I just uploaded the files for Gothic Heroes: Pregenerated Characters to the Paizo.com product uploader. Once reviewed by Paizo staff it will be available for purchase. Here is the product description and the cover thumbnail:
Gothic Heroes: Pregenerated Characters
Each of the two included files is 33 pages
Price: $4.99
A set of 8 rules-legal, fully fleshed out, ready to play pregenerated 1st level characters created specifically to shine in a gothic-themed Adventure Path campaign, written Neil Spicer and the Legendary Games Design Team.
Adventure Path campaigns are designed to provide heroic challenges. That means players participating in those campaigns have to create a party of PCs able to handle any situation thrown at them by Paizo’s amazing stable of writers. That’s where we at Legendary Games come in. Let those very same writers provide you with the characters you need to succeed, all rules-legal and fully compliant! We guarantee each character will provide an interesting and unique roleplaying experience, because these pregens are more than just a collection of stats—they are fully formed character concepts with identities and personalities created by the best in the industry. Each with amazing art by Hugo Solis!
Built using Pathfinder Society-approved 20-point-buy method, with scaling notes for 15-point builds, these PCs are perfect for the recent Gothic Adventure Path or for your home campaign. Paizo products have long been as much about story as about combat, and these pregens are no different. But because of our old-school gaming pedigree, you can rest assured these PCs can handle themselves in each challenge they’ll face. When it’s time to thrown down, none of these pregens will be stepping to the sidelines. Print these heroes out and double-dip them in the stuff adventures are made of. Each PC also includes a backstory, a trait selection from the specific campaign’s Player’s Guide, some special equipment, links to how the character fits into the campaign, and some roleplaying tips. To top it all off, each character comes with preselected choices as they advance in the first few levels, and also include notes about their ultimate design goals so you know what you are working towards.
Plenty of our products are geared for the hardworking GM, but this one is for every gamer out there. If you are a player, these PCs should provide endless opportunities for adventure. If you are a GM, you can use these pregenerated characters as NPCs or rival adventuring parties. And if you play or run Pathfinder Society adventures, with a few tweaks these PCs will work for you, too.
This download includes two files: a “full color” version, with color backgrounds, and a “color ink” version that has white backgrounds with color ink, giving you multiple ways to print out these characters for your game table. Permission is included to photocopy and use them for your home games.
As an added bonus, each file also contains a sheet of stand up miniatures for you to cut out and use for each character with Hugo Solis’ amazing art!
The PDF files are portrait oriented (unlike some Legendary Games products) since that layout better fits the character sheet model. Additionally, some of the content in the stat blocks of the character sheets has been linked to the Pathfinder Reference Document, the official online compendium of game rules (when not present there, such as the changeling, for example, we used the d20PFSRD), so that you can access important rules from a link right there in your character sheet!
Power to the Players! Now go roll initiative!
Contains:
Agrimar Vaskel, male half-orc paladin of the Goddess of Valor (undead scourge)
Dominnia Vorsaife, female aasimar summoner and her eidolon, Theodric
Eilinica Ziorec, female human cleric of the Goddess of Dreams
Ereviss Cierdel, male elf bard (detective)
Jevalt Ardain, male dhampir inquisitor
Merenso Kull, male half-elf ranger (skirmisher)

For the spirit of the season i'll have to pick this up, looks good.
If you want a preview of all the AMAZING art by Hugo Solis, check them out here at THIS LINK to the Legendary Games news page.

Very cool hopefully the rest is soon to come as well.
Not likely, DM. :)
Very cool!
Yay!
Love the Art Style
Another thing that would be cool would be to set it up like Paizo use to with the iconics so they are at the proper level for each book. I know how to level up characters but some people really liked the leveled iconics
Clark, will this be available at RPGNow and DriveThruRPG also?
This is for Carrion Crown, right?

Yes, but not until I get it set up. I hope that will be soon.

I don't think I can "say" its for Carrion Crown. But I can say they are for "the recent Gothic-themed Adventure Path," so that should answer your question (kind of like how Pathfinder is "compatible with the world's most famous roleplaying game!").
But that said, these are just 8 pregens with gothic flavor. Yes, they are designed to succeed in a certain Adventure Path, but they would make great characters or NPCs in ANY campaign. And, with minor tweaking (remove item creation feats, for instance) they could be used for Pathfinder Society play since they are 20 point buy characters.
So I don't want anyone to think they are "only" for a gothic adventure path campaign.

I would've sworn that Book of River Nations mentions it is for Kingmaker, and beyond. Hm.
There's a reference to Carrion Crown that appears in the Gothic Heroes product, as well. Mostly just as a shout out to Paizo for their inspiration. We don't officially say "this is for Carrion Crown"...though, it's obviously implied...as with every AP Plug-In product.

I don't want to weigh in on that. I don't know if it did or didn't and even if it did, I am choosing how best to comply with the licenses for my company and don't have or intend to express any opinion on how any other company may choose to comply.

Clark, I just bought and read through the Treasury of the Macabre...and suffice it to say, it ROCKED!!!
I absolutely love the Galvanic Neck-Bolts! Talk about creative!
Can't wait to put them to use in my game...

Glad you enjoyed! Frankenstein's monster FTW! :)
Just downloaded Gothic Heroes. Don't have time to read through thoroughly yet, but after a quick flip through I just had to pop in to say that this title is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!! The layout/art/design team have truly outdone themselves on this thing. Absolutely stunning job!
Woot! Go check out the Paizo store. Gothic Heroes now available!
