Hellfire Crisis and Guilt of the Graveworld have my *attention*

Alien Core has my instapurchase

And what ever is coming for Lost Omens has me *stapled to the screen*

They also look and feel way bigger than Centaur and Minotaur is just looking at them. He’s standing next to an orc and they are not short

Damn that Chimera is cool!

*looks over at the setup going on with the Necromancer and Runesmith classes* Hmm...

You know I find it interesting that Nex didn’t want anyone to the Convocation but Geb did.

First mention of Iomedae in 2E, woo!

Thinking of how to integrate these ancestries in Pathfinder, some work as being just visitors but some being enclaves drawn from other lore could be interesting.

And I guess the rest of Southern Garund too.

I want to know what the heck is up with Eihlona's airships and other Shorytech.

Dinosaur trains trump airships :p

What if the dinosaurs were in the airship?

Howl of the Wilds calls you

Excuse the f+!& out of me, what do you mean HE'S BACK?!

The Galaxy Guide is said to be fairly usable for Pathfinder 2E as a baseline for creating adventurers during 4725.

Third: I love dark fantasy, and so I literally have zero problems with the world having injustice in it, especially since there were plenty of them in real history. I like to immerse myself in the mentality and atmosphere of an ancient society, and not play as a modern person with modern morals.

Golarion has arcade games and trains in certain parts of the world. You can meet aliens and androids from other planets. Queer rights seem normalized essentially everywhere. Slavery bas been outlawed across the Inner Sea, seen as abhorrent by most and a liability even to the tyrannical regimes. You can be a magical girl who drinks boba tea, a cowboy who loves airship travel, or a mermaid who gets around on land with a magical wheelchair.

Whatever you're projecting onto the setting, it's not the grimdark, backwards fantasy you make it out to be in any of the 2e texts I've read. Injustice still exists, there are problems for heroes to solve, but everything about the handling of Arcadia for over a decade now suggests the writers have no interest in the path you want - and I'm thankful for that.

And I will say quite honestly that this is the part of the modern setting that I do not like. Instead of being an analogue of the past of the real world, Golarion turns into an amusement park with decorations in the form of the past. Therefore, personally, I completely cut out all such elements in my games. And I do not see anything bad in this, as well as in talking about my preferences.

When the f++~ has Golarion ever been an analogue of the real past?

There are people that ride mammoths living in spitting distance of a crashed alien space ship, and a big f@%% ass lizard that people’s elbowed a city out of the sky.

Hell there have been multiple confirmed alien invasions.

Snakes used to rule the world until the squid-fish hivemind said nuh-uh.

There was a thousand year war between two guys that bumblef+!@ed a third of a continent.

And a magic piece of rock candy can make you a god if it likes your vibe.

I would like a book about…

Anybody get their copy yet?

I do. Is there something you'd like to know?

I just got mine so thank you but no lol

Anybody get their copy yet?

I really do wanna get a look at Okaiyo at some point.

Also, I thought the Varki had some Sami influence, not just Inuit. Am I off-base on that one? Also, we know the names of two of the four larger Okaiyon ethnicities: the Taotake and Nahoa's people, the Olehala.

Regardless glad to get a look at Iblydos in the entire, though it is definitely not the location I want to see the most.

*whispers into the minds of the Paizo devs and writers* Give me Droon. Droon next. Droooooooooooooon~

Oop! My order is pending!

I do find it kind of crazy that in July-August, though, Pathfinder is about to get eight new classes, around 10 new ancestries, some alternates for existing ancestries, and 2 heritages when you combine this release and Battlecry.

Curious to see what shape the Inner Sea War takes!

Really loving everything about the new ancestry.

The gazetteer alone makes this an instant purchase for me

According to a Wargamer article, I think they’re referring to the part about the ‘Astonishing Engine’, which…

** spoiler omitted **

So no wonder they have to deal with people trying to exorcise it lmao

Oh…. Oh dear

Oh, we’re gonna get a look at Mendev and Sarkoris as well, color me intrigued.

No!

Not Goldern Roads and no Arcadia

I DEMAND DROON!

Enough hints and minor comments! I WANT MY DINOSAUR BUILT IRUXI EMPIRE AND I WANT IT NOW!

Is there gonna be a gazetteer of the archipelago? I'm not even sure I know what the isles look like.

It might detail that the spore war is currently going on but I’m more curious to see if it mentions anything about the wardens of Wildwood AP

The fate of Hermea has been confirmed as of War of Immortals

Well the Final Blades are up and walking around so things probably aren't the best.

Curious to see if the Eighth Army gets expanded in here at all.

I have, it’s quite interesting and I’m namely curious to know what folks are going to end up choosing when it comes to the

I'm just excited to see what the setting is like now, and also see if there is any info why some of the S1 gods are gone.

There are Astrazoans living in the Pact Worlds, but No one really knows where Astrazoans came from and they don't have a home world.

Pretty sure they’re from Apostae, being the descendants of their original inhabitants the Ilee

Considering the devastating effects that the railroad industry has had in the real world, introducing trains to Golarion makes me nervous. But I definitely want to play this adventure.

It could have some interesting bits of tension with the neighbors' populace, though, or it could be magical and not have as much of a detriment to the environment.

Well there’s Naderi, oh… and I guess not all of the Osirion pantheon is gone then.

So no mention of Naderi in the book? Did she wander into the Hole of Disappearance along with the Egyptians or what?

Yeah it’s odd I just finished reading about Shelyn and her Relationship section mentions all the tragedy in her early existence but doesn’t mention Naderi at all.

Huh thought there was supposed to be a section on Gorum and the other dead gods, but I can’t find it in the PDF

This was the art I was thinking of under his tab

Apsu’s original mate was Tiamat if I remember correctly.

You are referencing material presented in a 2007 D&D OGL book that James Jacobs has since stated is not what they wanted to keep when they published 1st edition Pathfinder. So, Tiamat was not kept in the Pathfinder setting when it was first published as its own game and Tiamat was no longer canon once the first Pathfinder Core Rulebook came out. Other PF books referenced events and things related to the story of the dragon gods, but no longer mention her by the name Tiamat.

Also, Dahak is now Apsu’s son and is looking for a rematch whereas, in the older version of the story Apsu was the one hunting Dahak. Also, Apsu is green now instead of being a silver dragon.

Dahak has always been Apsu's son, he's also been shown as Green before hasn't he?

Apsu’s original mate was Tiamat if I remember correctly.

*Vibrating in expectation*

*My Order Is Pending*

\(OoO)/

There is so much lore in this book, and in places I didn’t even expect to see it as well!

Wow, this book is Juicy with lore, specially in places I wasn’t expecting to find it

Very very hype for this book after all the stuff I’ve been seeing about war of the immortals

I’m also pretty excited for all of the upcoming APs. They all seem really solid and are delving into areas that I’m all that I’m interested in betting there’s gonna be a lot of interesting lore in them as well.

*stares in growing shock and horror at learning a parasite was living inside of Gorum and has a name I recognize*

Kurshu the Undying is back from dead and looks less scaley than before?

Man I thought that was because she was snek lady, but I guess it was just really bad case of rash. Joking aside cool call back, but I do prefer old look better, let snake women have scales! xD

Anyhoo, does this mean that Twin Imperators are dead or in political exile? I do kinda hope they have survived for more internal conflict in star empire but guess we'll find out soon xD

Wasn't there an image that came out of someone sitting on a throne with two bodies on the ground?

Give world more please :3

The Pantheon changes are *interesting*

Also NGL the idea of a wandering Kholo mercenary band in the context of Belkzen immediately made my brain go full Eberron.

I do find it very interesting...

They're observing the experiment to understand any possible failings of their particular plans, perhaps.

Oh I was disagreeing with the other person saying it wasn’t a genocide. It very much was one.
