't know about obsolete, but it looks to be much longer than the current 255-pager.
It would be interesting to know if they're doing any "advancing the timeline" stuff - I think I recall them saying "we'll never do that" but I'm not sure...

"World Guide: The Inner Sea" sounds like "More volumes forthcoming!"
Cool!

This one will not obsolete the first printing; it'll expand on it. In some cases, material in the first printing might not appear in this new version, or might be less detailed... but my goal in preparing this book is to add and expand, not overwrite.
It will advance the timeline by a couple of years, but won't assume any of the modules or Adventure Paths have taken place. You'll still be able to use this book as your campaign book to start, say, Rise of the Runelords or Curse of the Crimson Throne.

Alkenstar isn't going anywhere. Well... it's going to a section entitled "Mana Wastes" and that section is getting 4 pages to cover the Mana Wastes and Alkenstar and everything else going on there. But it'll still be in the book.

I know, James. But I can't help but be a petulant child until Mana Wastes / Alkenstar gets their own Chronicles love. But at least I'm getting my halfings. ;)

James, will the cover stay the same, or are you going to replace it with new art?

It's getting a new cover by Wayne. The book's going to look VERY different than the current one.

Awesome! :) Not that I didn't love the "old" cover, but it's more convenient that way (and I also want to see what Wayne comes up with).

WOW!
This is most AWESOME indeed. And I like the "World Guide" tag, and as someone else mentioned (and JJ commented on) sounds like an open invite to have additional World Guides for other regions). WOOT!

Rather World Guide: Tian Xia for when Jade Serpent gets up and running, and World Guide: Casmaron would be awesome!

I'm happy to see this updated to the PFRPG, but I'm also wondering what the extra 64 pages of materials will be, mainly Fluff or Crunch?

Be glad that might have been the last copy of the old one they needed to sell to make the new one. So you might be the reason we are getting one.

Don't be too distressed. Owning both will have its advantages.

Sweet. I was just re-reading parts of the campaign setting and the excellent Gazetteer a couple of nights ago, and am looking forward to this revisit.
That said, I'm not sure if it's a good thing that it is not aiming to make the previous book obsolete..I'd prefer one stop shopping, not to mention knowing for sure which of the crunch options in the original book are intended to be part of PFRPG and which were just meant to last through the end of 3.5.

I sure am looking forward to all forthcoming world guides. As a matter of fact, the organizational layout is what I have been looking for! When I get around to doing a world guide for Sarunia, it will follow the same format.

I am not really upset, just more of a kinda "it figs' reaction. I do not regret buying the book as so far of what I have read its a setting I would love to play around in.

I do not use PDF's nor do I like to read from them. Just not a product I find all that useful. The 10 buck price point is very nice however

Personally, even if it *DOES* hurt my wallet (and regardless of the fact that I own the "old" CS), I see this book as a worthy investment! :)

Over in the announcement for all the Pathfinder Chronicles products being released, down in that section of the boards.

Wonderful news. I can't get enough of the current version so more content is just awesome.

Any "rules" elements we want to keep from 3.5 that currently appear in the hardcover will end up in either the Advanced Player's Guide (in the case of general stuff that doesn't really belong in the campaign setting book) or in the revised campaign setting book (in the case of stuff like the "regional" feats, etc.)

The new book will also include _new_ rules items, of course.

Good! I'm getting sick of the same old rectangular books. It's about time you guys went with triangles or circles.

Nothing that simple -- I want some warhammer- or battle axe-shaped books!

Uh may be a bit of an odd question but I would imagine you would be dropping pathfinder chronicler from this book? (since it is in the main rule book now)

It's still in the Pathfinder Chronicles line; it's not in the main rulebook line despite the fact that it's a hardcover.

Sorry I meant the prestige class not the line the book is in.
