Pathfinder Adventure Path: Fists of the Ruby Phoenix

Announced for January! Product image and description are not final and may be subject to change.

I’m glad this did well enough for a hardcover!

I wonder if it will get the 5e treatment down the line.

very nice!

I'm surprised that this actually warrants a collection.

They put a 1-10 in a hardcover; it makes sense to have a hardcover option for continuing that campaign.

Super fun AP (running it myself) that is not ashamed at all what vibe it goes for, insanely cool fights and set pieces as well.

Really happy to see this getting a collection!

Incredibly stoked to see this getting the compilation treatment! It's a fantastic path and everyone I've seen running or playing it has been impressed.
Here's hoping this will reach even more people!

Huzzah!

Will this be getting a Foundry VTT release?

Aaron posted in a thread for crown of the kobold king that it likely will around the time the hardcover releases in January.

Does this mean we'll see the Heavenseeker fixed?

Jalmeri Heavenseeker was in Agents of Edgewatch, not Fists of the Ruby Phoenix. I think the archetype you're thinking of that's a major problem in FotRP is Sixth Pillar, which has been confirmed by Michael Sayre on Reddit that it's been errata'd.

Now the good news, Michael ALSO stated that Jalmeri Heavenseeker would be re-printed in the Lost Omens: Impossible Lands book! And yes, they've errata'd Heaven's Thunder to be the correct scaling now.

Great that this is coming out!

A bummer that I'll likely be almost done running the campaign by then :(

I overestimated how fast my players go through things. We'll probably be a little into Book 3 by then.

Will this be getting the same treatment as the Abomination Vaults hardcover compendium for Adventure Path Subscription holders? As in: not included in the subscription, but pre-orders will get a free accompanying PDF?

Most likely.

"Note: This product is in your sidecart."

:-)

"You’ve reached this page due to an error on paizo.com. The web team has been notified and are working to fix the issue."

That second sentence may be true, but though I've seen the sentence many times, I've yet to see evidence of its truth.

Excited to see the tweaks to Sixth Pillar and (potentially) the Wind and Fire Wheel

The digital download for this product is broken, I only get a 141-byte file. I have tried resetting the download for no avail.

Same here (single file version).

I got the 141 byte file. Unzipped it, got a zero byte pdf which "can't open, 'cause it's empty". :-(

That's on both the regular single file version and the special edition single file version. The "file per chapter" versions seem to be okay.

Hopefully it'll get sorted out on Tuesday. I really wanna know how they went about addressing the Sixth Pillar Dedication and Sixth Pillar Mastery!

Also the weapons, wind and fire wheel looks cool but haven't ever been able to use them because they are wrong.

I'm sure they are busy but I recommend sending a customer service email for the PDF issues; that should get to the right people more assuredly than the product thread.

For those like myself who are hopeful for a premium module on Foundry, it looks like the teams are working on Gatewalkers and Kingmaker at the moment. I found this by searching the Foundry discord's Pf2e channel.

I have the same problem with the single file PDF download. But I successfully downloaded the file per chapter PDFs.

There is obviously a copy paste error... but it LOOKS like you can get a free Abomination Vaults PDF if you are a subscriber AND preorder this LOL!

I've been thinking about this one for a bit and decided to pull the trigger since it mentioned that preorders from adventure subscribers (just subscribed) get the pdf for free. I see the physical book is shipping now, so I hope it still counts as a preorder because the pdf hasn't dropped yet and the offer is still listed on the page. ;)

Is there any additional things added tk this Hardcover version from the original version?

I've been curious about this for months now - assuming this has the player's guide baked in like the Abomination Vaults hardcover did, is the provided map of Tian Xia the same or is it perhaps updated in any way?

From what I heard, no addition or big change. There might be what could be seen as "errata"? But nothing specific have been said from what I remember.

Has the file issues been sorted out yet? I'm dying to know what the errata for this compilation is!

The Pathfinder Adventure Path: Fists of the Ruby Phoenix compilation doesn't have all of the backmatter articles of the original volumes, just the ones that are most relevant to the campaign. The adventure should be all the same, but maybe with some small tweaks.

Back cover:
"Battle Royale
Prepare for the fight of your life! Martial artists, magic users, and misfits from around the globe meet in the arena for the world’s greatest fighting competition: the Ruby Phoenix Tournament. Challengers can gain valuable rewards and enhanced reputations, or even
obtain access to special opportunities and amazing new powers. But to reach the tournament’s final bout and claim their place as grand champions, members of the party will need to defeat sinister rivals, survive perilous challenges, and overcome incredible odds. After all, only one team can win the grand prize—a priceless treasure from the vault of the Ruby Phoenix herself, the sorcerer Hao Jin! The Fists of the Ruby Phoenix Adventure Path is a complete campaign for 11th- to 20th-level characters."

Just got the shipping notification for this and got access to download, but there appears to be a problem with the download for the single file- it's showing up as only 141 bytes and the .pdf file gives me an error when I try to open it. I know we've done a lot with compression, but I think there's something that needs to be looked at...

Okay, so that answers my question on whether or not the FotRP compilation .PDFs are still broken.

Can those affected please email Customer Service to see about getting this sorted out. Seems like voicing these concerns on the forums here will lead to them being ignored.

EDIT: Went on and sent an email myself to CS. I haven't pre-ordered/subscribed to get this book, but hopefully CS will still read my email and realize something's up.

141 bytes for me too.

Mentioned upthread that the file per chapter version may work better than the single file.

Sixth Pillar Archetype Note: There were some mechanical tweaks to address known issues.

Okay, that's all well and good. Now to ask once more, has the issues with the .PDF downloads been addressed? 'Cause so far, six different people have noted said issues in this product thread, and there's been 0 communication about fixing said issue.

Can we please get a word about this, please? At least before y'all close for the weekend?

Its looks like the PDF issue was discovered Fri, Jan 13. I assume one of you emailed CS when you found the file was corrupted and that the fix is in process. Regardless, we will make sure it is correct by next Wednesday, Street Date.

I emailed CS about this issue, as well as the Alien Ruins Flip-Mat and the missing Files for the AV and FotRP Battle Cards. I didn't hear back, but maybe it helped anyway.

We are working on it.

Anything noted about the wind and fire wheel? If I recall from the original AP printing, it accidentally inherited too many traits from the Butterfly Sword.

In this case "Paizo Marketing & Media" was just me logged into a different account, but it could one of several of us in theory. :)

I am not aware of any wind and fire wheel changes.

I saw a new name on Twitter recently for the team and wasn't sure. Glad you've got several on the team now!

Sure did; on the evening of Friday the 13th right after I tried to download it!

You may want to update the "note" which gets to Abomination Vaults.
