Thank you to all the wonderful authors and artists for sharing your work on Tian Xia with us, it's been sucha delight to read <3

Need to look into making a kaiju witch....

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!

Haha love that Ulthun and Wynsal are clearing spurring gossip not just in the fandom but in golarion too. Always excited for KoL content, looking forward to it!

I want to say I saw ... Luis Loza? Imply something about the god dying at the beginning of the war on either Reddit or Twitter. I don't remember if there was a clear link between 'beginning' and 'trigger'... Wait also tickling free a memory of a hint that may have been dropped here (by Jonathan?) on the forum in one of the f the Godsrain threads or the companion thread in the LO Canpaign Setting forum.

Sorry I can't pull up anything more specific, it's just break time here.

Luis compiled every hint he gave into one reddit thread here: Link which says "dying as part of" war of immortals, nothing about it kicking it off.

I also went through Jon's godsrain comments and saw nothing suggesting as much!

It's of course very possible that the god's death *does* kick off the war, but I still have not seen anything to suggest that has been confirmed

Nope! This has been commonly assumed and sometimes stated as fact by fans but we have had no official word on it.

I'm... pretty sure you're incorrect? I'm not saying that we've had any clear official pronouncements, but I could swear that I've seen something official where that at least followed pretty directly from what was said..

If you do find a source let me know! I could well be wrong but no one has provided me with a source yet haha

Something I’m wondering.

PC1 didn’t have Specific Familiars (which was odd, I thought that would’ve been the place to put it so that all familiars rules are in the same place).

And it isn’t mentioned at all in PC2. Which would mean, Specific Familiars are no longer core rules.

Did Paizo just remove Specific Familiars from Pathfinder 2e?

(Which is odd, because I thought Specific Familiars were a beautiful, elegant, and balanced design method.)

Specific familiars were introduced in the APG. Check out its product page and you'll see there is no mention of them there!

This is a big book, if something isnt mention in the small product blurb that doesn't mean it's "removed"!

Whoa! What are those things on the cover?? Super cool

The wooden creature is the Twins of Rowan, a wood elemental introduced in Rage of Elements!

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!!!

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!!

I wonder if it's a problem with subscribers outside the US and Canada. I know shops have struggled to get copies of the books in the UK so was wondering if it might all be tied up in that.

Fwiw, I'm UK and got my shipment on the 14th!

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

Last day of shipping, hopefully I get it today :')

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!

Guess no shipping today. Did the technical issues from generating orders push shipping back? Understandable if so.

Nope, I know someone who has already recieved theirs yesterday, they just dont post on this forum haha

Ahhhh what a brilliant players guide, it really gives you such a lovely sense of the town as well as setting expectations for what players and gms should bring and discuss! Very excited for the path!

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!!

Ahhh, thank you so much to the authors, was a fantastic book. The Baroness was a particular delight to read about, wonder if she'll show up in future!!!

Also big thank you to Shan for getting canon bi Cayden into your Trudd writeup haha

Getting a little nervous, if it is the case that shipping goes on longer, i hope we'll get notified :)

I'm still waiting too, so excited to dive into sky kings tomb! Hopefully soon

I've heard so many great things about this series. However, I can't find a Foundry VTT version. Am I missing it? Is the PDF to Foundry (PF2e) module the only option? The PDF to Foundry (PF2e) imported Beginner's Box gave me maps with big placeholder numbers in the center of rooms & images of monsters that had to be obscured. I mean, it's a great module but can only work with the materials it's given.

Yeah, the official modules made for foundry only started after Strength of Thousands, I'm currently running it on foundry and use pdf to foundry for it, definitely not as fancy as the official modules, which are excellent, but it is still very useful!

Ooooh this is fun, gonna go through and see how many I can work out.

Also, I actually made my own playlist a little while back for one of my favourite pathfinder gods, Arazni, which I'll share here too <3

Arazni playlist

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

Absolutely bonkers excited about how this ended!!!!!! One of my big hopes for 2e seems to be coming true!

I like how the 1e iconic shaman is on the cover for this. Is here little familiar there as well?

That is not Shardra, the cover dwarf just has some similar clothing/accessory design, presumably because it's fairly common in Highhelm!

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

Any word on when the Foundry module will be out?

It is already out and linked on the above product

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!

Any idea who the iconics are for this one besides seela and seroni

The book 2 cover seems to show Mios and Korakai, which makes a lot of sense with the themes!

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

Thank you so much for such an unequivocal stance on this, great to see

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?
