I do like this module, but had a couple of questions.
1)I was doing some research and the old pf1e used different layouts than just the 3x3 spread, like the bridge and the sword, etc. I don't suppose this would ever be updated to accommodate these other layouts for some other interesting storytelling opportunities?
2)In order to look at a card, you have click on it once, then have to click on interpret to see what the card means. Is there any way for the little bit of text to come up the first click? This makes it a bit annoying having to click twice and the fact that it opens another window.

Huzzah! As someone who loves the actual spell academies introduced and loves spellcasters, can't wait for this one!!!

Love that this is a nice big book, looking forward to it!

I've been looking for something like this!!! Bought immediately when I saw :D

I was assuming this would follow the same line as pf2e where if we own the pdf, there would be a discounted version of the foundry module. Is this not the case?

Just got my pdf and it looks great! Can't wait till release day for the foundry module!!

I don't see mention of Starship Combat so guessing this isn't going to be included in this playtest?

Also, should we expect the final version August 2025 or maybe sooner(hopefully)?

I like that there is the option of shorter adventure paths, but I hope we will still get 1-20 APs in the future. That's what I like to run and play in. Granted, I can always add a low and high one together, but I like the overarching for the entire 1-20 adventurer career. If some people think they are too long, why not build in a quick track where you level faster and have less encounters? And then have the slow track for those that like a slower build up to the end?

I think that "rush mode" on an Adventure Path kinda removes the appeal of it being an Adventure Path, so that's not a solution I'm comfortable baking into things officially.

And a big draw for the 3 part Adventure Paths is that this gives us twice as many times in a year to tell a story, and also twice as many times in a year to appeal to a GM with that story. The 6 part ones are fun and I love creating them, but if it's one you or your group isn't interested in, you have to wait half a year for your next shot at one you might like.

And of course from the sales side... if we publish an Adventure Path that sells less than another, a 3 part one, in theory, limits that loss of revenue to only half the duration, of course... 3-part Adventure Paths are a much healthier option for Paizo in that regard.

All that said, if the timing and story are right and demand it, we'll do a 6 part 1st to 20th Adventure Path again. It just has to be the right time and the right story is all.

And THAT said, I do see a value in trying to build in stronger links for those that start not at 1st level so it does suggest a better way to use a higher-level Adventure Path to continue the story in a lower level one. Curtain Call is a great example coming soon.

All good points, and good to know that future 1-20s aren't completely off the table! And I'll have to pay attention to Curtain Call when it comes out :) Thanks!

I don't have a link to the pdf. I am a subscriber and my monster core is backordered? Is that supposed to happen? Can I get my pdf while I'm waiting?

Is there any plans for this to be converted for Foundryvtt?

Yes, by Spring 2023.

Yessss, Can't wait to run this as I've not managed to complete it as a player, only got a little bit into it.
