Speaking of that cover, I still want to buy a clean/textless print of this one.
I've got my fingers crossed that this wraps around onto the back cover.

Is there a landscape version of this cover? I would love to have it as a Wallpaper for my computer.

Seconded. The cover is beautiful.

Sold.
I think for many, this book seems a little late coming. So many of us have moved on from Core and would like future releases to include all options currently available.
It'll still be an excellent resource.
Looking forward to NPC Codex II!

It should wrap around to the back side. If you buy the PDF, you can save the page its on to use for your computer wallpaper or something. I have a spread photo from Carrion Crown as my wallpaper currently :)

The original cover illustration is proportioned exactly as you see it; it's not a wraparound.

It is! The fact that it's just as big as you see it doesn't make it any less so! It's so awesome that we actually ended up putting all of those characters into the book.

Awesome, because that gnome's hat and moustache are too good to only use once. :D

I know this is still epic in proportion, I have always been a fan of the tavern scene. Just because it's not landscape doesn't mean I think badly of it.

This being in the world-neutral line, any NPCs from Golarion are highly unlikely.

How are they gonna make it world-neutral with divine-based NPC's in this manual? I mean, a cleric has to have a deity in order to have specific domains yes?

Deities are featured in the Core Rulebook. These deities may have a place in the Pathfinder campaign setting as well, but the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and the products specific to that line of products (Core Rulebook, Advanced Player's Guide, etc.) are considered to be setting-neutral. You'll note that there's no setting-specific fluff related to the deities in the Core Rulebook. In fact, the word "Golarion" is mentioned once in the entire book, in Apendix 4: Game Aids, specifically in the paragraph concerning the Pathfinder Campaign Setting line of products.

I also thought that the deities in the core rule book were given as examples and that each GM setting might or might not have thoose deities available.

This is true daniel, but in the case of divine NPCs in the Codex I'm sure you can easily sub out Golarian gods with whichever pantheon you want to use.

The book will include deities for appropriate characters, the PRD will not (because the deity names aren't Open content), but by looking at a character's alignment, description, and domains in the PRD, I'm sure you can figure out which deity he or she worships.

The Thornkeep PDF references the NPC Codex for an enemy in one of the dungeons, and I have 3 weeks to wait to see what the stats are on it.
Life is so unfair.

My Agreement is resounding. However, you could restat your own version, or pull one from the GMG.

This codex, and any further in this product line, are going to be world neutral (with the exception of deity names, I think). Typically they keep the hardcover rulebooks world neutral so people who don't play in Golarion can get the most out of them.

Quick "managing expectations" question(right before release, I know):
Are all of the NPCs in the book straight-classed or are there some multiclassed examples available?
Just been really curious about a monk/bard "dance battler" mix for a while now.

Yep. I'd honestly expect plenty of NPCs in this setting neutral book to have that sort of RL regional flavor already. I doubt the cultural flavor is going to be confined to ISR-ish cultures alone(and to be honest, the ISR has a wide cultural range already, it's not just Avistan all the time!)

It is my understanding that we won't see any multiclassing in this book.

The prestige class characters are multiclassed, but the others are all single-classed.

Rather, the halfling sitting in the railing on the right-center of the cover that is... xD

The book is pretty much fantastic. Tons of dwarves, halflings, elves, and I really enjoy that the stat blocks themselves don't dip into any-- that I saw-- archetypes. It's really cut and dry and excellent. Will be of great use!
Another thing I really liked was that, for everything except for the fighter, who was odd, every 20th level NPC bought right into the character you'd imagine they'd be. There's no weird concept 20th level characters-- even the fighter, who is odd, is a two-handed fighter with some miscellaneous feats and options.

Hell ya. And some...*ahem* generic NPCs that tie to the themes in those books.
