<blinks> You have access to downloads already?
I think I got that in one or two other products, come to think of it. Maybe I should go back and check to see which ones.
TOZ is a Society Super GM/VentureDude.
It's a perk of the job.
:( I don't have it yet sadly :(
I'm glad this is coming because I had to delay my Rulebook, AP and adventure line to get the 15% discount with 4 lines. SO then it's got to get to NZ, but at least I will have the PDFs soon!
Will the downloads for this be available once the product ships? Or will we have to wait for the actual release date like the core rule book?
You should get your download as soon as your order ships. The CRB was a special case due to the 2E launch.
That’s what I’d though, but couldn’t find that confirmation anywhere I looked. Which was obviously the wrong place to search
Are there any new ancestries and/or heritages in this book?

Are there any new ancestries and/or heritages in this book?I think it's only new thematic Backgrounds for the regions, and a new Archetype for each region.
But in October you'll get the Character Guide, and that's going to be filled with new heritages and four new ancestries and nearly 100 new ancestry feats.
Just three new ancestries: Hobgoblin, Leshy, and Lizardfolk.
I just got access to the PDF as a subscriber, but there is only the "one file per chapter" download. I hope we will get a single file version as well.
Is there any word on what parts of this are legal for PFS2? Or a link to an additional resources page for second edition Society?
I haven't heard of any update but ultimately you'll find that information on the PF2 society page under "Character Options" (click).
I imagine the page will get updated before or around the street date.

Thank you so much for the info and especially the link! You are my favorite kind of person!

Just warning you, even with the 15% discount you are paying more thanks to the shipping costs than if you bought the book online and bought the pdf from the site. (although you do get pdfs earlier)
Not that I don't want to support Paizo, just that I have found that their products get to me a lot later and cost a huge amount to ship from this site (even compared to smaller indie rpg teams).
I expect "One File Per Chapter" will remain the default until next week.
Any comment on the maps from those who have the PDF? Are they all redone? Anything strikingly new?

What do you mean by "redone"?
Maps in the adventure:
The inside front cover has a map of the tree city of Akrivel. There's a half page hex map for exploration of a 100-mile wide region of the Mwangi Jungle around Akrivel with an accompanying full page map of 6 encounter areas. Finally, there are full page maps for a mine entrance and the stronghold of the Scarlet Triad. All of these maps are new.

thanks, but yeah I know, trying to support Paizo. I'll be switching to ad hoc Amazon purchases once the flow of products means I won't be keeping up. Even the reduced PF2 rate of publication will be to much for me, eventually

What adventure? This is the thread for the Lost Omens World Guide.
Cheers.
Are there any maps that give more detail outside of the Inner Sea region? In particular -- Do we have anything better than the maps on page 418 of the Core Rulebook?
I don't see any maps outside of the Inner Sea, unfortunately.
We WILL finally have a detailed global map though, which I'm very excited and relieved about! :P
James mentioned there would be a global map of Golarion in there, and reconfirmed this at Gen Con, as I remember. Maybe the map just isn’t accessible in one file per chapter format for whatever reason?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
The original intent was to reproduce the global map featured in the Core Rulebook, but the book just had too much awesome stuff going in, so we couldn't fit it in.
Oh, okay. Unfortunate, but understandable. Will there be a big version of Golarion’s global map floating around anytime soon then, that was originally planned for this book? I’d totally be willing to buy a poster map of that separately, and I’m sure I’m not alone.

I'm guessing Zaister is talking about Age of Ashes.What do you mean by "redone"?

Oh, right, somehow I thought I was in the Cult of Cinders thread. Now this makes much more sense. Sorry for the confusion. :D

It would be super cool if we got a book like this for all the continents and subcontinents.
You mean like a "World Guide"? ... Oh, wait... *jk*

And someone already made before release a review about how they didn't like how assumed AP endings include options they didn't like :P
Like seriously, even if you dislike that aspect that much, there are middle options like 2 or 3. In general I prefer giving reviews based on quality of book and content rather than pure personal preference. The "Art is book and setting is good" doesn't really sound like its worth one star out of five.
If the parts you think offend 1e veterans affect the enjoyment of book that much, give it at least 2 stars if you think its still good for newbies. Otherwise you are essentially saying good parts of the book or archetypes aren't worth anything

"anyone who truly cares about their setting"
It's not my setting anyway, I just play in it.
Ha! I'll raise you one with:
It's not my setting anyways, I just take the parts I like .
Carry on! :D

We should accept that folks will have differing views on what this book represents. It is their opinion. Others will look at it differently, we cant all just mindlessly cheerlead everything the company puts out or call for Brigading a negative review. Going that route will end up giving us substandard products which helps no one - consumer or company. If the review is critical so be it. If your review is positive so be it.
I personally felt deceived when the world map did not come out. I know that was one of the major reasons I purchased the book and a lot of folks were pumped about that detailed world map. I don't even know when the correction was made in the product page, but Paizo new before hand and should have said something, which they only chimed in after folks noticed it in their pdf and posted on it.
