Hopefully you guys already know, but if not let me tell you...
Or first series of Adventure Path plug ins are aimed at the "gothic adventure path," also known to everyone as Carrion Crown.
Our first product, the Treasury of the Macabre, is already up at the paizo store:
If you want to know about other things we have in store for Carrion Crown, you can visit the Legendary Games page, specifically the Adventure Path Plug-Ins product page:

We love the Carrion Crown AP and hope our support helps your home campaign!
Enjoy!

Are they done yet? Can we buy them yet? Why not? :)
Pregens are in layout. Art is done. You know that :)
Here is a link to some of it, of course, related to the pregens.
My adventure that I wrote with Neil is done. Maps by Rob Lazzaretti are done. Art is almost done. Then Greg Vaughan's adventure is done. Maps by Lazz also done. Art almost done. Once the pregens are laid out, these two adventures are next.
The Construct Codex is also done, but art hasnt started for that yet.
Just picked up the Treasury. Fantastic job. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the plug-ins (especially the Pre-gens and Tomes of Ancient Knowledge).
Publish and take my money faster! ;)
Going to be pdf only?
Yep.
Its hard to go to press with 17 pages :)

Elaborate Brochure? ;-) Any plans for print run when you have enough material compiled on specific AP? Carrion Crown material looks really good I'm just more incline to spend money on physical items then pdfs. I would love to someday give you my money for a print product.
Compilations are a double-edged sword. For every additional customer we might pick up with a compiled print run, we potentially lose as a PDF customer when we create a new PDF product down line for a different AP. That's because a lot of folks become disincented to buy them, choosing to wait for the print product instead. Whereas, if enough people don't buy the PDF products, we may never generate enough interest (i.e., sales) to incent us to create a compilation of the PDFs in print form.
So, it's kind of a chicken/egg sort of thing. We need the PDF support to see that it's a successful product run before considering the investment it would take to do print copies. Plus, unless we make sure the print copies have something "exciting and new" to them that's above and beyond the PDF versions, a lot of folks who bought the initial stuff may not care to support the print product. Meanwhile, if we do put "exciting and new" material in the print product, it further incents people to wait on the print copy instead of buying the PDFs.
At any rate, I suspect this will become an interesting topic for discussion among the Legendary crew. For now, I haven't heard Clark articulate any plans for print compilations. But you never know...
Just my two cents,
--Neil
Ok it's been two weeks tell those artists to draw faster. :-) I need the mini adventures for my Carron Crown game that starts Friday. This is a great idea by the way I look forward to see where it goes.

No kidding, I think you will just love the mini adventures. If I had read them and been allowed to talk about them I would talk about how cool they are, especially the spectral "pet" hook or the... well I can't say. Not that I have read them of course mind you. But if only you knew how cool they was, you would wear your finger to a nub hitting F5 waiting on word they have been uploaded. :)

Really? Are you sure it's not helping? Cause I am pretty sure it is. :)
Will there be any support for beyond Harrowstone? The reason I ask, is that I've already passed the "trust" phase and 3 adventures seem centered around that, and I'd love to add more to my campaign.
Treasury of the Macabre is for all the installments and all levels, fitted to all the themes of the various installments.
Items Include:
Ghosts and Haunted Buildings: fearful knocker, gargoyle mask, ghostly shackles, séance candle, tomb tapper
Mad Scientists and Constructs: anatomist’s knife, clockthief’s candelabrum, clockthief’s key, override baton, electroshock glove, galvanic neck-bolts
Werewolves: bloodscent, guardian moppet, rod of the moon, shadow pack, wolf-hair shirt
Eldritch Alien Horrors: beyonder’s veil, elder talisman, helm of certain sanity, horn of the deep ones, tentacle vest
Vampires and Witches: bloodscent, cruciform icon, mesmeric mask, sanguinary torque, witchblood stylus
Liches and the Ancient Dead: crown of deadspeech, gauntlet of staveguarding, rod of the arcane cenotaph, skeleton cage, spinelash

Oh I forgot to add there is also a "constructs" supplement that will detail all sorts of cool constructs for you to use at all levels:
Construct Codex: From the crowflight carriage, a shining black carriage construct drawn by spectral horses used by vampire lords, to the living crematory, an automaton that roams battlefields disposing of the dead in a frighteningly efficient manner; from the stained glass knight, a gleaming construct designed to defend cathedrals, to the dire organ, a magnificent instrument possessed of prideful majesty and dire dirges, the Codex is a supplement containing 11 gothic-themed constructs to flesh out a world of gothic horror.
By the way, our first product for Carrion Crown, the Treasury of the Macabre, was just made the "top download" at Paizo.com from other companies (meaning companies not named "Paizo").
If you are running or playing in a CC campaign, you might want to check it out. Oh man, I'm like a proud papa right now.
Oh, here is a link: LINK

Congrats! I can't wait to see more of this line.
When is the next product coming out?

Final layout files are to me. Once I get back in town (I am out of town) I will make final comments and then layout can be final. End of next week I hope.

My wife is running CC and I bought the Treasury for her this morning. :)
That's one heck of an Elder Sign analogue. Wish I had one that powerful in CoC.
The Peril Sensitive Helmet is hilarious!
Which of these trinkets were designed by Clinton Boomer? And what's your next project after the pregens?

I could be wrong, but I believe Jason Nelson came up with all the items for the TotM.
And what's your next project after the pregens?
Most likely, it'll be one of the adventures. Both Clark and Greg worked up two different side trek possibilities you can insert into the "Haunting of Harrowstone" with relative ease. Currently, they're entitled The Murmuring Fountain and The Fiddler's Lament. There's also a couple of companion projects coming up, including Tomes of Ancient Knowledge (with a strong mythos vibe) and the Construct Codex (with 11 gothic-themed constructs). If you want to read up on new products from Legendary Games, you can always visit the official site.

Boomer contributed the ideas/initial writeups that became the clockthief's key, clockthief's candelabrum, and guardian moppet.
Another item he had written up I developed into a construct instead, the crowflight carriage, which is in the Construct Codex.
Best guess is that one or both adventures will come out next, Greg's Fiddler's Lament and my Murmuring Fountain, which I wrote up from an initial concept and intro by Clark.
End of this week?
Wish I could tell you. Some parts of this process have been moving slower than we would like, alas.
Really excited to hear more news about this. Hopefully soon.

Indeed! Clark, I want to give you more money!!!
Clark had a multi-day (multi-week?) training retreat related to his real-life job as a judge. Then, he had to catch up on things when he returned. So he was out of pocket for awhile. The good news is he's got 2-3 products in various stages of layout waiting for him. So, he should be gearing things back up soon, I believe.

Is there any update on when the rest of the books will be released? Really looking forward to it. Started the CC AP a couple weeks ago and would like to incorporate more of these books in before they pass up the levels for them.
Nothing new that I know of, looks like 2-3 might all come out fairly close to each other though. I will poke Clark and point him at this thread.
...so Clark deals with petty criminals, sociopaths, and lawyers in his day job AND his second-job/hobby?! Man, I don't know if I could handle that.
I know Hugo just finished some extra tokens/pawns/paper-mini's for the Gothic Heroes pregen product that Clark plans on adding. He'll also make them available to those who previously bought the product. There are two side-trek adventures in layout. And there's an additional product on constructs and another on Cthulu-esque sanity-robbing scribblings that are in various stages of design.
It's true that RPG Superstar could slow things down a little bit.
I'm going through the Gothic Compilation and thoroughly enjoying all of the support material. Thank-you for this!
Anyone have any specific uses they've made of any of these elements they want to share with the rest of us?

Well, I have picked up Whispering Fountain, The Fiddlers Lament, the Gothic Heroes & some of the other AP Plug-ins for some of the other AP's & I have found them quite enjoyable & useful. I noticed you have a compilation of all the Gothic materials on the Legendary Games website & it's looking tempting enough I may very well pick it up, even if I will be doubling up on a couple items. Unfortunately, my wallet isn't ready just yet. But I can find you guys now, so I will definitely be back.
Did you insert Whispering Fountain and Fiddler's Lament into the AP? Any comments on integrating them into Ravengro?
Hey Jason, any word on Mythic Undead?
