Announced for July! Cover image is a mockup and subject to change.
I do like those articles that expand beyond the adventure or what I like to call "the post game adventures".
Mike Shell FTW! I love everything he has done, and I'm excited to see what he can do with a final instalment. This should be good!
So I guess channel positive energy and taking Extra Channel feats repeatedly would make this a walk through, huh?
Does flying Piramids mean technology or does it mean magical and fantasy?

No were in the extra channel feat's description does it say it can be taken multiple times.
Flying pyramids are fantasy in real world regardless if they are powered by magic or technology.

And does that
As I usually figure it technomagic is a form of magic that uses technology to both simplify and either cheapen or enhance the magical output of a spell.
ex. Take a car, faster than a horse, which requires the power of gasoline in a combustion engine to work. Then use an arcane spell that causes the car to no longer need gas and is protected by magic and is enchanted to perform without need of maintenance.
Now on one hand a simple teleportation spell is cheaper, but add up the number of teleport spells used and compare it to the enchanted car, you use less arcane energy on the car overall compared to the constant usage of multiple teleportation spells over time. At the same time the downsides of the cars technology (constant need for fuel and maintainance, combine with damage repair bills) with an arcane powerboost that removes those downsides.
so my opinion is that while technology is the focus of the pyramid and shorey technology, it is the arcane energy that gives it the power to function.
(imagine a power plant which is powered by arcane energy instead of nuclear. energy efficient, replenishable, and powerful.)
This picture must have been the inspiration for the entire flying pyramid thing.
This looks promising.

I love Mike Shel Awesome!
But I am surprised, this is the first AP that I am aware of that Greg A. Vaughan did not write any of them.
That's true, but Greg's not completely gone form this AP - he wrote an article for Pathfinder #82 and he's doing a guest foreword for us, as well.
That would be creepy if the flying pyramids spoke French;)

But it would be awesome if the flying pyramids were Juggernauts! :D
Here's hoping its something reminiscent of the Stargate movie.
Product image and description updated to final!
The mummy walks...and talks... and dances.
"Walk like an Egyptian..."
Please no medium humanoid undead in the bestiary! If there is a new mummy monster please make it a monsterous version!

I hope that when the Sky Pharaohs mask back on him, he gets up and performs Steve Martins "King Tut". :)

So both #5 and #6 are coming out in July?
That's fairly typical for APs. They try to keep to 1 volume a month, but somewhere along the way they have delays or printer issues or... well, something that messes up the schedule, but the one thing that is an absolute MUST for Paizo is the GenCon releases, including the first volume of the new AP. Those come out the first day of GenCon, period. Doesn't matter what it takes or how many hours a week the team has to spend up at the office. IIRC the GenCon crunch is in May since they have to send it to the printer in China and ship it back to the US.
Anyone else get there "will be shipping soon" email?
Yup. :-)
