Announced! Cover image is a mockup and subject to change.
Note to self: make sure we change the title on the box from "Island of Empty Eyes" to "tempest Rising" before we ship this to the printer...
Hah! :D
Will these new cards have the same top/right corner as the first game?
Say you're like me and use white card boxes with sleeves and the box falls and cards fly everwhere... Will you be able to tell the difference between ROTR Set 2 and S&S Set 2?

They have already confirmed the the top left part of the cards will vary. Current set says Rise of the Runelords, if you look at the cards. So in this way you should be able to tell them apart.
Product image and description updated.
This deck's listing on Amazon says "not yet released", and has an availability date of July 7 2015. What's that about?
Is there some reason why it seems every supplier takes forever to get these products? I pre-ordered on amazon end of October and it still hasn't even shipped yet. My local comic/game store doesn't get them till at least a month after the site says its released. Should I just buy them here?
Well, if you subscribe from Paizo, you'll get the promo cards too. Which is nice. You also have a good chance (though not a guarantee) that you'll receive them before they are for sale anywhere else.
As to your more general question of why they show up when at other retailers, I get the impression that is an issue more related to the retailer and the distributor.
It might be that a retailer only gets orders from a distributor on a certain day of the month. Or it might be that the distributor didn't purchase enough from Paizo to fill all their orders right away. The only way to know would be to ask the retailer and the distributor.
I will say that I've seen them show up some places on pretty much the exact street date. So I don't think it is an issue for every single retailer. But why it is an issue for the retailers you mention, I can't say.
Amazon never seems to get the release quite right for Paizo products. Probably in about a week it will be available.
Weird. I ordered the entirety of Rise of the Runelords via Amazon and never had any problem. Must've just been lucky. Or maybe it just went more smoothly because those decks were further apart...
Anyway, thanks for the reply. Looks like it's finally updated (even though the title of the product listing says "December 23rd" and then the order field says "in stock December 14th" LOL sheesh)
