It's okay, Hastur only comes out when you say "Hastur" three times. Hastur won't appear on the first mention.
Speaking of saying a creatures name three times I would like to see a monster with the personality and abilities of Beetlejuice.
Well if we are getting Hastur and Cthulhu then what will be the third old one, Bokrug, Mhar, or Xhamen-Dor.
If the release date is the 30th then subscribers would get it 7-8 days earlier so it wouldn't be next week.I think Paizo lost control of their shipping goblins again. This usually happens every time a popular Pathfinder hardcover is about to get released.
Yup, I seem to recall them stating in another thread that it could take them up to two weeks to get all of this month's subscription orders shipped, so holding back the public release of the book until end of the month makes sense.
I think James has said that Mhar and Xhamen-Dor are too tied into Golarion for a setting neutral book
My guess would be Bokrug, or they negotiated with Chaosium for Ithaqua or something similar.

Nylarotep in the guise of the Black Pharaoh would be terrifyingly awesome ....

Actually this is according to Sara Marie and her monthly message to subscribers and the like in the Customer Service section of the forums!!
So no... it would NOT be 7-8 days earlier as Dragon78 mentioned. But as early as NEXT week. Getting the shipping notice and the ability to download it could come as early as next week as well depending if anyone got their shipping notice yet.
Dragon78.. so no I am not BSing anyone :)
Nylarotep in the guise of the Black Pharaoh would be terrifyingly awesome ....Nyarly would be a full god, and thus beyond mere stat blocks.
I know Nyarl is a full god, but both in Golarion and in Lovecraft's works, Nyarl "visits" planets in various forms, just because he can.
Maybe the Black Pharaoh is a CR 30 Old One and destroying it just sends Nyarl's consciousness back into the Dark Tapestry until it feels like creating a new mask to wear among mortals.

Ok here is the official Paizo shipping information for subscribers. Just as an FYI :)
The thread itself can be found here...✪ October Subscription Shipping ✪.After a fairly quiet September, October is near and with it are lots of new releases! It's shaping up to be a pretty big month with both a card game release and a hardcover release. Currently we estimate the main Paizo subscription shipment to take about two weeks to ship to all of our subscribers. We are making preparations in both customer service and the warehouse to help handle the higher workload. Comics are out a bit earlier than the main Paizo Subscription shipment and for those who choose to "ship as soon as possible" they will be shipping prior to the main shipment.

So while someone might have seen something or other in another thread or two.. this is the official answer. It has not really been pushed back or anything. This is normal though for something like this with alot of stuff coming out as mentioned :)
It would be kind of funny if one of the PCs was a Cleric of Hastur (or any spell-granting evil deity) and they end up fighting him. One of two things could happen...
A) The deity cuts off his power
B) The Cleric betrays his party
EDIT: Also, how is it that Madness is not one of Hastur's domains?
Hastur looks awesome, but please tell me that creature isn't gargantuan but just Normal or Large.
I kinda dislike a creature you can summon by calling it sname 3 times and then some that crushes the entire building shows up.
I'm also not a fan of bigger than gargantuan creatures so if its colossal i'm already done with it.
So has anyone gotten there "will be shipping soon" email yet?
I doubt it'll happen until tomorrow. They need to get their auth process done first, and the current estimate for that is tonight.
Authorizations began on Friday, as expected. At least, I got my "in the next week or so" email on Friday.

are you kidding, I wish their was something even bigger like super colossal!
Then you would love the Oliphaunt of Jandelay, standing thousands of feet tall.
Lucky, I haven't gotten mine and didn't expect to get it till this Friday when they changed the release date to the 30th. But if that is the case then some lucky people will be getting there pdf this week after all.

I'm so glad there is pokemon Y, so I can wait relaxed while playing pokemon (lol) and then it will be bestiary time in no time and no spoilers cuz pokemon keeps me buzzy.
are you kidding, I wish their was something even bigger like super colossal!
I'm creating my own pathfinder pawns for private use, and colossal and bigger ones I have no use for.
I'm just not like other people, most people like colossal things, I like them small, medium, large and huge..
Sadly I haven't gotten my email yet. Gotten remain patient!
Sorry, but I saw the Bestiary 4 first! You can't marry it!!
What about a polyamorous (wrong as Latin+Greek is) religious-civil <insert number of customers here>-way union?
That way it's still intimate, can be quite a clean and safe environment, and yet still let that openness and freedom be explored!
... nah, fight it out. In jello. (With whipped cream.) Pix, pls.
(Water balloons are optional.)

Okay cool. I got my email. Now to play the waiting game :)
So people that not get the PDF get it today? Please say no. I want them to suffer like I have, not getting the book before the 30th of october.
This is just the confirmation email that it'll get charged to my account. Chances are, the subscribers will get their PDFs later this week, if not early next week.
Don't worry. As soon as I get my copy, I'll be sure to describe it here in excruciating detail just for you :D
Sorry but you can download your subscriber PDF as soon as the book ships, certainly well before the 30th. And I anticipate having the dead tree version in my hands before then too :)
What Odraude said :)
ELOHIM DETAILS PL0X PL0X PL0X PL0X
Ménage à trois?I can barely manage myself.
...
wait
Let me rephrase the above. I only got my email confirming that it's set to be charged to my account. It'll still be a bit before I get my PDF.
Sorry :(
Ah, and Voiuvre with old artwork, not that there was anything wrong with it.
Nice try dirt-bag-full-o-teeth. Not falling for it. :p
And that old art isn't doing Vouivre any good, it will never be peoples favorite with that artwork.

Meeeeehhhh, some of us are still waiting for our confirmation mails.
<shakes fist> :)
I'm sitting patiently by the PC all day today, cause the second I get an order number I need to make a post requesting a change and am a bit nervous it could get sent out before I get the chance otherwise.
<glues eyes to screen and checks email repeatedly>
Oh, stats for Earth Ponies. Guess Paizo will get the other pony variants in Bestiary 5, sneaky sneaky!
Also, the way Cthulhu really looks like will blow Mikaze's mind. Those garters and suspenders, who would have thought?
Ah, and Voiuvre with old artwork, not that there was anything wrong with it.
I'm imagining a good Cthulhu with loving parents that's simply misunderstood now ;)
He just wants a hug.
I got my "will be shipping in the next week or so" email around 2:30am.
Woohoo! Got my order confirmation. Hopefully I'll have my shipping email by the end of the week. Last time only took three days or so, so finders crossed it'll happen again.
This and Blood of the Moon are the books I'm most excited for.
got my notice for this and Demon Heresy. Demon Heresy should be a nice PDF read until the hardcopy of bestiary arrives...
I hope I get my PDF by Thursday.
Ok, finally i'm seeing a LOT of monsters I had wished for!
Alpluachra! Tikbalang! JACK O LANTERN!!!!
Jeez I love that art!
Next week ARGUS in the bestiary 4 preview! COOL!
Dragon78 is gonna HATE that Alpluachra, he wanted the little fairy type :-p I love this parasite version!
the Transformer reference sounds more like a hint for the Colossi

?? where do you see that?

Final line of the latest preview blog:
"That’s all for this week. Next week, we will close out our look at Bestiary 4 with a foe that is more than meets the eye!"
More than meets the eye is a recurring line from the Transformers theme song. My immediate thought on reading that was that it would be Colossi.
It must be colossi then, argus is of course more for people like me, that like alternate things and uncommon original things.
Colossi is more like a charizard/wolverine/scorpion & sub-zero/Ryu monster that attents the big crowd.
Anyway i'm happy the tooth fairy had a chance to shine.

Our Carrion crown game is going to be leaps and bounds better.

The Colossi are supposed to be constructs that can transform into things. There is one that transforms into a castle and sounds a lot like Alexander from FFIV. Has nothing to do with Charizard or Wolverine. Though your attempts to belittle people are, as usual, adorable Sincubus.
If it is an Argus though, I hope they make him a titan. Makes sense.
