We want our APs to basically be as "free to play" as possible if you're a player character.
my pathfinder group has circumvented this by getting the players to pay for the AP modules. Given how many books the GM should buy, I approve completely (as a player).
I feel like the crazy lady from those old Mervyn commercials. "Openopenopenopen!"
The Player's Guide usually includes information on the region, appropriate class and race selections, and a primer on the starting location. As well as some yummy new campaign traits. I know I need it before I can start a recruitment thread going.
I thought it would be sooner, but it's looking like very early next week.
YAY!!!

Yes. Now get out and carry some of the luggage.
It's the best selling Companion we've printed to date, and by a wide margin.Adventurer's Armory. :PI liked the Adventurer's Armory.That's exactly the problem - it was perhaps the most sought-after Companion book, as everybody loves gear books.
And as great the expectations were, so big was the letdown - errors, poor layout, bad design choices (reprinting stats for CS items without reprinting their descriptions and my pet peeve, level 6 expert NPC that takes two pages in a GEAR book) and finally the fact that the erroneous material got quietly reprinted in APG with fixes included (Brass Knuckles, anyone? From "yet another craptacular monk weapon" in AA to "wow, finally somebody fixed the monks!" in APG).
Meh.
To be fair, all of the companions suffer from the utterly uneeded npc stats blocks, at least imo.

Not sure how long this'll be up before Vic or someone fixes it, but I *think* you can at least *view* the Player's Guide here.
The Kingmaker AP's picture is actually something for Carrion Crown. Looks like the Player's Guide to me...
Okay this is just being mean.

Ok, i'm psyched now too. Hope this goes up today, in the next 2 hours would be sweet (before I go back to work) so I can load it onto my color nook and take it with me. I usually have time to kill at work, its where I read most of my Paizo PDFs. :)
Really liking what im reading about this particular AP. This will likely motivate me into GMing a maptools Carrion Crown game.
Look over here!
Look over here!
I finished my other post just in time.
Woo... This looks good. The inclusion of extra races is nice.
Ooooh! Changelings!
Ooooh! Changelings!
I'm SO delighted with how the changelings came out! I kind of got type cast at some point back in the Dragon days as being something of a weird expert on hags, but how they procreated and survived through their youths never quite scanned. I'm happy we have these guys now as an explanation. That picture of the girl with two different color eyes and the cauldron is a changeling and you can read all about them in the first Carrion Crown adventure, Pathfinder #43. I also snuck one into Rule of Fear. :)
Oh, and before folks ask, our take on Spring-Heeled Jack is on the cover. You can read more about him is #43 too!
Huzzah! Reading it right now.
Is it going to be pink on the inside? That's the #1 reason why I hated the Gnomes book. Please don't be pink on the inside.
Siggh it's going to beee

Spring-Heeled Jack or changelings? I... guess so? I mean... most things I can think of are pink on the inside... somewhere at least. I've never really thought about it...
Magi of the Bladebound, Hexcrafter, Spellblade, and Staff Magus archetypes
Cool.

The inside of the book. The background is like raspberry pudding colored.
I think it's nice on the eyes, now, but I was worried it was going to be psychedelic like the Gnomes book's interior was.

Oh. Ha! No. Nothing - NOTHING - will ever be as pink as Gnomes was.
Though I have to say, when I'm looking for specific Player Companions, I can always fine Gnomes easiest.
So how many people are going to have to buy new black ink because Paizo thought the cover would be cool being pretty much all black, and black at the top and bottom of pretty much every page?
I know Sarah thought about making the super scary, gothic horror Adventure Path baby blue at one point, but I think she made the right choice with black instead. :P

We DID print copies for the first five APs, in various ways and methods and combinations with the Player's Companion line. The PDF only way seems to work the best overall at this time.
While I understand your reasoning, it should be said that I was a subscriber to Companion from day one. However, the decision to stop doing the printed players guides as every third companion was why I canceled my subscription and switched to modules.
I just wanted to say that at least some of us miss the printed option and would pay for them. If you ever consider rolling the printed AP player's guides back into the companion line, or offering a print option for purchase, tally me as at least one customer.

You can go to staples or kinkos to get your own copy made. There are even online sites(oh great now I can't find the bookmark) that will bind it and send it to you for about 11 dollars. I will post the link if I find it.
Wait, Harrow points?
Oh great forces of the universe...
Let me find someone to run this AP for me. Let it be such that I must now run it for myself as it has always been. Let this GM be amazing, Lawful Evil, and willing to let me read the Harrow for the group.
Never should the fortuneteller be forced to run the game. Never should the cards be influenced by knowledge of the story. Never should prophecy be confused for unfair prior knowledge.
Any chance of a post up of the stats for the Changeling? Would be useful so people know what they are getting themselves in for when making a changeling character...
Nope! Sorry there. But GMs planning to run this AP will have those stats ready and available for players just as soon as they get Pathfinder #43. So interested parties should just talk to their GMs. A bit of a hint, though: it's a good caster class.

If your changeling is still pink inside, you may not have cooked it enough. For safety's sake, you want to hit an internal temp of at least 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
