They said its four a year, but the way they'll be spaced out may be different depending on the needs of the year. The only safe assumption is probably always one at Gencon.

But to answer the other question, Hellbreakers has not had one published yet. Likely this week, maybe next.

They are there, the links are hard to see, but they're in the paragraph of text.
For example

Enter the Megadungeon!

Evil stirs in the depths of the Abomination Vaults, a sprawling dungeon where the evil sorcerer Belcorra Haruvex attempted to raise an army of monsters hundreds of years ago. Brave heroes must venture into a dungeon full of beasts and traps to prevent a spiteful villain from rising again.

Prepare for adventure by downloading the free Abomination Vaults Player's Guide and Pathfinder Society Organized Play sanctioning documents.

There is a thread about this in Announcements. They are investigating.

Is there a free subscriber pdf/epub for Operation: Hellmouth too?

I have now created one full idiot daredevil for next week's PFS game. Can't wait to see what stupidity he can get into.

Also plus one to the PDF is in my library for this month's map, but not for Hellbreakers or Operation Hellmouth

Actually that announcement has me wondering: did y'all plan for this to coincide with the 40th Anniversary of Castlevania?

We're finally going to Bastardhall, and in the same year we're finally getting a new Castlevania game? Pinch me I'm dreaming.

Paizo Live has been an important information source for many years now. Its generally the first Friday of every month (though some months is is the second Friday due to vacations and other things, this month's is tomorrow.)

One question: Since it sounds like the adventure is going to be very much a "you get stuck in this location" is there going to be guidance on how to address backup characters if a PC doesn't make it?

Oh I agree, my brain is just swimming with all the research I did to prep my own Bastardhall work, so it just sits back there and percolates while I wait for July. the August subscriber day will be either 5 days before or 2 days after my birthday, and I can't ask for a better gift than Bastardhall

There's honestly very little published at the moment. Most information about Bastardhall is in the 1E Campaign Setting book Rule of Fear with a teeeeeeensy bit in Inner Sea Magic, Dungeons of Golarion, The Dungeoneer's Handbook, and Book of the Dead

Just wondering if the Paizo novels subscription will be like the old Tales subscription and offer an ePub/PDF for subscribers? I'm really itching to read the new novel and would love to jump in on Subscriber Day next week!

I think almost everything from the wiki actually comes from Rule of Fear, except for the one from Inner Sea Magic. I know the burning down of the castle is on page 56 of Rule of Fear.

As someone who never interacted with the official Golarion setting until 2021 I have no idea what Bastardhall is. But as someone who has tried for a decade to design his own Castlevania-esque campaign and never managed to quite make it work I am unbelievably hyped for this Adventure Path.

On that note, IDK if James is still answering questions, but if you are: Is there a BBEG in this adventure or is it more of just "the mystery of the Castle" kind of plothook?

oh oh let me help here

Bastardhall is a castle in eastern Ustalav that sits on an island in the middle of Lake Laroba. It is the seat of the Arudora noble family. Several hundred years ago (4213 AR), a mysterious visiter arrived at the castle, and shortly thereafter the Black Coach departed the castle and abducted nearby villagers. Every 100 years since then, the Coach departs the castle looking for new prey.

The look of the castle is very Castlevania inspired, including a distended tower like that of Dracula's tower in those games.

If I had to bet I would imagine that there is a final boss and that his name might be found in the 1E Campaign Setting book Inner Sea Magic.

a merry glub glub glub glub glub to you too Alex

Only for subscribers, which it still does

Is the hedgemaze still there?

Thanks for the sale guys! I just spent $61 to complete my collection of ebooks

Already is. It's right here

Aroden *sucked* by the way. Fixed it for you. ;)

Maya, I've literally been waiting 15 years for a Bastardhall adventure.

This might be a dumb question but will this ap have horror elements to it? Thats the vibe im getting and of course being set in Ustalav helps lol. I loved Carrion Crown from 1e

It absolutely will. It's set in the most haunted castle in the most horror-coded region of the Inner Sea, written by one of the most horror-obsessed writers on staff there is. Some of my specific inspirations for this Adventure Path are drawn from horror movies and horror video games like...

Time to start watching and reading.

Well the time has already passed for that one, but there is an option under your subscription manager, under more options "skip product"

Through the Gate in the Sea and Gears of Faith were the last two, and according to PFwiki neither has an audiobook.

The subscriber advantage 15% discount for maintaining 4 subs still exists.

You've made many purchases on the new store account that just launched a few months ago? Because they just launched a new store, which required a new account.

It says "customers who own" that includes non-subscribers.

To be fair, Paizo *did* attempt their own VTT (GameSpace) about a decade ago. It didn't get out of beta.

You can use TokenTool to extract the images from the PDFs. I know it's not the optimal solution, but I don't think its super likely for the Paizo staff to go back and compile image only versions of the hundreds of maps that were done pre-2019, as that would take manpower from other projects.

The existing four modules will almost assuredly not get updated with new text, but all the creature updates will be in the system. With Gatewalkers there was a new module for the combined edition, and I expect that to be the case for Seasons of Ghosts too.

Generally books will only get errata into PDFs when a new print run of the physical book is published. You'll also receive an email telling you your PDF was updated. I don't believe either of those has gone back to reprint yet, but I may be wrong.

They can't resolve issues like this over the message boards. Your best bet is to contact customer service.

High Seas is July, a month before the GenCon releases.

Yes go to your subscription manager and "more options" and "skip product" on the book.

The release schedules are here and here

Because they were updating the entire framework of the site. Calm down.

They're made by Metamorphic, not Foundry, but the point stands that the work that the devs do is not free. You can use the exiting module for the single books just fine, its just going to take a little elbow grease to replace the creatures with the remastered versions (which exist for free within the PF2 system).

Alderpash is not a prisoner canonically anymore. He got out when the prison collapsed in Wrath. Now he's just exploring the Outer Rifts.

I mean the schedule for Paizo Live on Twitch has been constant for the last couple years (with exceptions when the first Friday of a month is the first or second day of the month). They do Paizo Lives on the first Friday of the month. That's where you're going to get some information about upcoming releases, and where the people who knew about Bastion of Blasphemies learned about it.

Battlecry! didn't get specifically revealed until February of last year. War of Immortals was announced in April the year before. The thing that the announcement is coming later this time is because for the Battlecry! classes, we knew the name of the book from the Playtest, while we don't know that from this one.

The playtest was done earlier than normal due to the very big Starfinder playtest that also had to be done. Its very likely those two classes are in next year's GenCon release, which we'll hear more about closer to GenCon.

Its also worth noting that Starfinder APs were always shorter length volumes than their Pathfinder equivalents. Single volume SF AP volumes were 68 pages rather than 100.

It is very sad that some of the really good conversation on old blog posts is lost, but ce la vie

I lied, I have one more question: which side of the island does the spectral bridge connect to?

One question I have for James is that the segment during Paizo Live made it sound like Maiserene is on the island with the castle, while Wes's recaps of his Paizocon tables and the text of Rule of Fear made it sound like Maiserene is on the shore across from the castle. Is this a change?

I gotta be honest, I find the new store frustrating. Part of this might be from the fact that my favorite products aren't listed in the store now. The maps. There is no section for them, they don't seem listed anywhere under anything and the minute they come off the 'coming soon' they vanish.

The other thing that I miss is that when I looked at a product category it showed the release schedule for that category at the top as part of the subscription. I could quickly look there and get excited about what was coming down the road.

Now the whole store feels like its a mystery cult, you gotta be intimately familiar with the catalog already to even look up anything and if you don't know about it then you will never discover it.

Maps are here under accessories.
