May: Pathfinder Chronicles: Dungeon Denizens Revisited, which gives the Classic Monsters Revisited treatment to some of your favorite dungeon-dwelling nasties;
I just saw where my b-day money went.
June: Pathfinder Chronicles: Seekers of Secrets—A Guide to the Pathfinder Society, which reveals everything* about the mysterious Pathfinder Society;
I love conspiracy. Will it be tied into the PFS?
August: Pathfinder Chronicles: Princes of Darkness—Book of the Damned, Volume 1, which is the first Pathfinder Chronicles product to fully support the Pathfinder RPG.
Hmmm. I have those two WotC 3.x demon/devil books. Will PoD-BotD be that markedly different?

In short, yes.
In slightly longer, yes, because so do we.
This isn't going to be a guide to adventuring in Hell and giving stat blocks for who lives there--though our vision of hell is significantly different from the Great Wheel version. Expect more about making deals and pacts with devils and arch fiends, drawing power from Hell, the goals of various devils and arch evils in Golarion, new beasties, diabolical new magic, etc etc.
I want to know how to make Faustian pacts and infernal contracts. I want to know how a barbazu is different from a hamatula physiologically. I want to make sure people know why a pit fiend isn't just a second tier balor. Stuff like that.
So yeah, rest assured that I'm keeping special eye on making sure that this isn't just a rerun or a remake. We'll have more details in a few weeks when writing actually starts, but if there's anything folks want to see that sounds like a great thread to start!
(PoD-BotD. Wow. That's one abbreviation.)

Then you got yourself a deal. Er. For the book, not my soul :)
I assume there'll be a book planned for the demons, eventually. Any plans for those NE "we want you DEAD" daemons?

PC:PoD-BotD;V1 is more accurate and eye-boggling.

Years working as a tech writer in aerospace and IT. Honey, you haven't seen anything! :)
Ha!
Obox-Ob, Rovagug... you have a lot of issues with arachnids, don't you?
Actually Jason is the one with arachnophobia... which is kind of even more fun.
The devil Book of the Dead is Volume 1.
There are lots of other fiends out there to write books about.
I have plans for several other volumes in this series in my head...

Awesome...what are your plans for the good guys...I know various staff have a thing for the things from the pit, but it helps for the good guys to have options too. Maybe not just pacts or ways to more power but more in line of why the Seven Heavens wont interfere directly or if they do in what specific way that they may do so. Since we don't want every PC to summon a celestial every time they walk down the road and have a random encounter.
Will we finally get to know the interaction between Ioun Stones and Wayfinders?
Some! Though as the Eando's saga in the Pathfinder's Journal has shown, just because you THINK you understand all the interactions between wayfinders and ioun stones doesn't mean you can't be surprised....
