Rysky's gonna be excited about this! :D
This looks good! :)
And I predict a Campaign Setting sourcebook for Qadira in the same general time frame, to follow suit with the other regional Player Companions which have now been updated to CS format (Osirion, the upcoming Andoran one, and probably one on Cheliax for the Hell's Rebel AP). So all that we would be missing from the original five country books would be Taldor.

The Carrion Crown that sits on Carrion Hill sends out a Carrion Call to the Carrion King... not to be confused with The Vulture King of course.

LOOOOOOOGUUUEEE!!
The general consensus on the boards is that level 11 is when Pathfinder gets into the "math breaks down" part of the game. You know, the part where people complain about the gameplay slowing down because of all the countless modifiers and variables, where full casters start to show their true power, and no matter how many hit points everyone has they always seem to get one or two shotted?
Here's hoping Paizo is writing this as a legit high-level experience, not a cakewalk filled with breezy encounters and an anticlimactic boss battle.
Somehow my first thought was: Oh, cool, divs!

Hehe. Was going to post something similar remembering the rumblings about "carrion" in the Carrion Crown AP foreword...

With Nic Logue as author, I don't see that happening. Looking forward to this one!

I'll be keeping my eyes on this one, especially if it gets sanctioned for PFS.
I'm not experienced with high-level play, as my highest PFS character is just one game into 11th level, and he's a ranger (so not very complicated to play at all). But I'd love more options as he gets close to the end for scenarios.
And I don't know about high-level math, but I talked to one of our local GM's who has been running the high-level modules for our local group, and she's getting burned out due to the slower gameplay and lack of challenge for the PC's. Here's hoping this one provides everyone a more positive experience!

I'm so pleased this is coming out soon! James Jacobs very kindly let me go crazy on this one, and a-crazy-I-did-go!
Can't wait to see the magic Owen and the whole crew work to make it even more demented and delicious for you all!
Thanks everyone for the shout-outs too! I've missed making modules happen, and I've missed these lovely boards, and their many delightful denizens. Paizo and her fans are some of the finest creatures to grace this earth with their dice-prints!
I know the cover is just a mock-up, but it appeals to me somehow...

Nicolas, your penmanship often adds to my dead-character tree. Thank you, kindly, Sir!
I'd thought Carrion was off the menu after Carrion Crown, which of course went through Carrion Hill, and most likely had its fair share of Carrion Golems;-p
I'm still waiting for the breakfast cereal Crunchy Carrion (now with 50% more eyeballs!) as well as Carrion Grrrls, the doll line :-p
Don't believe anyone has p[ointed this out yet but the description says it is for 11th level characters while the module cover says for 12th level characters.
Which is it?
I would go by the cover and assume for 12th level characters and a silly person wrote the wrong level in the description. I demand to know the culprit! ;)
Will it be multiple levels as the other current modules, and is the finishing level known yet?

DAEMONS!! More DAEMONS!
The description of the Vulture King reminds me of Tash.
Huh - I see the Vulture King (Rasvocel?) as being an infernal duke. Did he switch to daemon-kind?
Interesting.
Could be - Paizo does switch stuff up on us sometimes.I'd guess that it's more likely the fact that Paizo tends to reuse relatively simple naming conventions (winter witch archtype, winter witch prc ; skald language, skald class ; the Storm King in Wrath of the Righteous , the Storm Tyrant in Giantslayer ; etc.) and it's probably a relatively unknown daemonic deacon or harbinger like Mneoc, but serving Trelmarixian.

The dog ate my homework.
This is frustrating. The GM of my weekly game had been planning on working this into our campaign. We are currently in Qadira and 10th level, so it would be perfect. But we've now been holding back for a few months, and we aren't waiting any longer. I believe he's canceling his pre-order.

The old modules were much better and on time too. I would seriously consider a return to the smaller format maybe with the inclusion of a poster or a battle map product that supports the adventure.
With the exclusion of "The Dragon´s Demand" and to a certain extend "Plunder & Peril" none of the 64 page modules were really good.
The 32 pages modules on the other hand are mostly good with only very few exceptions.
I think it takes too much time for someone new to the industry to finish 64 pages.

I agree. Even an experienced writer, as Mr. Logue is, seems to be having trouble with this format (though I have no evidence that the problem with the module is at all on his end... it could be an editing problem or art troubles or something else entirely).
Were editors pulled from the modules line to work on other projects?
Keep in mind that the modules line was notoriously behind schedule even before the switch to the longer format. Switching to fewer, longer modules was even given as a strategy to reduce the common delays.
It just seems to be the lowest priority among Paizo's product lines.

I'm wondering if Paizo will abandon the Modules line and leave it up to 3PPs to fill in this "middle length adventure" niche in the gaming market, or if they will just direct everyone to the shorter Pathfinder Society adventures, which aren't really my first choice.
I dunno...from a business standpoint the modules are a pretty good way of testing the waters for products that may be considered risky, or catering to demands of folks that want a certain type of adventure for which there is no room on the schedule to do anytime soon.
