Question #1: Pre-ordering now will I be charged now or just when it is shipped?
If that's a problem for you/budgeting, I am an advocate of buying a Paizo.com gift card, applying it to your account and allowing the order to use that as its payment option.

Questions on the "updates" to the rules within it:
1) Are these direct conversions (3.5 Fighter -> PF Core Fighter) or we going to see expanded rules sets within core be utilized (i.e. Archetypes, Non-Core Rulebook Feats/Spells, Etc.)
2) If we are seeing expanded rules sets utilized, any hints as to what we might see? Occult content? Unchained? Golarion specific rules options?

Wow. Yeah. Gotta have this. My wife and I tore through the original CotCT AP in about a month, back when it was fairly new.
I *WAS* planning to cancel my AP sub after Hell's Vengeance, but if I want this in print and PDF, I'm better off extending my sub a couple more months! (Between the AP sub discount and the free PDF!)
Good play, Paizo. 8^)

I'm running this with my group currently and may miss out, but I'd be curious to know the answer to this. I've taken things further than just direct conversions, like making Grey Maidens Order of the Lion Constable Cavaliers. Also have converted a certain boss into an occult class. So it's definitely possible with some invention. Depends on how sacred they think the source material is, I suppose.

You went through an entire AP in a month?! :-O
It took us at least two years to complete CotCT!

As with Runelords, my philosophy for updating it is to maintain and retain... don't change things unless it makes absolute sense to change things.
1) They are in almost every case direct conversions, but several of the elements introduced during Crimson Throne (be they character options like the Thunder and Fang feat or the chase rules, etc.) have since become part of the game's rules and will, of course, still be part of the campaign.
2) The expansions to the AP are more in the nature of story expansions rather than rules expansions... but there are a few new things in there that expand on elements throughout the currently available rules.

We spent pretty much every waking moment (outside of work, etc.) playing that. Those two characters just "clicked" so well we couldn't stay away. 8^) (Okay, it might have been closer to two months, but still...)

That's still pretty impressive. I'd think that's a record.

Any quick sanctioning for PFS?
I expect this will get the same treatment as Rise of the Runelords received: six Chronicle sheets, one corresponding to each of the original volumes. Any additional backmatter will receive the usual consideration regarding whether it should be incorporated into the campaign.

Announced at GAMA Trade Show and now available for preorder! Cover is very close to final, but may change when we go to print. Description is not final.
And now we know why James got pulled off Strange Aeons. I hope Shattered Star, Second Darkness and one to two more of the older paths (I hope either Carrion Crown, Serpents Skull or Skulls and Shackles) go this way in a year or two. I love that you guys update them and add some new material. Great call!

Sounds good! I got both the Deluxe special of Rise of the Runelords and the standard hardcover of it as well, which look fantastic next to the 1st print run of the orginial AP volumes. Figured I would check before offering my bank account as offering to the purple golem.

I'd personally like Legacy of Fire and Second Darkness before they revisit any of the actual Pathfinder APs. The 3.5 ones should get priority imo.

Lol, we all know you got pulled off of Aeons to supervise and help with this or Shattered Star or Second Darkness. Hopefully all of these will go the same route, along with a few other older APs that are popular (say Carrion Crown that would be great with Investigator classes and some new baddies).

I wouldn't hold my breath for any PF-era APs to be done like this. That would be suicide for Paizo.

Don´t hold your breath for other updates. James said as much in another thread. IF this happens at all, my guess would be that it would be the remaining two 3.5 APs, nothing newer.
