I'm pretty sure this might be a free PDF but only because I like the idea.

Well, the PDF of the associated map is free.
:(
Unavailable
Set in Brevoy? Hmmm, will have to pick this one up.
The product description also doesn't say whether this is part of the Modules subscription or not...
I'm hoping it is.
Probably not, as it's not actually a Paizo product.

Probably not, as it's not actually a Paizo product.*looks at Paizo Inc* .-. I guess you meant its not a product?
I believe they were referring to the following, from the product description:
Note: Heroes for Highdelve is published by Games & Gears under license from Gen Con and Paizo in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Gen Con, taking place August 17-20, 2017. It will be available for purchase at both the Games & Gears and Paizo booths, as well as paizo.com on or after the show.
They were indeed.

Oh, it's a weirdo.
Hmm.. I'll get the PDF then.

Yeah, it's licensed by Paizo, the author is Amanda Hamon Kunz even.

Yay, set in Brevoy! Also provides another reason never to attend a public function on Golarion. Festavils tends to get attacked or spoiled often.in this world.
Nope, the second party in the triangle is usually the customer, i.e. us.
In fact, all third party products are done under a license, whether it's the OGL or the Pathfinder Compatibility License, the Paizo Community License, or an individually negotiated license like the one Games & Gears is likely using.

As far as the RPG industry is concerned, 2nd party has always referred to parties other than the owner, with a license that allows them to use the owner's IP. Paizo was considered and referred to as a 2nd party publisher for D&D when they were printing Dragon and Dungeon magazines, for example.
Yeah, thats weird ._. Its still in Golarion setting, I don't think there are any 3rd party stuff that takes place in Golarion?
Its very limited. From Shore to Sea was a joint necromancer games/paizo project similar to this one is, and several Kobald Quarterly articles were licensed. (The Radovan and Jaggare article, and the Creatures of Osirion stats are the two I can think of off the top of my head)
Kirstov,
There was also two articles on Barbatos and Dispater.

I am SO excited to see this announced.
This year will be my 12th consecutive year at Gen Con--I've been going to the show since I was in college, when it was just a carload of us making the trip from Michigan/Ohio as fans. As my position in the industry has gone from fan to freelancer to full-time industry professional, Gen Con has always been a constant. It's been a place to meet up with friends, to network with professionals, and now to chat with fans. It's been a big cornerstone of my personal and professional spheres.
So, needless to say, it is SUCH a huge honor to have the opportunity to write the module that's celebrating Gen Con's 50th anniversary.
It's so cool to have been able to give names, stats, and back stories to iconic characters whose introductions I remember from Gen Con's promotional materials back in, I want to say, around 2013. It's also exciting to have immersed these iconics in the lore of Golarion, and to be able to introduce them to Paizo's fans as well as to hopefully interest new folks in Pathfinder and our world.
As much as Gen Con was formative for me as a young fan, I hope that this module and the show's 50th anniversary will bring new fans into the fold, and introduce youngsters to a hobby they can call their own.
Gen Con and Games & Gears have been great partners in making this product happen--and a huge shoutout to Managing Developer Adam Daigle, who gave the module a once-over and helped me trim the (originally way too long!) text to fit into the page count.
I am stoked to have had the privilege to be involved in this book! I hope folks dig it!

Kickass! I can't wait to look it over now ^w^

If it eases anyone's mind, I picked this up and GenCon and don't have PDF access either.
Honestly that, coupled with the knowledge that the product appears to be generally unavailable in pdf or paper form out side of having purchased at the Con, leads me to believe that this may be a Con exclusive which would be unfortunate. At any rate I do hope they make this more widely avalibe as I would love to DM some one-shots of this on Roll20.
If this item is supposed to be a Gen Con exclusive not available at all in PDF form, why does it even have a Paizo product page?
That would make more sense, yes.

Hey there, folks!
As far as my understanding, this product should be available soon in print and PDF form. I don't have a definitive date quite yet, but they should be coming.
For those of you who picked up the print version of the module at the show, an error unfortunately cropped up sometime after we finished the files on our end. The final section is missing from the print version. I'm pasting it here for folks looking for that text.
CONCLUDING THE ADVENTURE
After the PCs have defeated the ettin, recovered the Golden Pendant, and emerged from the cave, they come face to face with Aurelliax in her true form. She is a magnificent mature adult gold dragon whose presence dwarfs that of the PCs. Once she sees that the PCs have her amulet, she thanks them. She gifts each of them statuettes of gold dragons with diamonds for eyes, each worth 2,000 gp. If the PCs still need information to resolve the goals they pursued during the Brightbloom Jubilee, Aurelliax tells them now: Kiliuk's mother is in Grayhaven, the cargo Torgen seeks left Highdelve destined for Grayhaven, and Carth Garenth not only has Rhylene's ring designs but would be willing to make Brialla and Meraina a new one free of charge.
While the PCs were in the cave, Aurelliax harvested the slope's brightblooms. The filled cart in her claws, the gold dragon offers the PCs a ride to Highdelve on her back. (She also transports the bullies and Feran to stand trial, if any of them accompany the PCs.) With the bullies and possibly Feran locked up, the townspeople fete the heroes, who are invited to hand out brightblooms during the most joyous Brightbloom Ball the town has ever seen—all thanks to the PCs’ efforts.

** spoiler omitted **
I'm assuming this will be adjusted and added to the upcoming PDF and new print?

I don't know about any additional printing, because Paizo produced but didn't print this product.
The PDF remains correct (I just checked to make sure!), so when that's available on the website it'll have that missing piece of text in there as intended.
