The International League of Overseas Paizo Customers Who Don't Have Any LGS Nearby would like to file a complaint. Where do we send it ?
You just did.
This means that you'll need to either:
1) Wait for someone who DOES have a nearby LGS to post the list online somewhere, or...
2) Wait for us to post the Table of Contents or something like that here on the blog. Which, now that the poster is out in the wild, I hope we'll be able to do here soon.

Also... Mark's comment about sending the letter to a local game store that you'd like to see start carrying Pathfinder is a good one... but far from a perfect one.
I grew up in a part of the world where the closest thing I had to a "local" game store was a two hour drive away. So I can CERTAINLY empathize with folks who are frustrated by not being able to go to a local store to see the poster. All I can say to them is that the book and the PDF are both less than a month away from being out, and that as I just posted I'd LOVE to put the book's TOC up online as a blog post soon.
We're also working on getting an unfolded version of the poster up for sale at a very reasonable price.
Hyrum.

Actually, I would love to pitch PF to the stores in my town, but I am painfully aware that they stock Stuff That Sells, and without Polish translation and a major marketing muscle, Pathfinder remains a niche system in my country.
However, I am hard at work converting a local RPG club to abandon all those post-modernist L5Rs and WoDs and go back to good old dark dungeons and deadly dragons. So perhaps, someday ...
Meanwhile, GIEB POSTER (and please, a shaky photo from SKR's phone won't do) :)

Am I reading the pricing right? The PDF is only $9.99? That seems off considering the hardbound is $39.99.Paizo has a "hardcover PDFs for 10 bucks" policy on since a year or so :)
Yep enough a friend of mine only buys the PDF's and loads them up on a laptop. He brings it to games to be his gaming book. He figures at this point the money he saved by buying PDF's instead of the books has nearly paided for his cheap laptop.

Hyrum.
Poster-collecting folks like me would say "rolled," not "unfolded," as the latter term implies a poster that has been previously folded. The ones we'll be offering from paizo.com will be rolled and shipped in tubes, having never been folded--unlike the ones you may find on display at game stores, which have been folded.

So will you actually be offering them, the promo poster, for sale or free from Paizo for those of us that can't get one from a LGS?
Even if it's only sort of reasonable, absolutely get it up. I need another reason to give the company even more of my money.
Yeah... I agree... Paizo doesn't own enough of my soul yet! -^^-
Doing some searches and, surprisingly, has yet to see anyone with that poster list the monsters on it for us to see...darn it. ><
Just for my edification, what are we looking for as far as pre-orders of this? Mid December? Late December? I'd like to know so I can make sure the credit card is ready for the hit. I keep seeing this and the demon book in my pending queue.

I would like to know if the early January street date is good as well. I am possibly starting a new campaign at that point and I would love to have this when I do.

Yep... we sent folded posters to retail stores for their promotional use only, and we've reserved rolled versions of that same poster for sale here at paizo.com in the near future. It's the same thing we did with the Pathfinder RPG Launch Poster last year.

As always, things are subject to change until we actually have books in the warehouse, but as long as nothing changes, we're currently hoping to start shipping subscription copies and preorders in a little over a week, with a retail release date about two weeks after that.

Thanks Vic. Just in time for my campaign if all goes well.
Why give it to Paizo? My lord, Almighty Asmodeus, can surely offer you a better deal!Even if it's only sort of reasonable, absolutely get it up. I need another reason to give the company even more of my money.Yeah... I agree... Paizo doesn't own enough of my soul yet! -^^-
Lawl! I'm more of a Desna fan myself.

I am proud to say I JUST picked up the Promotional poster from my FLGS. From what I saw of it.. I have to say it is freaking awesome. It has pictures of every creature in the Bestiary 2 with a check box next to it... (at least I think it is every creature, though not sure.) :)
Regardless it is pretty cool :)
Removed excessively snarky post.
Howzabout we instead ask nicely for a Bestiary 2 critter list? :)

We'll all be your best friend forever if you type that list up for us, you know. Think of the service you will be doing for your fellow gamers! The finger pain will be temporary, but the feeling of joy will last forever!

How many inevitables? Dragons? Fey? Giants? They don't have creature types listed, do they? Probably not...
So just give us the names! Uh, please? lol

Well ignoring the one snarky comment from the unknown poster...
Everyone else is getting their wishes. I bring to you the coveted list of creatures as listed on the poster in alphabetical order. Boy do you all owe me big! :)
There is a lot of typing... not to mention I had to HAND write them all in to my notepad first so that I would not wreck the poster trying to do it at my desk hehe.
List to follow!! :) (Typing it separately)

Hope you all enjoy, Sorry I could not give you all the images that came with the names too. Man they are incredible and if I were you and you have access to a FLGS... I would CALL them and reserve one if they are not in yet and if they are in already insist that you get one hehe :)
Good Luck and enjoy.
Thanks!
Blindheim!? Heh.
I thought Carrion Crawler was off limits. Can't keep 'em straight without a scorecard.

Why? He saved us the trouble of having to write it.eeek!...Deanoth, if I was you I would prepare for your banishment into the aether.. ;)
Because of what threat James Said to the last poster that was asked to... ;)

Big List
You are a scholar and a gentlementleman.
Akata
Hells yes. Hoping the full life cycle is supported.
Aranea
We haven't seen them turn up in the Pathfinder setting yet, have we? Despite them being one of the major worshippers of that goddess of illusions? Interested in how they've turned out.
Catoblepas
Glad to have the Eeyore of the monster family back on board.
Charybdis
Mightly curious about how this one has been translated into a creature.
Crawling Hand
<3
Dark Slayer
Is the Dark Folk family finally growing? Very curious about this one.
Forlarren
Favorite fey from the Tome of Horrors. Have to wonder if the daemonic heritage has been switched to demonic on account of the setting specifics... It just seems to make more sense to me, what with all the rage fits.
GAR
Most badass entity in the book. Calling it now.
Gray Render
I know some folks that will probably rage when they see this fella again.
Grippli
Tree Frog people!
Handmaiden Devil
I admit this one made me do a doubletake. Curious.
Howler
Yes. Lot of pleasant memories of Pandemonium relating to these.
Keketar
These guys have really grown on me.
Lamia Matriarch
Glad to have these back.
Mercane
Witchwyrd
Very curious about how these two correlate.
Mobat
This is familiar. I can't remember what they were though...
Monadic Deva
Movanic Deva
<3
Monkey Swarm
Neh-Thalggu
Oh crap aren't these the brain extracting pain addict guys? Like the Ur-Quan minus the empathy?
Nightcrawler
Nightwalker
Nightwave
Nightwing
Aweso...wait...
Nightwave
Petitioner
Very mixed feelings about this. Just something I've never been sure about setting in stone. Waiting to see how it looks though.
Pugwampi
>:(
Revenant
Rune Giant
Old favorite, and glad to see the Rune Giants back too.
Scylla
I really do want to see how she's been done here.
Shining Child
OH GOD (if I'm remembering how they looked the last time I saw them...)
Skulk
<3
Slithering Tracker
Oh crap. The Spy of oozes.
Star Archon
Well I'm curious.
Thunderbird
Oh @#$% yes.
Nerreid
Oread
Pech
Sylph
Undine
YASE.
Urdefhan
Oh geez, those guys.
Wood Giant
Nice. Just in time for me too...
Yrthak
Aces. I always thought the Yrthak was the the new addition to the monster family in 3rd Edition that most had that crazy old edition feel to it.
Really looking forward to this book.
...
Where's the Dullahan?!
Thanks very much--it looks great! One quick question for James et al, though. What happened to the dulhallan? It was in the two-page spread preview we got, but not on the poster. Did it get cut? Was the art not in when the poster was made?
Great googily-moogily! Immonna die and go to monster heaven!
-TG

They look like green spiders with a very toothy type of maw that looks more like a lampreys mouth on the front of the face instead of on the bottom :)
Not sure if it has brain sucking type of qualities or not... :)

It is added to the list now :)
Awesome.
Any new Azatas in the mix labelled as such? We have new Archons, Angels, and now Agathions showing up...

It's sounding like them... :O
The categories weren't called out--there were demons and inevitables I recognized, as well as devils and daemons not in a lump sum.

The order is typed out as listed on the poster. I did not bother to try and categorize them at all.. It would have taken a lot more time not to mention having to break out other Monster Manuals and the like to try and figure out the new ones or ones I was not familiar with.
So Alphabetical is what we got :)
Blinkdog
BOOSH! YES! That confirms me getting this... <3!
