For a company that has supposedly abolished all mention of slavery in their products, there's are a lot of slavery in this module (p.4, Ivarsa, Warmonger; p.34-35, Quiet Ones). :s
They said it would apply in future products. The decision was taken after this module was finished. It could not be retroactively modified.
I have full confidence the policy will be followed in future products.

Was leaving the hex maps out of the interactive maps pdf intentional? It feels weird for the map pdf to not have all the maps for it's associated module. Will there be an updated version that includes them, or will they be available as a separate file? Or am I just going to be out of luck on that part?

Please give us a better version of the maps in the interactive maps pdf. The current quality just feels like an insult to anyone actually planning on using them.
I'd just like to say that I screen-capped maps from the AP and the Interactive Maps and stretched them on Roll20 with no issues. I use Sumatra for my PDF viewing, not a browser.

This is part of the Adventure Path Sub but still hasn't shown up in my sidecart. Any ETA on that?
Send an email to Customer Service at customer.service@paizo.com
I believe they already shipped out Sub orders, so if yours hasn't shipped out then that is likely an error. CS has been great with responding to emails quickly.

I am back from vacation and looking into this.

Thanks. Our PDFs are intentionally set under commercial print resolution. The PDFs are designed as a digital reference document, not for VTT play. But that is the way they have come to be used and we are working to provide better digital solutions with our partners. We are working with Foundry to produce a solution for those users. No timeline to announce yet.

They are good enough to be usable, yes. But compared to other maps such as those from SoT(or especially 3rd party), they look really bad. E.g. the 6-map spread on page 3 of the Broken Tusk Moon interactive PDF is 1194x1592 pixels whereas the 4-map spread on page 4 of the Kindled Magic interactive PDF is 2475x3300 pixels.

Thanks for the reply. The irony to me is that I never really care about map quality in print, because I only use the print maps as a reference and I will draw the map on a flip-map for in-person play. Whereas for VTT I strongly care about the map quality because it directly influences the experience.

I noticed that the maps on the inside back cover page of the PDF of this product I downloaded when it was released to me do not match the print product. From their names, I'm guessing those maps are from Strength of Thousands, Part 6. :)
I redownloaded the PDF and while the maps have been replaced with the ones actually in the print version, the bookmark for the page still lists the erroneous maps ("Maps: The Circle, Mind of the King"). Could we get that updated, please?

So I see what you mean. I had an older version of the PDF too. But the digital download was updated on Fri, Jan 21, 2022 and the fresh download has the correct maps. Kindly go re-download it.

Still working on this, but it does need to be corrected. Have a good weekend!

What's the reason why you can't provide JPEGs of these maps, similar to the interactive maps? Why does there have to be a Foundry specific solution when all people are asking for is a simple picture?
My personal answer is the we already give away the rules for free and it we were to give away the maps as JPEGs they would be all over the internet in 24 hours, maps that are Paizo's property. Piracy is already bad enough. And I want my coworkers and the freelancers we engage to be paid for their work.
Paizo does make jpgs of its Flip-Mats and card decks available. It is inconsistent at the moment, but Paizo is in the process of making more digital content available.
I don't know, Maybe I would plaster a big PATHFINDER logo on every image so that, when it was used by someone who did not own it, at least it would be watermarked and promote us.
People tease me because people tear apart our PDFs anyway. As a marketer I want to make it easy to for you to play and offer you quality. But in a digital world that means easy to obtain without compensation. Companies have been wrestling with this for decades now. It’s not easy from where I stand.
But make no mistake, the choice is not mine to make. It is well above my pay-grade as they say, so I do not have an official answer for you.

Not asking to give them away for free. Let me just buy the images. You seem to be able to do that with one shots as well which come with all the assets and maps. By not offering high quality assets you are just driving piracy because there's no other way to get them. As for watermarks: Seems excessive and will also increase piracy since it's an inferior product. You don't seem to require AoN to put watermarks on all monsters, right?
Not trying to be too hard on you here, but the people in charge at Paizo finally need to wake up since we've been plagued by COVID for 3 years now with no end in sight.

I completely understand your desire to have a quality online gaming experience. Part of my job is to be the voice of the customer inside Paizo and I will continue to do so.

I've just started running this AP, and some of the background is tripping me up. I was hoping someone could give me some suggestions.
My PCs are a diverse group, with some growing up in the tribe and others having joined it in the last few years. The AP makes it pretty clear that the PCs are not to know much about the past. They don't know about
The whole "for some reason you don't know these things about the group you've lived with for 27 years" thing is just awkward. How is everyone else handling this? Have I misread something? If I tell some of the PCs some of the background it will ruin what is clearly meant to be a big reveal.

Re: The Mammoths, I don't think that they are super keenly aware of it. It's a society where history is passed down with an oral tradition and storytellers aren't usually unbiased narrators, divorced after 80-100 years of conflict and separated by a mountain range they never cross. If I was a Broken Tusk I would have assumed all the Mammoths died in the Fifth Crusade.
As for the Green Moon ceremony, they would be familiar with it yes

Will there be a FoundryVTT version to buy for this AP, similarly to Outlaws of Alkenstar? Anybody knows?
Thank you in advance
At the moment, no. In the future, probably not. Unfortunately, they haven't announced any plans to go back and do the previous APs. With AP's being released monthly, it's unlikely that would be able to happen.

That last part is not quite true.
There's two teams working on premium PF2E content for Foundry: The volunteer team that works on the PF2E Foundry system that gets commissioned to do projects, and the folks from Sigil who are the ones who are making the current AP part modules (OoA, Blood Lords, etc.).
The commissioned volunteer team has done the Beginner Box module, the Abomination Vaults compilation module, and they are said to be the team that will be doing the Kingmaker 2E module. What they choose to do AFTER Kingmaker is entirely up in the air, and has been said that if they do any before-OoA APs, that they would decide the order of which they do them based on popularity.
Hope that clears things up!

Thank you for the info. I'll get the PDFs then and start preparing it on foundry myself. Too bad, i really wanted to try those premium modules but we've done nothing but dungeons lately so I can't pitch a mega-dungeon to my group, and the Alkenstar one is not to their preference. This one, with its exploration and wilderness theme, is a definite winner for my group.

We have no timeline to announce at this time, but it is in everyone's best interest to make as many products available for Foundry as possible. As profit increases, so can capacity. Thanks for playing Pathfinder.
