Special Deluxe Edition of the Rise of the Runelords Hardcover announced!
We've finally broken the silence spell that's been keeping our lips sealed, and now we can share something that will make Paizo's tenth anniversary even more spectacular with this special release!
It's been five years since we started the Pathfinder Adventure Path, and the first one, Rise of the Runelords, has been hailed as a classic for hitting all of our favorite fantasy tropes in all the right ways. When we announced that we would compile the out-of-print and hard to find volumes into one hardcover, you rejoiced, and when we also updated it to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game rules, as well as expanded upon sections of the adventures, and added new art, there was even more excitement! I'll dish on the contents of the Rise of the Runelords Hardcover soon, but we didn't want you to miss out on the chance to snag the Rise of the Runelords Deluxe Collector's Edition Hardcover! This is more than just the Pathfinder version of the adventure path, this is a collector's item, with a leather-like cover embossed with the Sihedron rune, symbol of the Runelords and long associated with fallen Thassilon, printed on high-quality paper, and with ribbon bookmark. It also contains full-color player handouts and key maps, tucked into the pages of this tome, while leaving the game master with their own copy!
We're not callin' it "deluxe" for nothin', and the Deluxe Edition will contain not one, not two, but fifteen prints of the original cover art, iconic characters, even the cover art for the Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition Hardcover! Did we mention that they're all by fan favorite artist Wayne Reynolds (whom you will be able to meet in person at PaizoCon next week)? Both the hardcover book and prints are contained within a special case, inspired by the Runelord Karzoug's own Sihedron Tome with metal casings, leather-like covers, and a working clasp to keep all of it safe from prying eyes. The Deluxe Edition is a limited release only available on Paizo.com—you won't find these in stores anywhere, and if you're a Pathfinder Adventure Path subscriber, your preorder will get you a free copy of the PDF (along with interactive map and player handout PDFs)!
The Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path helped carve Paizo into what it is today—check out all of the Rise of the Runelords-related products right here at Paizo and relive the exciting start to the world of Golarion again!

Wowza, every time I think I'm gonna have a free month to start saving for unexpected big purchases, another unexpected big purchase raises its head and mocks me :(, I already missed out on the Collector's Edition of the Warhammer 40k, I can't miss out on this! *breaks yet another piggy-bank*
As I understand things, the PDF of the book is identical for the two versions. Will the player's handout PDFs be part of the Anniversary Edition PDFs?
On the one hand, do want.
On the other hand, I'll have to wait until November to start Rise of the Runelords instead of July.
This is a conundrum.

Yes
Chris Lambertz mentioned it in the anniversary product discussion a couple of days ago.
Cheers. I missed that. :)
I've never done a pre-order on Paizo, do you get charged now, or when the book ships?
When it ships (although, depending on your bank there may be a temporary hold on the account for a small proportion of the order price).
OMG. My thought process is now saying "Rise of the Runelords, or Halo 4?" ARGH!!
Immensely cool. However, any chance the Core Rulebook gets the same treatment? :D
Not to feed into species stereotypes but... Droooooooool
My problem is that this should be a month earlier or a month later. My birthday is in October and Christmas in December.

Quick question: Let's say, hypothetically, I ordered the "Regular" version already, however I wanted to switch it out for the above version. Is that possible?

You can preorder this and contact customer service to get them to cancel your order for the anniversary edition.
I can't talk about how badly I want this without going into R-rated territory.
If there's a chance at all ever that just the empty cases become available, I'd sell a kidney for it. Maybe even one of my own. That is an ablsolutely splendid looking item.
