EXCELLENT!!!!
Makes me hunger for it even more now.
I must say: even though all Pathfinder books have excellent page design, this takes the cake by far. Very attractive layouts. The fact that these screenshots are actually legible just makes it better.+1 it looks really amazing.
+3.
i will get both the PDF and the book.
So the Spine dragon has wings but can't fly? and only a land speed of 30?
Not in this book.
Someday, though, he will be.
I'll just hope it's soon then. ^_~

For the record, the Knights were already in the old CS, except they were called Knights of Salvation or something like that.
Nope. The Knights of Abendego are new. They're a gang of scavengers who live in Jula, one of several scavenger groups that sort of fit the same role as the gangs of thugs that show up in all the post-apocalyptic settings.

I was hoping someone would find an error in these pages, so that my paranoia about the first error being found and reported in the book could be justified!
His fly speed is missing for whatever reason, alas. Should be Fly 60 (average). His fly skill is in there among his skills fine and dandy.
His land speed is correct. He's not that fast.
Anyway... first error logged in the book! Woo. At least it's not like the first error we noticed in the previous edition, which was a typo in a word that had letters like an inch tall.
If that hint applies to an upcoming AP (say in an anniversary year) villain I would glad to hear it.Will the giant robot scorpion with gatling guns for arms and a particle accelerator cannon for a tail be stated as well?Not in this book.
Someday, though, he will be.
Nothing about Numeria has anything to do with an anniversary of any sort.
Note: I did NOT say "Nothing about Numeria has anything to do with an adventure path."
Make of that what you will. ;-P
I feel like Nethys right now.

Inner Sea Reigon is going to haunt you until the End of Days. :P

Who knows, it might become the RPG-industry's answer to the yellow three-shilling banco stamp. ;)

Soooo any new Iconic art in there at all?(Lini being a very specific example.)
There's a new piece of art on page 4 that shows Merisiel and Seoni in Varisia as a giant stone statue of Karzoug is animating and preparing to attack them... and that's it.
Not a lot of iconics show up in the artwork of this book at all.
Question: Is every region/country going to have a map of it alone in its section of the book? This is something i thought was missing from the first book!
Cheers!

With the exception of the Darklands, yes, every region has its own zoomed-in regional map, like what you see above for the Sodden Lands.

I've read through the PDF (swag from this year's Superstar contest), and I can confirm: this book is awesome. Bravo, Paizo. Bravo.I have also really enjoyed the book. So many new toys to choose from....
Just for the record, this raspberry is for both you guys > PFFFFPPPFTTTTT!!! So there!
+2 on the $9.99 PDF price - I will go this route, while saving up the fifty bucks to get the book. Maybe I'll win one...somewhere....

Credit where credit's due: this one was designed and laid out by our graphic designer, Andrew, who gave Sarah a much-needed break from laying out another hardcover tome.I must say: even though all Pathfinder books have excellent page design, this takes the cake by far. Very attractive layouts. The fact that these screenshots are actually legible just makes it better.Yep, I completely agree; 'tis yet another feather in Sarah's cap!
I was wrong? Mark, you should know that is not possible... ;)
Alright, alright! Congrats, Andrew -- that's some great work there, and it's definitely a feather in your cap! :)

Funny...from the picture I'd have ventured they were an knightly order devoted to rescuing people on the coasts or fighting deep sea terrors (such as Kraken and other such horrors). Guess that teaches me to not judge a book by it's cover. ^_~
I already have it! its marvelous it's it's ... superb.. the quality, the paper! the cover... it feels just godly.... makes me feel UberGM.
what?
what?
stop that mumble...
i can have dreams, don't i? ;)

I suspect not.
Now that we have this version, I don't even look at the old book anymore, let alone the map.
