This is so delightful hahahah

Absolutely incredible how beautiful this book is looking to be wow. Already so invested in all these schools!!

Very excited for this ap, looking forward to seeing more of Casmaron and maybe a mention of Drokalion haha

Excited to see this updated but a little confused by the levels being listed as 1-8, the original path was a 1-10 was it not? Has some of it been removed?

Oh the art in this post is wonderful, love the fusing of mendevian architecture and sarkorian art. This book is shaping up to be so exciting!!

Also as someone who has been desperately rooting for Teki for years, thank you so much Tomas Gimenez Rioja <3

Yes, thank you so much Tomas! I was the original writer of Teki back when she was a Starstone Aspirant in the backmatter of Agents of Edgewatch. I have been rooting for her for years. I was so surprised to see her in the book that I fell out of my chair when reading it. Thank you for caring for my baby, and helping her reach her true potential.

Thank you so much for writing her originally!! She is such a sweet character and I've been campaigning for her ascension in the community for years hahah

Absolutely wonderful to hear from the authors of this incredible book!

The Abadar lore was an unexpected highlight to me, so a hge shoutout to Carlos Cisco for adding some very nteresting backstory and complexity there!

Also as someone who has been desperately rooting for Teki for years, thank you so much Tomas Gimenez Rioja <3

Really nice to hear from Michael Sayre too, all my love to his family at this time and a thank you for all the wonderful work you have done x

This book was a triumph and I'm looking forward to seeing more from these authors!

I do hope we get some kind of official acknowledgement if he has left, his work has been instrumental to PF2E's success.

Is the stream still going ahead today? x

This is such a useful resource, thank you so much for putting this together!

Ooh, sneak peak at new(?) stuff coming in divine mysteries.

I spotted two spells (Endure, Anticipate peril) and a new domain, Introspection. Neat!

Those actually do all already exist but will be remastered in divine mysteries!

I'm hyperventilating and crying here, if the two mentioned goddesses are Arazni and Iomedae I might pass out from excitment

Oh I love this! The way Samo's animism is described is wonderful and very evocative and Nahoa is so charming haha

IM SO EXCITED AHHHHHHHHHH

Ahhhh so excited for this, new gadgets! Oath magic! Tan shao han! The magaambya! What more could a girl want

Crying and screaming out here, loved the writing in this scenario and such a beautiful way to handle the culmination of two particular figure's story <3

This was so much fun to read and I am wincing for poor Rhys hahah

Very happy to report I got both books over here in Newcastle, UK. I also chatted to some folks and told them about pf2e and saw multiple people in line holding player cores and gm cores!!!

Also I would fistfight Gorum for the squox. I would toppled mountains for the squox.

Thank you all for your excellent work! Such a lovely book with beautiful narration and excellent new options. Also gosh that centaur art with all the birds is so so beautiful <3

Oh hell yeah, I am so excited by this particular plot thread, I do hope it might culminate in seeing Mahja in Divine Mysteries at the end of the year!!!

Very happy to see this is going to be the case!!

Also we likely know which god she is replacing now :D

Arazni is not still undead and hasn't been for 2e! At the end of 1e the radiant fire severed her connection to her soul cage, freeing her from her lichdom and leading to her ascension to a full goddess!

In other cover news, bearing in mind that "product images. . . are subject to change," we now have four iconics for Curtain Call: Seoni, Mios, Fumbus, and Jirelle.

The iconics for Curtain Call are Lem, Mios, Fumbus, and Jirelle. Seoni would have been a good choice, but...

Lem is the bard, so he HAS to be in the opera Adventure Path.
Jirelle and Mios both look like they'd be rad on stage in an opera.
And Fumbus is there to ensure that the whimsy built into this Adventure Path is on point.

I just know Fumbus is going to nail the rare Goblin Aria.

These have been delightful! I absolutely adore Dr Pom and it's wonderful to get some insight on what awakening feels like!!

Also great to hear we can choose the size for awakened animal characters!

Not that anyone asked, but here's a list of Ancestry/Heritage related options that have been revealed thus far. Included a brief description and possible real-world inspiration, if only to give any idea of what they are and the diversity of real-world cultures being represented.

** spoiler omitted **

These are some inferences or assumptions I have given some info or things I feel are obvious, given the location.
** spoiler omitted **...

For Goblins, it was mentioned in a stream that they would be getting a heritage based on the Dokkaebi!

And with the news that Oni are no longer fiends I doubt they're gonna be a Nephilim heritage. I am partly wondering if that new vers heitage in core 2 might be a spirit one though that could provide an Oni option...

" Six playable new ancestries to bring PCs' wildest characters to life: strong minotaurs, swift centaurs, magical merfolk, amphibious athamarus, animals awakened to consciousness, and insectile, metamorphic surkis! "

I'm wondering if the "amphibious athamarus" is the ORC version of the lizardfolk.
Anyway, it's cool to have new ancestries. Hyped to play werewolf too...

It's not, the Athamaru are actually the new Locathah!

But yeah super hyped for this book!!

Brilliant, I expected to have to wait much longer for things like Psychic errata, really appreciate everything you are doing to make sure everything is still playable <3

Does this make it more likely the third heritage is dragon-linked?

Not really, each of the core books has featured one of the new dragons, one from each tradition!

Got my auth email and everything seems to be in order! Wallet crying out a little but at the price but it was expected with two rulebooks haha
Good luck to everyone, here's hoping the shippng goes smoothly next week!

As an avid witch player, I'm so happy that you'v understood what some of us love about the witch whilst also shoring up their weaker points. Love the doubling down on familiars and very very happy to hear about wilding word being buffed along with immunity being removed.

Thank you so much for all your hard work, looking forward to the remaster!

Love the Gnome art here. I think it is new art?

It is not, it's from the Lost Omens character guide! It is very cool though!

Any chance we could have the review removed of the individual who stated they did not even buy the product? :)

Always brilliant to get this blogs and hear from the wonderful people behind the books! I hope Sen H.H.S. knows what a hit the lava otters have been in the community!!

This is a really great players guide, absolutely lovd the little paragraphs of context for the different recommended ancestries <3

Outside of PFS if a GM would not let you play a Centaur cause they’re Uncommon they probably weren’t going to let you play a Centaur even without Rarity.

"Probably" still leaves room open for GMs who would otherwise be perfectly fine with allowing uncommon or rare ancestries deciding not to allow it because of the rarity. I'm glad for all the players not fussed over this. For some of us, it's still a roadblock that takes away from fully enjoying the game.

As a GM I am thankful every day for rarity tags to empower and back me up with restricting things and I genuinely think they're one of the greatest boons to the system. Every time I see a player complain about them I am reminded exactly why we need them.

So we'll have ibuxis, which are lizardfolks... but not awakened lizards??? This is gonna get confusing XD Are catfolks and shoonies gonna be turned into awakened animals as well?

How is it gonna work?

No, Iruxi, Amurrans and Shoony are all their own distinct ancestry with their own cultures and history who just have some animalistic features and are not just like "cat who talks". They are separate from awakened animals who are literally animals that somehow gained sapience.

Kent Hamilton smashed it out the park again!!

Intensely excited, merfolk and awakened animals are something I've wanted for a long time and I adore the detail of the Surki only recently reemerging with the closing of the worldwound!

I also hope the Athamaru exist alongside the Locathah even if the latter needs a name change, i loved their 2e design.

FWIW I absolutely adored this way of revealing the new book and am very grateful for everyone who worked on it :D

We had a great time over on the pf2 discord trying to work out what it was leading too and were often ready at 5 for the drop haha

Yeah, the price barrier of this, (even charging for a lot of CRB options!) just makes it completely unusable, we already have great character builders, I already have all the pdfs. What exactly am I paying for here?

Looks like this is the first second edition AP to not have any articles in it.

Yup. That's a result of an adventure that was larger than expected plus the fact that detailing out 18 Harrow Cards from the deck in each volume ended up taking four pages more than expected as well. In a way, Stolen Fate kind of wanted to be a 6 part adventure (that would have let us do only 9 cards per adventure, sort of like how we did Crimson Throne, with each adventure mapping thematically to one of the 6 ability scores), so cramming all those themes into a 3 part one that went all over the world (it takes more words to detail places we don't have a lot of Lost Omens book coverage for, remember) meant that I had to trim out some of the potential backmatter articles.

I'm eager to hear from folks if this is a good thing or a bad thing, in fact. Do you prefer having one or two articles in the back to support the adventure? Or do you prefer an adventure-only volume like this one?

Personally I'm extremely sad about the lack of articles, I understand for practical reasons why they arent there but it's made this path a lot weaker for me as a result, to have so much space taken up by these cards.

The Vudra article in AoE, the Narakaas article in BL, the Mammoth Lord religions article in QftFF and the Holomog article in BL are some of my favourite things in 2e and likely wouldnt have easily fit in many other places. It would be a real shame to see them discarded

Close to tears at how excited I am about this, I've wanted playable centaurs for so long and this whole book just sounds delightful! Kent Hamilton continues to smash it and it's awesome to see some new names alongside some old in the author list!

Now.....whats the chances of penguins?

So they're Iruxi?

Sounds a lot like they are from Droon! :D

I'm wondering if these four wardens might be the four unknown elemental lords! With the Warden of Forests and Meadows being a wood one.

Will have to wait for the next installment of Grandmother's story to find out more!

Very excited!

will be perfect when I end AV AP. Will this also be available in a foundry module?

If nothing change until then, yes. The last word on foundry modules is "All new AP books as they are released, all other content will be as a case by case basis." (Paraphrased)

I can also confirm that the module work has started for this one so it is for sure happening.

Ecstatic to hear this! The modules really are fantastic

ahhhhh am I right to assume Jessica Catalan is responsible for my new must have item, the wand of the pampered pet? I am very grateful haha

Everyone did fantastic work on this book and I'm already working on implementing the new items into my games!! Thank you so much!

In Impossible lands, there is conflicting information on how long Imirh the Amaranthine has been the principle spiritforger.

On page 280 it says: "Dunn Palovar was only able to find
a suitable replacement in the last year."

But on page 285 it says "When the Amaranthine took the mantle, Iranez
presented him with one question both she and the Principle Fleshforger
want answered: who caused the Evisceration? They’ve been waiting 14
years now for his answer"

So did he get the position this year or 14 years ago?

Ah, my apologies! Should have double checked! I hope we continue to see them!
