Delve into ancient secrets below the City at the Center of the World in this deluxe campaign-arc adventure for Pathfinder Second Edition! Captured and enslaved by a duergar clan somewhere in the maze of tunnels below the city of Absalom, the heroes stage a bloody revolt and battle their way into the long-lost Sanctum of Aroden, a legendary religious refuge sealed away from the world with the god's death a century ago. But some secrets are best left buried forever, and investigation into the mysterious Dead God's Hand said to be hidden at the heart of the complex—and the shrouded figure whose desire for it trigged the heroes' captivity in the first place—uncovers machinations that could threaten all of Absalom with the birth of a terrible new divinity!
Based on Pathfinder Publisher Erik Mona's multi-year, multi-group office Pathfinder campaign, The Dead God's Hand takes new players and Game Masters on a deadly adventure filled with dungeon exploration, ancient mysteries, and phantasmagoric tests that see them reliving events from the life of Aroden, the dead god of humanity whose murder triggered the beginning of the current age! This 128-page hardcover adventure is designed for 1st-level characters, and serves as an excellent starting point to future adventures set in Absalom, the City at the Center of the World!
Erik Mona confirmed he handed the script for this adventure in this week!
It is now with development to edit, review, coordinate art, illustrations and the cover, and it will soon be put on the schedule!
I am so happy!
And in fact this is what I've been developing for the past week or two. Was wary about mentioning this to manage expectations is all.
It's been on the schedule in one way or another since the start, years ago. We don't share our internal schedules, though, but things are for sure moving on this one. Hopefully we'll have more info to share on it soon, so stay tuned!
Fantastic! This is my first time posting anywhere on these forums, but I've been following the discussion in these comments since 2019 because I'm very excited about this title.
I'm sure it'll take time to go through the rest of the process, but the fact that the script was submitted is so exciting. Can't wait for this one.
Edit: Actually, since this is my first time that I'd be preordering anything -- does the preorder come with a pdf, or just the physical volume alone? If the latter, would the pdf go up for purchase later? Sorry for the n00b question. :)

Someone more authoritative would be better to say for certain - generally a bonus PDF is included if you receive a product via subscription, so if you subscribe to the PF Adventures line with this product, it should include the PDF.
You know, given the theme of this adventure and the War of Immortals book coming. They could potentially add Mythic to this adventure not sure if mythic will be added but one could speculate.

I doubt mythic will be in this, given how long it's taken to get here, but my understanding is that there is mythic in WoI, so I suppose it's possible it could be in this adventure.

I cam here on a whim, I usually check any time I remember which can be a few months. Glad I did cause I've been waiting for this to come out for a while now. Think I'll preorder and forget about it and be surprised when it comes in the mail.
