Whelp, next ap confirmed?
freaking sweet
After Frostburn, I'm eager to see how this one ends up.

This book is going to be more like Lands of the Linnorm Kings (or any of our nation books, for that matter) than it would be like a hardcover rule book.
Of course. But I'm still interested in seeing how a certain creative director who is closely related to a certain author of Frostburn shapes an entire nation dedicated to winter. With Shel's work too :)
Ugh. If only this book had come out two years ago, I would SO have needed to have this!
Boy, do I miss the days when Paizo books were on the top of my wish list!
Sorry. I needed to vent.

This seems interesting. Ever since I got the description of Irrisen from Cities of Golarion I've been wanting more details on this strangely Russian-like land. All things considered though, I wonder what this implies...all of the Campaign Setting 64-page country books have, without fail (except for the city-specific ones, that is) touched upon AP that have been released alongside them, which, if true, means exciting things indeed. Ah, the cold north, how i love thee...
I like this, for sure
I do wish they would do another setting book about a specific locale like Darkmoon Vale
That was a great book.
Hopefully this one will have as many monsters and Isles of the Shackles book.

Have you had a look at Winter Witch?

Winter Witch is a freaking great book,
with a few great plot twists, I do recommend it.
Whelp, next ap confirmed?The only thing that is confirmed is that this book in the Campaign Setting line covers the nation of Irrisen.
I will take that as a cofirmation..

I hope this is more hints toward the "inevitable" Jim Groves Vikings vs Witches AP!
Nah, this summer's all about Worldwound/Mendev announcements (I hope!) That said, an Irrisen/Linnorm Kingdoms adventure path would be awesome.Well they are going to announce 2, one at PaizoCon and one at GenCon.2013 Season of the Witch!
Screw the ninjas. Vikings versus Witches! Blackravens on red alert! Support your local ice troll! Don't kid yourself, they're gonna frackin tear up the border along the Iceflow river!
Grandmother Winter is on a timetable, boys and girls. The jadwiga Elvanna know it, the ulfen know it, and anybody with 5 ranks of Knowledge (history) knows it!
Elvanna has already tested the waters of rebellion by (spoilers from the Witchwar Legacy) ** spoiler omitted **
The Linnorm Kings got calenders, they know what year it is!
Back in the early days of the Winter War, the ulfen traded kids for First World warriors and weapons! (Pathfinder Chronicles: Lands of the Linnorm Kings)
You got the rest of the jadwiga Elvanna making their own creepy plans, like Lady Tetra and her Iron Tooth project which looks suspicious like some kind of artifact doomsday bunker to hold over 1,000 people! (Cities of Golarion)
There's so many kick ass plotlines going on in and around Irrisen you can't shake a stick at all of them. This is the makings of a great AP.
Not to mention that the Artifacts and Legends book has a version of the Dancing Hut coming! Whoohoo!
I like Distant Worlds and Numeria too, but this is full of awesome, and I would be delighted to support those ideas AFTER an Irrisen AP.
NOTE: None of this comes from insider knowledge, just...
YESSSSSSSS
Yay! More Northern love!

Winter is coming :)
Count me in.
What I find odd, though, is that we get a Northlands book covering the Lands of the Linnorm Kings, Irrisen and the Mammoth Lords, too. Seems to me that there is a bit of an overlap.

That is a player options book. Archetypes, details on the races,equipmtent, traits, etc...
This is a gazetteer like Lands of the Linnorm Kings.
The more northern goodness, the better I say.
I also want a full Iobaria gazetteer... doubtful that one will happen though. I would also love to see a map that includes the tundra between the northern nations and the Crown of the World.
Ah, thanks. That detail escaped me.

Funny I was just yesterday looking through Vic's posts on his page for all the new product announcements, and was particularly wondering if this very product would be part of said announcements.
With Paizo Con around the corner, and the AP after Shattered Star coming to light, can we dare dream that Baba Yaga, her brood, and Dancing Hut are just over the frozen capped horizon?
Aww hells yeah.
Hopefully this one will have as many monsters and Isles of the Shackles book.
It promises a host of new icy monsters, so I hope that is evidence it will have a big super-long bestiary like the Shackles book
Yes! I love some winter theme and Irrisen as well. Is it December yet?

No. But winter is coming. ;)
Heh. I wonder if Paizo deliberately planned that month for this book's release. After all, in Irrisen, it's always winter, but never reaches Kuthona 25th.
(And although I was obviously kidding in that last sentence, I DO genuinely wonder if the December release date was chosen for that reason.)

I'll have a good sized one. It might not be as super sized, though. We've got lots of creepy locations and wintery dangers to cram in here.
Hope you're all brushing up on your Slavic mythology though!

As a Slav, I salute Slavic mythology! :) Although, be advised that there are Slavs and Slavs. What I want to say is that Eastern Slavs, such as Russians and Ukrainians have a different low-level demons than Southern Slavs, such as Serbs and Croats. For instance, Russians have Domovoy, a bath house demon, Croats have Domaći, a sort of Brownie-like being, and Serbs have Dragons, who are anthropomorphic. Also, vampires are very different in various mythologies. I could go on, but I suppose there is no need, right? :)

Agree, Slavic mythology should be used much more in the game, that's why Midgard is one of my favorite worlds.

Yay for more Slavic mythology! I'm more of a Brevoy/River Kingdom/Kingmaker guy myself, and that area uses a lot of Slavic history and myth in the sense of pre-Tatar Yoke Russia vibe, so this will be very useful to me.
And Serbs have anthropomorphic dragons? Is there anything online in English covering this? I'd love to see it.
And OT but am I wrong or are there 'Western Slavs' in the sense of being the Poles?
I'm guessing this will have a reprint of the Winter Witch archetype from Inner Sea Magic?
Why would it? This is a gazetteer, not a player companion. None of the gazetteers have player options.
Man, Irrisen and Mike Shel? His work is gold standard. This is fantastic news, whether or not Irrisen is featured in the next year's APs.
All hail Baba Yaga!

Seconding the plea for some links to online Slavic mythology material! The more I hear about the Slavic mythos, the more badass it seems -- also, reading loose source material before getting into the meat of a gaming product is a personal obsession. :D
