Subscribers will begin to get access to their pdfs starting tomorrow, friday 17th of august and all of them should have received them by friday 24th.
Street date is august 29th.
The players guide will be available sometimes in between tomorrow and 29th.Personally i expect it either by the middle of next week or by monday the 27th.
Oh, ok.
:) Glad Paizo is back up. Back to waiting for my pdf :) Hopefully Monday I will get my shipping confirmation ^_^. I have been looking forward to this for the past 5 years. DM'd every runelords adventure path and looking forward to the finale.

Even then, it's a tight squeeze, and it's looking like unless I artificially inflate XP awards in the last adventure that PCs won't hit 20th level until the very end, just in time for the final encounter.That's very unfortunate. I'd really like to, for once, actually play a while at level 20, not just for the final boss fight. Though I suppose it would be easy enough to keep the PCs one level above the recommended and just toss an advanced template or two on everything.
I'm further into the last adventure and there's a LOT of XP to be earned. Most parties will be able to earn enough XP to do the final set of encounters and not just the last one at 20th level, but that depends as much on your GM giving out XP at the right time... if you only give out XP at the end of a session and your sessions run long, it might be tricky.

And that is why I've long done away with giving out XP and just tell the players to level up at the appropiate moments.
Yeah its a bummer this is shipping so late. It really should have been celebrated as a Gencon release, since Runelords are such an iconic part of pathfinder.
Now subscribers wont even have it in their hands by street date.

Some of us don't get their hands on it until well after the release dates anyhow. Subscribers will still get their PDFs on or shortly after release. It happens.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't or can't be disappointed by it. Part of the reason for subscribing is to make sure we get the materials. Part of the benefit for placing trust in Paizo by subscribing is that we get free pdfs when the item ships. Part of a subscriber's reasonable expectation is that this occurs ahead of the item's release date.
Sure, it happens. Doesn't mean we have to be happy about it.

I have my PDF. I'll be happy to answer some questions.

Kevin,
I assumed there was Time travel involved...
Also I too would it if Skeld answered our questions about the bestiary, CR and type.

Basic outline of the plot maybe?
The AP plot summary sounds crazy good if you're a fan of the Runelord-related APs and lore.

Nochlean, CR 3, CE Medium Fey (reminds me of a grey/tan goblin)
Runewarped Creature, CR +1, template
Warpglass Ooze, CR 2, N Medium Ooze (evil reflection thing)

where's the Player's Guide? It was supposedly on schedule before the site went down.

On schedule meant "on or around" the same time as the first chapter, so today, tomorrow, the next day, next week if the site goes down again, you know..... sometime.
Player's guide is in process, and will be out closer to the release of the first volume. As always for Player's Guides, please be patient.

The players guide should normally be out on the street date of the first volume of an AP at the latest.
Due to the site having problems and Paizo being notoriously understaffed since Starfinders development, i can see it coming out much later though.
I'm sure James & the Paizo crew are doing their best. :-)

Wrong.
We've got more employees working on Pathfinder than EVER before—Starfinder isn't understaffing us on the Pathfinder side of things.
The Player's Guide has been ready to go live for weeks, and it's the unfortunate website trouble that's delayed it (along with all other website related things)—NOT a shortage of editors or developers or anyone else on the editorial side of things.
Please don't assume that since we were late on the last one that we've always been late and always will be for Player's Guides.

This is not the place, but the bolded part of your statement is not the case. We've hired a number of people in the last 9 months or more, as noted in our New Faces blogs (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3).
In any case, the problems with the site have prevented us from getting the Player's Guide up sooner. As always, it will be available when we can get it out to y'all.

I just am glad that Paizo is one of the most engaged staffed companies I have ever had the chance to purchase from. I work in the IT field and understand things occur. I just keep looking forward to this as I love the first book of any adventure path. Especially the trilogy. Uniquely I saw that there is a template which makes me excited.
This is why people in WW kind of didn't like me for saying stuff about Scarred Lands...
But in the interim, I want to say I already like the bestiary stuff AND I look forward to seeing how this all plays out.
Finally if Adam likes it, you know it must be good. :)

Now that that's all settled, let's get back to some mild spoilers.
Skeld, which Runelords survived how?
Belimarius - Trapped in a time loop by accident.
Karzoug - Currently living in his mother's basement loudly complaining that she bought the wrong hot pockets.
Krune - Trapped himself in a soul gem on purpose.
Sorshen - Used a runewell to create a sheltered demiplane.
Xanderghul - Created his own demiplane without a runewell, thank you very much.
Zutha - Lich phylactery.
Which RLs are fought in which books?
Chapter 5 - Belimarius (maybe).
Chapter 6 - Alaznist.

Ok, I almost choked on my drink regarding Karzoug. :)

Ugh, reading the Runelord Legacy section and campaign outline section left me more anxious to get the remaining six parts than before. I had hoped that I could calm down a bit about that after reading the campaign outline, but nope.
That's going to be a long six months.

Infinite, cosmic power! Itty-bitty living space. LOL
Has everyone got their pdfs or is it still delayed from the website being down. The suspense is killing me!
Those of us with subscriptions (in my case, to product lines other than this one) could very well be waiting for spoilers from non-subscribers -- note that PDFs are available for direct sale now.

As for the runelords having story impacts...

Sorry, should have been more clear. I have the subscription, but haven't gotten any message for about 2 weeks about it. Wasn't sure if the website crash pushed me having access to the pdf back this far.

It seems that way; my subscription copy hasn't shipped yet, either.

Same here.
Ah well. It's not like I'm short of stuff to play at least :)
maybe I'll get lucky and will get the pdf just in time to read over the long weekend
