I realize that the answer is probably "it'll be out when it'll be out", but doesn't hurt to ask - any word on when the player guide will be out? :)

Usually, it's a couple weeks before it starts shipping, so between early April and middle of April would be my guess.

I was over-optimistic. It will be ready mid-April.

No worries Aaron - thank you for your transparency!

Might we expect this week will be the week for maybe the Player's Guide? Or official cover art? (Just trying to judge when the release might be and counting back 30 days)

Two comments up from you, Aaron says mid-April for the PG :>

He was over-optimistic.
Should be ready in 3 days prior to release.

will be perfect when I end AV AP. Will this also be available in a foundry module?

If nothing change until then, yes. The last word on foundry modules is "All new AP books as they are released, all other content will be as a case by case basis." (Paraphrased)

I can also confirm that the module work has started for this one so it is for sure happening.

Any update on if yall were able to squeeze the harrower archetype into the players guide?

Seconding this request.

Ecstatic to hear this! The modules really are fantastic

Any update on if yall were able to squeeze the harrower archetype into the players guide?

The player's guide will have the Harrowing ritual, the Harrower archetype, and a Harrowed bloodline for sorcerers.

Weird. Looking forward to seeing how "harrowed" is a bloodline. :-)

That's mostly left up to the individual player, but the basic idea is that one of your ancestors had a harrow reading performed that was so impactful that it was passed on to a descendant, or perhaps that ancestor's harrow reading more or less predicted your character's birth and fate, so that you were empowered by the harrow from the moment you took your first breath.

Thank you! I was already looking forward to this AP. I am now salivating.

Just how it was in PF1?

Was it? Hm.

I like James' answer. :-)

This sounds like an excellent place for PCs to pick up their adventuring careers after Abomination Vaults.

Is that the final cover? Hmm.

Back cover:

Choose Your Fate!
When strange cards from a magical harrow deck manifest without explanation among the belongings of a group of powerful adventurers, the fate of reality falls on their shoulders. You are those adventurers! Are you up to the task of defending fate itself from those who seek to bend the forces of destiny to their whims? The Stolen Fate Adventure Path begins with “The Choosing,” a complete adventure for 11th- to 13th-level characters.

We are preparing the free player's guide, promotional video and AP landing page for this Friday! I hope it is in our cards.

Any idea who the iconics are for this one besides seela and seroni

The book 2 cover seems to show Mios and Korakai, which makes a lot of sense with the themes!

In "The Choosing" I see Valeros, Mios, Seoni, and Korakai. I don't see Seelah.

Not shown: Merisiel.

A rogue joke! ;)

Just got the first book, but when is the Player's Guide coming out?

Could be on the cards for this Friday according to Aaron

Will this AP be fully supported in foundry vtt similar to how abomination vaults was supported?

That is up to Foundry. Paizo licenses the use of their intellectual property to Foundry, but it's a business decision by Foundry as to what materials they license.

Foundry staff do all the work to convert Paizo materials for use on Foundry. No Paizo staff involvement in the creation of Foundry products.

That said, I believe the Sigil team has committed to doing new AP books as they come out, and haven't announced that to change.

Just got access to this and the interactive maps are missing quite a few maps: Areas C,D,E,F,G, opera house on page 43, basically every map in Chapter 2 is missing. Also hex map on page 70.

Hopefully it can be updated.

I left a review, but I wanted to reiterate here in the comments that I love everything about this book.

I have reported the issue to Customer Service.

I am currently reading through the adventure. I very much enjoy the references to past works (adventures, settings, and novels). Speaking of which...

Yeah, I'm really hoping mine ships soon. This looks like it will be fun.

So what beasties have we got in the toolbox?

First post as an AP subscriber!....and this AP looks like a good one to start with indeed. A neat follow on perhaps from Abomination Vaults as someone else previosuly mentioned.

The Player's Guide is up and I think Harrower might be my favorite 2e Archetype. Truly imaginative stuff! Every Feat is exciting.

Also, seeing Kineticist in the class list is very thrilling.

Where is the Player's Guide, please? I tried to find it on the Paizo website, but had no luck.

Same here, just cant find it at all

Here

Here

Thank you! :)

(I find the new website difficult to navigate. The older version had a much easier to find/read page overview of all the APs and smoother transitions from one AP listing to another via the numerical sequence. This new website keeps dumping me back on a very colourful PF2 summary page - which doesn't include the latest ones in the pipeline.)

I think in this case it's not the fault of the website, it's not published on the website yet but the URL is up. I imagine the proper page for it will come up later today.

I just want to comment that the way thematically appropriate classes and class options are covered in the Player's Guide is lovely and a great addition to recent 2E APs. I love how you folks balance avoiding spoilers vs making characters that get interesting opportunities to use their abilities.

Oh this would have been nice to run for my players...

If only we had a PF1e Version of this...

Shame. As usual.

At what point does one stop beating the dead horse?

PF2 launched four years ago, and has been doing quite well for itself. Paizo's been nothing but honest about how unfeasible straddling multiple rulesets is for their team. PF1 got a decade of content, more than any one table can ever hope to see all of - so why do this? Being publicly bitter and spiteful won't change the realities of their staffing or the interests of their writers, it just looks unflattering.

If the AP sounds interesting, buy it. If you don't want to convert it - something people do for both editions of Pathfinder and every other RPGs all the time - then don't. It's really that simple.

Honestly between 6 bestiaries the NPC codex and all the statted up characters in various 1e books I find it's fairly easy to switch 2e for 1e characters like 90% of the time same for monsters (Either a direct switch or in the case of new 2e monsters something in 1e thats fairly close.)

Removed a post that was harassing. Please refrain from off topic or harassing posts and edition warring, those posts will be removed.

For some reason, the PDF for this is enormous - it's 192 MB. By contrast, the core rulebook is about 80 MB. The entire Kingmaker AP + the Companion Guide together weigh in at about 160 MB.

Most individual AP volumes weigh in between about 20-50 MB.

Can someone please fix the PDF? It's large enough that it's actually inconvenient - it looks like Gatewalkers 3 has a similar (but not as bad) issue, as does the new Starfinder Drift Hackers volume (109 MB). Starfinder Adventure Path PDFs have had similar issues in the past, too.

Might want to shoot an email to customer service, as that's the best way to raise issues and make sure it's on the radar
