I demand more Lem.
Preach it big boy!
If I have any say in it, I'd like to spend some time with that oracle-girl. And Valeros is always fun to have around.
Balazar, alas, has 2 strikes against him.
1) He's Small sized, which makes it tricky for scaling problems—artists often forget that gnomes and halflings are half-sized.
An excellent reason to replace Lem with Ameiko as the iconic bard!
Or at least get Ameikos artwork in high resolution up somewhere? <beg> :p

SECONDED!
err... +1, as I guess all the popular kids seem to say these days.

When is poor Balazar gonna get some screen time? I would have thought he had it locked up with his Fu Manchu look. Maybe the next AP if the ship's junk-rigged?The iconics for Jade Regent are Sajan, Feiya, Lini, and Hayato (the iconic samurai).Wow, impressive and beautiful cover.
I hope we get to see that picture in high resolution on the blog, both Ameiko and the background picture. :)Who will be the iconics, besides Sajan and Feeyah?

2) He's got a weird eidolon that doesn't really have a "place" in the world. We don't have many chicklizatrices out there.
THAT SAID...
Rob's in my office RIGHT NOW and he wants to put Balazar in the Skull and Shackles AP... so stay tuned!
And then he said, "Aaaahhh... I don't know... maybe that would be too goofy..."
Is this a stealthy announcement of the final title (from what I heard coming out of the weekend, the 10th AP was "Skull and Bones")
When will the player's Guide for Jade Regent be available for download?

As with the rest of our Adventure Paths, we hope to have it available right around the same time the first part is released, so check back closer to August!
Now I'm as huge of a WAR fan as anyone else, but what happened to Sajan's right ribs. They look distended, dislocated, or something.
Still freaking awesome though.

Having enjoyed some long-time exposure to "modernized" traditional japanese music, I can absolutely imagine a shamisen playing bard that inspires courage, competence, awesomeness and all-out badassery.
That link is really good and lively!

All of the Yoshida Brothers albums are on rotation in my gaming playlist...especially if it was for my Minkai/Rokugan games. :D

I'm guessing early as July 28th to as late as August 10th

Thanks, 3.5L & Lilith! Viera-casting right now from Pandora. Completely new to me.
Got some big plans to start this. Will actually begin with Rise of the Runelords, first book, then jump into this. The first runelords game was actually run quite badly in my larger game group, very inflexible dm, huge pc casualties, two tpks, Sandpoint people came across as real d****. Sandpoint cleric left a player to die from Varghoul infection.
So yeah, start again, connect books, bam. Supplement the goblins with a Shoanti tribe in cahoots. A visiting Chelaxian trade vessel. Start players at level 2 so as to make the combats initially more interesting.
I hope it arrives in the Wizards Tower (local game store, Ottawa, Canada) at the same time as the Ultimate Combat does, and it arrives in late July or the first week of August.
Hey, what are the odds that it will be in stores first week in August, not last week of July?

Hey, what are the odds that it will be in stores first week in August, not last week of July?Considering that GenCon is the street date, rather high.
Yep—late July is when we will begin shipping subscriber copies and preorders. The retail release date is August 4 (the first day of Gen Con).

So I will be checking out the Wizards Tower first week in August 4 (or as late as the 10th) for the Book.
I hate waiting,
and why does it feel like time is getting exponentially slower?
That's cause I cursed you with slow time.I hate waiting,

That doesn't sound very succubus-like. I'd have guessed something more along the lines of making things happen too fast.

He is suffering from things being slow, plus slow multi round kisses are better.

It is always better for the succubus if things happen more slowly for others while she can achieve her goals more quickly. Turning things the other way around simply won't do for The Dark Mistress.

I think it is a "Slow Time Dialation" and not your "Succubus Touch of Doom."
This Slow Time Dialation gives me eternal life, abit slow mo. It is always give and take in this universe, which is good for the balance of things.
And don't try the kisses, the secrets I hold, give me immunity to them and could reflect them onto their source.
So has the Jade Regent Player's Guide been released yet? If not, do we have a date for that?
I've looked, but a search under 'Jade Regent Player's Guide PDF' turned up nada.
Thanks all!

Not yet.
But I got my "shipping soon" notification last night. We'll see which comes first!

We're starting a campaign in august or so, so we're faced with the difficult choice of picking between a known good AP or this unknown-but-possibly-super-awesome AP. Very tough choice...
Any advice?
Speaking as a GM: I recommend that the entire AP is IN HAND and thoroughly digested before beginning the game.
Speaking as a player: I recommend that the entire AP is in the hands of the GM before beginning.
Reasons: For a GM to have a rough outline of the entire scope of the AP is great. For a GM to have a DETAILED outline of the AP is better. For a GM to have read, digested and then tailored the AP to his players is best.
Just my 2cp.
The iconics for Jade Regent are Sajan, Feiya, Lini, and Hayato (the iconic samurai).Wow, impressive and beautiful cover.
I hope we get to see that picture in high resolution on the blog, both Ameiko and the background picture. :)Who will be the iconics, besides Sajan and Feeyah?
Oh? I thought that the pre-gen iconics were being done away with for purposes of space conservation.

She does that when you fail to subscribe to Adventure Path. Perhaps you should? I'm told it's really worth it.

Their stat blocks have been done away with, but the art orders will still use four iconics for each AP for a sense of visual continuity throughout the AP.

Why would you actually Want immunity to 'kisses' from the Dark Mistress?
But, why?

Right there with ya.

Seconded
Will the Jade Regent Player's Guide be available at the end of this week?

I would assume it'll go live the first week of August (maybe the 4th?), similar to the timing with the previous APs.

Yeah, it's confirmed: shamisen is a source of awesomeness.
Has anyone received the PDF yet? I see it is available in print... am I reading that wrong?
It is shipping to subscribers, and I have it.

What if it came out this Weekend?
James did say "VERY soon." in another thread asking about the Jade Regent Players guide
I wish by "VERY soon" he meant "NOW!".
I'm juggling between two characters to play in the Adventure Path and I gotta see the traits! Specifically the one that was leaked, if memory serves, as playing a relative to Ameiko. Must. See. Now. OMG.

I downloaded the file this morning and although I have now read the adventure (as I'll be playing in this one) I did take a quick look at the map which was unusually separate from the module itself.
What more can I can I say but WOW! Nice choice to have the map with a no text button and Player version button all within the PDF. Fantastic. Keep that up!
*desperatly pounding F5*
This talk of an interactive map excites me.
