When Paizo moved away from the Chromatic/Metallic dragons, I had originally assumed they would bring back all of my favorite dragons from 1e, the Planar Dragons - as they are DEEPLY tied to Pathfinder's setting (I can't complain about what we DID get however, as I LOVE the new dragons - especially the Conspirator Dragon) and we DID get 2 updated versions of my favorite dragon set... but what I REALLY hope to see in this book is some of the others! I REALLY want to see what they will do with the Abaddon, Abyss, and the Maelstrom Dragons specifically!!

I assume the Beast is a Qlippoth, similar to how Rovagug is a Qlippoth... The Qlippoth that are known are just the entities from the surface most portions of the lower Abyss... but in an infinite plane, the deeper you go, the more powerful and twisted things get! Rovagug was a God from the deeper portions that left the abyss for whatever reason... whos to say that there aren't things MUCH worse down there!

Super excited for all of this! Also very intrigued by Zon-Shelyn, especially in the context of what we learned in the Pathfinder side of things.

I'm almost afraid to ask; what did we learn on the Pathfinder side of things, exactly?

I was wondering the same thing.

There's going to be a Drift Crisis syle event involving a divine war. One of the Core 20 is going to die.

WHAT?!

Excuse you?! The hell you mean?!

Where was this?!

GenCon Keynote presentation.

I think some lore from 1e is also worth mentioning... When Dou-Bral first returned to the system as Zon-Kuthon, despite his new horrifying condition and despite having already ripped their fathers skin off and turning him into a monster, Shelyn tried to hug Zon-Kuthon because she loved him and was just glad he was still alive. He attacked her and raked his claws across her face and then they fought a LONG brutal fight. Shelyn realized that the Glaive he held was emanating some evil corrupting power, so she wrestled it away from him, and then he just stopped fighting and left (to this day she has not put it down for fear that he will get it again and it will continue corrupting him - hence her favored weapon changing from dagger to glaive). After this there was that whole thing where Zon-Kuthon willingly agreed to be imprisoned in exchange for an item from Abadar's vault (choosing the First Shadow).

After he was freed, Shelyn frequently would go and sit with her brother and talk to him (never getting a word back)... but she was the only one he would allow to sit with him like that. She tried for a very long time to mend his mind, but no progress was ever made. Worth mentioning though, the Glaive that she never put down was always radiating an evil corrupting energy the made her feel sick...

with all this said, I think what happened was after holding it for SOOOOOOO long, it finally began to change her (or weaken her). and maybe she gave up, and gave back the Glaive to him, or maybe he was just biding his time and when she was weakened enough, he attacked... but once he had it back, it drove him to consume her.

Wow, I already love Xhokan!! I am SOOOO putting him in when I start running this campaign (hopefully within the next few weeks)!

Is this possibly about the Kaiju Igroon, the Dragon Eater? There is practically no info on this kaiju from 1e... although the fact that it mentioned petrified remains of whatever this creature is makes it unlikely to be this Kaiju... unless it died a while back and these are instructions to revive it! haha a freshly revived kaiju rampaging across the Impossible Lands would be an amazing event to try to stop in an AP though!!

A male Changeling!?!? Is this a common thing now for changelings in 2e, or is this just some unique situation!?

I just hope 2E puts out another Core book shortly after this big release that introduces more of the classes I love into the new system.

Occult Classes

EVERY ONE GETS ITS OWN CLASS.

Sorry, that was my bias showing. I love these things and I want to see them all in full glory, updated and refined.

YES!!!!! I think they will all do nicely in the new system, but I'm super excited for the Kineticist, it's versatility make it one of the biggest stapples in my games. I can't wait to see what 2E will (hopefully) do with it!

I would really like to see some of the places i've been drooling over for YEARS, like Geb, Brevoy, and Razmiran in 2E... But, i'd also kinda like a rehash of some of the older Campaign Settings that cost a boatload to get now, like Absalom, Katapesh, and The River Kingdoms... I mean they can just copy/ paste most of the info into a new Campaign Setting, and just update it a bit based on the current date...

If they're doing less frequent hardbound books instead of Campaign Settings, does that mean the '10 geographical regions' will each get a book?

My biggest concern is that 2E will do what Starfinder has been doing, hardbound books half the size of their pathfinder equivalents, but for the same price! I want the full size hardbound books, ESPECIALLY if there will be less books droping per year!
