Finally Magnimar! Whoo-boy, and it's written by Daigle & Jacobs (TM)! (not to be confused with the infamous duo of medieval highwayman bearing the same name) :)
I can't wait for this one...

I can always use some world building material and I like information on monsters, culrues, sights to see, etc. so of course I will be getting this one.

About time! With how slowly my RotRL game has been going it will be out by the time they get to Magnimar.

I wanted this book after having read Skin Saw Murders for the first time oh so long ago. I even said as much back then a couple of times.
I'm pretty happy to see it. (I knew you guys would eventually release it, it's just too cool not to.)

Nice. This will go well with the Korvosa & Kaer Maga books I already have. Now all we need is a Riddleport book and all 4 of Varisia's city states will have been covered.

I second this. I'd love to see a book covering Riddleport as well; heck, an updated and expanded gazetteer of Varisia would delight me.

Yes, a Riddleport book would be awesome... Great idea.

Happy to see this; I'm currently running a game set in Magnimar, exploring the Irespan. Having extra material for the game in July will be useful (be better if it were NOW, but I can't have everything, I guess *sniff*.)

Nice! I haven't seen a big city book since Kaer Maga - "City of Strangers", which I luv muchly - so I welcome this new one to add to the collection :-)

I too have been running a campaign in Magnimar. I always seem to be too early to the party. This would have been very useful. I wish I had started the campaign a year later. *weeps in beer* At least it is Guiness.
Later,

Don't forget Janderhoff and Urglin.

*sigh* this book will be coming out just as my party will be leaving Magnimar.
But I'll be buying it anyway!

I'm just hoping this has SOME information on the GolemWorks factory. Been wanting this ever since.

There will indeed be some info on the Golemworks. Including a new construct and the properties of Irespan stone for building golems!

I delight in the GolemWorks news too!
I'm right there with you on that, good sir! The Golemworks actually factors in quite heavily with the RotR campaign I'm running right now (which we only play about once a month), so I'm incredibly psyched about this!

In the "managing expectations" category... I'll note that there's actually NOT a huge amount of information about the Golemworks in the book—there's more than we've ever published before, but there's a LOT more than Golemworks going on in Magnimar that we need to cover.
Just peeked at the entry for the Golemworks itself. It's 411 words long, which is one of the longer gazetteer entries in the book. Stuff like the new construct and the Irespan qualities are NOT included in that 411 words, though... so there's more than just a half page of info about the Golemworks in all.
Not a heck of a lot of crunch though. We aren't doing an entry for the Golemworks as a school like what we did in Inner Sea Magic, for example.

After seeing it mentioned elsewhere, how much info is probably going to be here for the Empyreal Lords? Will it be an exploration of the Empyreals we know about already, a reveal of other Empytreals, etc?
Been wanting more on those guys for a long time, and I was surprised to hear that they were going to get a boost in the Magnimar book of all places! :)

It's still better than a fleeting reference though! We didn't know if it was ever going to see the light of day.
Case in point: the magesmiths of Janderhoff(?)
Those poor suckers got mentioned along with the hellknights, but they just never caught fire like the hellknights did. (Pun unintentional)
So 411 with a small side order of crunch doesn't sound bad at all. Consider my expectations managed! :D

There's a sidebar (about 300 words) that presents details on 3 new empyreal lords who are among the six worshiped in Magnimar. The empyreal lords have an influence throughout Magnimar, so there'll be bits and pieces of stuff about them woven into the entire book here and there—often pretty subtly, but often not. The bestiary will include a new azata, and will include stats for a "mystery cultist" who is a worshiper of one of the empyreal lords.
Since the concept of empyreal lords was first introduced in Pathfinder #2's article about Magnimar, and since there's angel stuff woven into the deep history of the city, it made sense to me to explore the concept further in this book.

If you're not running the relevant adventure paths why Magnimar, why this book? Why would someone choose this city book over another?
Thanks

The vast majority of the "adventure hooks" in this book are NOT for an established Adventure Path. AKA: If you want to build your own urban campaign, Magnimar can serve as the baseline for that campaign.

You've just inspired me to insert a Daigle & Jacobs NPC duo in all my games (like Final Fantasy's Biggs and Wedge, themselves inspired from Star Wars)…
