Do we know when preorder PDFs purchased through Paizo will be sent?

I can't say for sure, but given that their offices are closed today, I am guessing the Paizo preorder PDFs will ship tomorrow. Not sure we can summon a webstore gninja on her day off!

Curse you, bank holiday! I suppose I can't begrudge them a day off.

Congrats to the Kobolds!

Long awaited and most worthy of the anticipation.

I stayed up far too late browsing through the digital version despite having an early start the next day.

Oh, and Mead, the Further North PDF is now available at DTRPG, per your request.

Yay! Awesome! TY! So, now so I just don't spend for just that. I think I am going to have to also get... hmm.. The Ghoul country maybe?

Edit: Got those, and the two planar book stuff. I really got to learn to control my addiction.

No, don't stop there! Have you gotten Zobeck for Pathfinder? The Ennie-winning Streets of Zobeck? Do you know about the Journeys to the West book due out soon that will expand upon the western part of Midgard? Did you know that Kobold Quarterly includes Midgard material?

Buy more! Buy more! Lol! :)

Hm, the backer PDFs and Kobold Press store preorder PDFs have all gone out. :/

Send me a PM with your email or name, and I'll look into it.

Does this include those of us who backed Midgard Tales?

I've been waiting for this for a loooong time :)

I was referring to the Campaign Setting backers above, but yes, all Diabolist-tier backers and above for the Tales project also got a copy of the PDF code yesterday. Some went missing in spam filters etc: if that is you, please let me know!

So far, I have Zobeck gazetteer, Imperial Gazeteer, the planar books, the northlands books, and the setting. Next paycheck I will get more. :)

@Wolfgang - sent you a PM. Thanks.

Loving the classic style of the artwork!

How about a Print + PDF bundle for those that didn't preorder. $90 for book plus PDF is really steep.

Hey Unseelie, fortunately it is a Print+PDF bundle, both here and at the Kobold Store.

If you don't get the PDF with your print title something has gone wrong with the Paizo store.

Well this would explain why the people from paizo have not received it yet.

I have alerted the Store Gninja.

This should absolutely be considered for purchase. There are many settings that cry out for attention, but this one has a rich old world European with a generous helping of the strange and exotic. Its a quality, high production product from a 3PP who has, is, and will continue to support it.

It would make an excellent holiday gift for a GM or yourself!

May I ask what the "planar books" are?

It's Dark Roads & Golden Hells, by Dan Voyce, who is also the designer of the excellent Northlands book.

The second planar book is really a small PDF called Shadow Planes & Pocket Worlds.

Gninja has been notified. Print/PDF bundles are now available. (Also, it's very difficult to summon a gninja from their mountain bakery retreats.)

I've been really looking forward to this. One thing I'm really pleased about is the incantations we've worked into the setting-- it does a lot to make magic both more accessible and yet folksy. And the art is downright gorgeous. :D

-Ben.

Iam not sure whether this question belongs here or in the Compatible Products thread. Please place it where it belongs.

As I read through the book I notice the mention of Ley Line magic when it talks about figuring the DC of a spell enhanced with a Ley Line. here is my example:

To use a ley line you must make a caster level check as a free action
just prior to casting your spell. The DC of the check is 10 plus twice
the level of the spell being cast. So a 4th level spell would require a
DC 14 caster level check.

My question is shouldn't the DC for a caster level check for a 4th level spell be 18?

I could be wrong and possibly am. I would appreciate a clarification.

You are correct, and that is an error. Will fix in the errata.

I'm going to pick this book up along with a sixer of ale and say goodbye to the real world for a few hours.

And for pity's sake, don't buy your booze from gnomes!

Just downloaded my copy, and felt compelled to post that this is the most beautifully presented Kobold Press product I've seen. The borders, heading fonts, colour schemes and illustrations (not to mention the maps!) bring the subject matter to vivid life.

Great work! Looking forward to the hard copy :)

Thank you, Mr. Baur, for your quick response. I appreciate what you put into your products.

Thank you, Littlehewy, and I agree that this is a step up for Kobold Press both for the lavish color, art, and design.

The hard copy is truly marvelous as well. I sent a review copy to the gnomes, because taunting gnomes is always entertaining.

Out of curiousity. Is there going to ever be an expansion detailing Far Cathay, Sikkim, Beldestan and Khandiria? Or the Southlands?

Good question. There has been some talk about doing the Southlands, including Nurian godsworn magic, lotus magic, the desert tribes, the sandships of Siwal, the Spider Prophet, and the like. Very pulpy and playable.

Sikkim, Beldestan, and Khandiria.... No plans right now. If someone has a great brainstorm for them, that can always change.

I have to admit, pulpy would be cool. There could be a Gearforged Indiana Jones. Without aliens....

I would love to see Wolfgang tackle the Southlands!!!!!

Yeah; I've backed off any kickstarters lately, because if (when!) a Southlands kickstarter comes along, I'm on it at as high a level as the wife will tolerate.

We've been huge fans of the Old Margrave eldritch forest, and have unofficially incorporated it into the wilds of Varisia for our Pathfinder adventures. It's thrilling to finally see the new campaign setting come to market. My only regret is that I can't justify taking a week off work to pour over the book ...

Well done, everyone who helped bring this project to life.

I see there is a video out showing some more of the art,and this link discuss the contents and the launch party.

Here for the safe for work article and video

Downloaded this Campaign Setting and have to say it is a beautiful piece of work. Between this and Cerulean Seas, they are probably the two best campaign setting books I think I've seen.

Compliments aside, I am looking at the Ley Line section and there are a couple of abbreviations I don't understand in the Ley Line Effects. CAF and ISM. All the rest of them I get.

I've been looking for a good implementation of ley lines, and between this and Monte Cook's Earthblood option they actually cover all the things that I want ley lines to do.

Thanks.

@Sethvir,
I figure ISM would be Inner Sea Magic, but I have no clue as to what CAF means.

We've got something else in the pipeline ref ley lines for Kobold Press, so be on the lookout in the next few months.

Will Ley Lines connect at Nodes? I enjoy reading Mercedes Lackey's books of Valdemar that have magical Nodes that can supply spell casters with additional power.

@Sethvir,

I figure ISM would be Inner Sea Magic, but I have no clue as to what CAF means.

Ahh! That makes sense. Had been looking at it since last night and was just drawing a complete blank.

@Christina
Great! Look forward to that then.

Still only see blank pages when trying to read the race-sections. :(

What are you using to read it, just out of curiosity.

@Sethvir,

After a little more research, I believe I have located it. Complete Advanced Feats from Open Design/Kobold Press.

After checking the list of feats against the contents of Complete Advanced Feats I concur, CAF can only be Complete Advanced Feats.

Would have been less confusing to have that referenced in the book though. Unless I missed the reference.

Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.4. The latest edition.

Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.4. The latest edition.

I installed 10 when it came out and then I was having some compatibility issues with a couple of other things I use, so I went back to 9.4.0 and not having any issues reading it.

Yeah, but honestly, it's the standard and I don't necessarily want to downgrade my reader again. :-/

I downloaded adobe reader x and haven't had any trouble with it.

Hm, would love to have a screenshot or something to help track this down. Thanks for the report, EZG!

I will repeat myself:

HUZZAH! Welcome Kobold Press!

This book is beautiful; I will cherish my signed patron copy!

It was well worth the two-year wait...

-That One Digitalelf Fellow-

I have to agree with what the others are saying here; this is a beautiful and inspiring book. In so many ways, this was the campaign setting that I had been looking for since I first made the change into Third Edition. It takes advantage of many features of 3E+, especially and including the new stuff in PF, without deviating from the expected norms for the game. It innovates where it should and leaves the core assumptions in place. This makes it a useful setting for new players and a handy tool for GMs, even if they only want to mine it for their own setting.

There are a LOT of good ideas here. The flavor details are sophisticated and intelligent, without being overwhelming. I have been excited about this product from the very beginning (Patron), but I am a more than satisfied customer. This is one of the finest products I own, and I am excited to play with all my new toys.
