Acquisition of one format doesn't net you a discount on acquisition of a different format (with the exception of some subscriber benefits).
(You will find, though, that you've already received quite a substantial discount off of the list prices for the format you did acquire!)
So there will be 8 flip-mats for this one if my math is correct, cause for Thornkeep there was two mats since the first dungeon was too wonky for a mat of its own (which I hope won't be repeated...oh all the diagonals!)
I've been making the map for the first level... mainly the rooms and about 15 feet of hallway where appplicable, and it is HUGE. Measuring out the diagonals to get something close to dimentions has been time consuming. That said I think it's great and I can't wait to get The Emerald Spire in the mail.
I'm a bit confused by the first line of the description. Is this a mega-dungeon designed for PC"s STARTING at levels 1st to 13th or will this module take a group of 1st level PC's ALL THE WAY to 13th level?
So I'm guessing that due to the exceptional nature of this product it will not be part of the Modules subscription?
I'm really hoping that this fact just hasn't been added to the page!
Nope, it will not be part of the subscription, you can find this text in the product description above:
The Emerald Spire Superdungeon is not part of any subscription, but Pathfinder Module subscribers who preorder this book will receive a free PDF edition of this book when the print edition ships. (Note that you will need to have an active Pathfinder Module subscription at the time The Emerald Spire Superdungeon ships in order to receive the PDF for free.)
Essentially. As long as you have a Pathfinder Module subscription and have preordered the product, you will receive the free PDF version. The subscription needs to be active when the book ships to receive this benefit.
How close to the proper release date will the pdf become available for people who are receiving this from the Kickstarter? Will it be like any other product that provides the pdf when the physical book ships?
Will our miniatures ship with the print copies for those of us who supported the kickstarter? I added an add on pack of them as well.
Yes, was wondering this as well. I had several add-on packs for the minis.

Given that the Emerald Spire is in effect about as big as an AP, are we going to see an Emerald Spire Player's Guide at some point?
If I pre-order, will I be able to pick up my physical copy at PaizoCon?
In the past, we've had subscription pickup at PaizoCon, but this only applies to people with subscriptions and for subscription products only. Since Emerald Spire is not part of any subscription, pre-orders will not be sent to PaizoCon. However, we *may* have copies at the convention for sale.

Any chance of kickstarter backers seeing the PDF this mounth?
Yup! We're wrapping up a few odds and ends over here that effect its release, but backers should be getting this soon :)

.......eeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEE--! *head explodes*
Seriously, awesome news. This thing is the entire reason I contributed to the Kickstarter! :D
Will we have to wait 6+ months to get PFS sanctioned? I'm still waiting to play Wardens of the Reborn Forge and won't play it unless it PFS legal. It that's been out for 6 months.
Given Wardens of the Reborn Forge starts at 12th level and takes PCs to 15th, isn't that beyond the level range of PFS? I thought there was a strict twelfth level limit.

Steve: Yes and no. There are no PFS scenarios published above 12th level, but they sanction Paizo written adventures above 12th to be played as if they were PFS Scenarios. I have a character who got to 19th level by playing Academy of Secrets, Tomb of the Iron Medusa, Tomb of the Iron Medusa, Shattered Star book 6, The Witchwar Legacy, Rise of the Runelords book 6.

I'm guessing going from 1 to 13th in 16 dungeon levels that this module will be assuming fast track progression?
That's covered in a sidebar on page 21, but the short answer is yes, it assumes the fast progressions track.
That said, you can also use Emerald Spire as something players visit in-between doing other things (if they are on a slower progression and likely to clear lower levels faster than they level up to deal with the subsequent encounters), and it is designed to allow periodic trips more easily than many superdungeons I've experienced.

While nothing is impossible, I doubt it. Despite its size and unusual origin it's branded as part of the Pathfinder Module line, and those classically don't get player's guides.

I'm going to be helping to run this at a convention in July. Are there any blurbs about the first or second levels yet? And indication of character levels for the second (dungeon) level?
The second level is aimed pretty solidly at 2nd level characters, though a careful group of competent 1st level PCs could manage. If they didn't get too unlucky...
