Yaaaaay for gestalt characters!

And as the preview on Paizo's Facebook indicates, there will be rules for gestalt PCs in this book.
Waste of space, if you ask me...
And here I go to postpone the start of the new campaign to March :/
A Pathfinder n00b here, but isn't gamemastery content coming to playtest? I'd love to get to testing vehicles and such already :D
Are gestalt characters that popular?

The playtest that was just released is for the four new classes in the Advanced Player's Guide, due out for Gen Con 2020. It is way too late to be playtesting anything in the Gamemastery Guide.
Thanks, David!

Although, I'd never use it, I don't begrudge fans that like the concept getting it.
However, it should really live in a book like PF Unchained!, IMO. Player options tend to take up lots of page count and anything that takes away tools from one of the likely rare GM-focused books will disappoint. In other words, I don't want chases, hexploration, or any of the subsystems given short shrift and reduced page count so gestalt could make it in.

Sure.
However, guidance/rules on how to handle/use gestalt characters (& how they'd affect the baseline assumptions of the game) would be very useful to those GMs who run groups much smaller than the assumed 4-player band (like 1 or 2 players). As such, I think gestalt characters have their place in the GM guide (although I'd agree that the usual plethora options for players using gestalt characters probably shouldn't be in the book...).
Carry on,

sheduled to released at mid feb or later?

Yes, for the super heroic one-shot and to help balance a two or three man party while running a published adventure.

Anyone else willing to bet that Jason designed the Everflame based on the Relic rules?

That makes sense.
Gah! Is it February yet?!?

I wonder, will this book feature more elements of GM-friendly books that weren’t in the original GMG, but came later in PF1’s lifespan, like Ultimate Intrigue, Wilderness, or Occult Adventures? Those books have some really great rules and advice content, and it’d make running a campaign a lot easier off the bat if I had a lot of that stuff in one book already by the time I begin.
Strange there's Alaznist but not one of the runelords that are actively ruling New Thassilon right now

The Pathfinder Classic Gamemastery Guide had [redacted], who faced the PCs at the end of [redacted] on the cover, so it makes sense the second edition Guide would have [redacted], who the PCs face off against at the end of [redacted] on the cover.
Too much redaction, Captain Yesterday lol :)
On the contrary, if you don't know what I'm talking about then there is exactly enough redactions.
