Beta would be my guess since its scheduled in July and the new rules com out in august, yet it has "Designed specifically for the new Pathfinder Roleplaying Game rules and designed by the new game’s primary designer" in it
or Bulmahn...
Yes, this looks like the Keep on the Shadowfell of PFRPG. For some reason, though, I have more faith that this will be a good adventure than I had for the other, though.

Dudes, it's "B1" just like In Search of the Unknown. No sense of history I tell ya!
So, B for Beginner. 'Cause it's a campaign starter adventure.

Will I get to fill in empty dungeon rooms with my own monsters and traps like In Search of the Unknown?
OOO, a new classification. I wonder what B is for?
It stands for "Ooooh, I thought you said 'Bathfinder.'"

James Jacobs gave the answer here:

This is, in my opinion, the most fitting description so far!

Anyway, this sounds like a classic hook for a 1st level adventure, can't wait to see the final result!
When James poped into the chat to tell us they were putting up the new product descriptions I asked and he said it was for...
Boffo?

B2 should be 'Keep in the Cinderlands'. hehehe.
Maybe he was contrasting?
B is for Buhlman!, that's good enough for me...
I'm curious why a 1st level adventure for the new system is full price instead of the "suck em in" $5.99 like Crown of the Kobold King

I'm guessing that you mean $5.00 for D1.5 Revenge of the Kobold King? That is going for that price because
1) it is shorter and2) it was originally printed as a free give-away for free-RPG day, and they are just selling the left overs.

Yep—both of those were 16-page modules produced for Free RPG Day. (This year we're doing the Pathfinder RPG Bonus Bestiary instead of an adventure.)
Crypt of the Everflame is a full-length 32-pager.
This is one of the best covers for modules line. Very nice.
Just out of curiosity, does the premise of youngins' going on their coming-of-age adventure require that all the PCs be native characters of the same age? Does this town support all the races the average group of gamers is going to want to play?
The set-up sounds kind of limiting so I was going to give this module a pass, but as the first part of a wicked cool sounding trilogy, I wanted to give it another look and see if there was more room for adaption than I'd thought.
Thanks.

Look at the official playtest thread in campaign journals section. There are characters of wide age range.
Cover looks sweet. I like the new look/layout giving more space for the picture. It looks a little less "signature" without the solid color at top and bottom from the vertical stripe artwork or the older diagonal stripe artwork, but it gives more room for the awesome artwork and you guys have some awesome artwork. I'm just saying.

Sold.
It might take some goading to get my players to go along with the idea of being total newbies, but the pillows alone are worth it.
So are the pregens always the same in these (Valeros, Kyra, Merisiel and Seoni)? Or is there a chance that they'll throw in some of the newer iconics? It seems like most of the modules I've ever bought are just the standard Runelords heroes.
Not even going to get into how the iconics ended up growing up in Kassen...not even going to. But I mean...really?
Anyhow, I'm mostly just curious what iconics to expect since I'm buying the adventure to get the pregens written out using the new rules so I can use them for a release day game (so we can jump right into the game without the hassle of chargen).
EDIT: Okay so reading some of the playtest gives me some insight as to how to adapt the module to folks who aren't from Kassen...though still it seems weird that established adventurers from other lands would ever be welcome to partake in what seems clearly to be a rite of passage for their late adolescent townfolk. But at least in the playtest it seems like a fair workaround...
Also it makes me wonder if we're looking at this particular list of Iconics, or if the actual book will go back to the traditional four?

Except they're not established adventurers. 1st-level Valeros, Merisiel, Ezren et al. have 0 XPs, just like any other 1st-level character. When they start at 1st level, you just have to ignore their backstories.

You don't even need ignore their backstory....you just expand on it, bringing their history up to Kassen. Just read Kyra Sief al Kiraan's profile. By doing this, Kyra became MY character, not just a copy of the iconic, and certainly not the same Kyra that found her way to Sandpoint.

I've seen different ones, but most of the early ones only had those because those where the only ones with stats for a good while.
I'm excited about this module, hope to get a chance to run it sometime soon.
We usually pick different iconics for every module. Crypt's are Ezren, Kyra, Merisiel, and Valeros.
