Pleeeeeeeeease?
I thought for sure that they would be the first place beyond the Inner Sea Region to get their guidebook, along with Psionics.(and maybe Castrovel, but that might be pushing it)
I admit, I was a bit let down that Tien Xia is first, simply because Asia can hardly be said to be underrepresented in fantasy RPGs compared to India. Or Africa. Or Australia... (okay, the fact that Tien Xia isn't just Japan and China again does make it sting less. I'm eagerly awaiting Golarion's Angkor Wat and the analogues of the Khmer people(okay so maybe I'm pushing this back towards Vudra. Sue me! ;) ), whereever they may be.)
At least give us a close-up on Jalmeray sometime soon!
Many armed elephants, with all their thumbs up!
I'd prefer Arcadia.

+1 with cinnamon-flavoured cream and a cherry on top.
I'd suspect Vudra might see greater detail in 2013, along with Paizo's psionics rules, assuming they don't just use Dreamscarred's version of them (now in Beta testing). Tian Xia/Asian-style mechanics 2011, Epic levels 2012, then Psionics/Vudra in 2013.
2013? But that's after the end of the world!
Anyway, if TX gets a tie in with campaign settings, oriental rules support, and even an AP, and Vudra would be tied to Psionics, I wonder what they have in store for Epic. A "Legacy of the Runelords" epic supermodule where the rest of the Runelords wakes up? Or an Ancient Times CS that lets you play during Azlant's heyday?
Vudra yes, love that idea

For better or worse, we've attached psionics pretty heavilly to Vudra. And that means that before we can go ahead with a big Vudra project, we need to know how psionics work in Pathfinder, and I very much doubt we'll be tackling psionics before we tackle epic rules, and we won't be tackling epic rules for a while.
AKA: Vudra is, at the soonest, many years away.
I'd rather have an Akiton and Castrovel book than a Vudra book. I know it won't happen, but I think Summer 2012 would nicely tie-in to a similar release.

Actually, I'd say an Akiton or Castrovel book has a better chance of coming around than a Vudra-only book.

I'd love a Vudra book myself.
My question is this though: did anybody beside me buy Mindshadows?
Indeed. Naranjan makes a fine substitute for Vudra, until we get it, just as Kara-Tur (from the old boxed set) and Zakhara make fine 'Tien' and 'Casmaron/Greater Kel' substitutes for now. (And Nyambe-Tande makes a fine continent to exist just south of the map-edge below Geb and Sargava.) The Yuan-Ti connection could be fairly easily swapped over to a Serpentfolk connection, if one cared to Golarionize it a bit more.
Hamunaptra also has a ton of good inspiration for a fleshing-out of Osirion, which, IMO, felt a bit 'light' because of the mandated size of the Companion line (and perhaps because it was the first country to be detailed in this line?). If I could only find a nice place to put Freeport, and the city from the Game Mechanics Divine Quarter, Thieves Quarter, etc. :)
I'm less sanguine about using Maztica for Arcadia, as I was not impressed with how Maztica came out.
While I'm much more interested in faux Indian, Asian, Persian and African cultures than faux Native / Central American cultures, the fact that I don't already own a good D&D 'Arcadia' analogue makes me interested in seeing what the Paizo staff do with Arcadia.
Pleeeeeeeeease?

Well, there will be a little on Jalmeray in a certain product, and the world book might have some new info.
But as James said, I suspect it will be a while before a Vudra campaign book. That said, I'd personally like to see a Vudran adventure path. Maybe if this thread gets hundreds of posts demanding it :-)

Ah well. Southern Garund next? ;P

Got it. <3 it, along with the aforementioned Hamunaptra set and Nyambe books. I haven't really gotten to use much from it yet though. Aiming to change that in our upcoming campaign.

YES.

Do they necessarily have to be from different posters?
Just askin'. ;)

Ha, Daigle TX for Tian Xia is catching on!

From the Pathfinder sessions at GenCon, it sounds like there is a region between Vudra and the Inner Sea that has analogs to Greece, Babylon, Persia, etc that they think might be their go-along with Epic.

Me too.
And yes, I did.
Looking forward to the Cult of the Ebon Destroyers module come Winter to give me a taste of Vudra via Jalmeray.
I'd love a Jalmeray book in the Companion line (Chronicles even more so but that won't happen).

Yes please. I'd even take that over a Tian-Xia book... ;)
