I know there's been another Open Design thread about our summer Midgard Tales kickstarter project, but I wanted to highlight the fact that we are putting together THIRTEEN awesome Pathfinder adventures. Patrons can even buy in at pitching levels and vie for the opportunity to gain official credit and writing contracts. You can learn the ropes with professional freelancers--two of whom are editors of Kobold Quarterly magazine, I might add, and are always on the lookout for new writers. Few projects offer that kind of opportunity!
Most of these adventures in this book will be scenarios suitable to run during a 5-6 hour game night, and they can certainly make great side adventures for much longer stories you may be running. And, of course, if you've supported the Midgard Campaign Setting, you'll want this book as a companion to it, as it opens up stories in the added realms.
Finally, the limited edition hardcover will only be available as a kikcstarter tier. It will be softcover from here on out.
I'm leading this project (with Wolfgang Baur and Ben McFarland assisting), so feel free to stop by here and ask me questions. We've got three weeks before we kick it into high gear, but we've already had a winning pitch for an NPC legend. We'll be posting that on the Kobold Quarterly blog very soon, so keep an eye out.
Wolfgang added two more freebies to those signing up at the Hero tier ($35)--two free adventure pdfs set in the Seven Cities. These are in layout now.
Just wanted to chime in to add that the project has just passed the next funding stretch goal at $12.5k. Which means a 32 page Legends of Midgard supplement added! So if you want to be part of an awesome project involving great minds (and me! ;p) brainstorming and reviewing each other's ideas with great developers to create a baker's dozen excellent adventures...well, look no further! See you on the KQ boards...

Also note I'm writing a 15th-level adventure in this offering. If you sign up at hero and above, you can help shape it!
Additionally, we have our first legend up on the Kobold Quarterly blog. Stop by to learn about Brian Suskind's Hune the Doorlord. We have reached the funding tier to add the Legends book to the project, and the Doorlord will be one of such entries.

Thank you for joining us, silverhair2008!
Any chance of this being available here at the Paizo store for pre-order?
I missed the kickstarter and so don't have a backer's inside knowledge of the updates on this.
Any time now or will it be a while?
It's coming along well. I know that initial layout is complete, and looks pretty good-- but they're knocking off the rough corners and making sure it fits in the proper pagecount. Preorder is available at Koboldpress.com

Well, I've only gotten to see a few pages yet, and I like the trade dress, I know the cartography's gorgeous, and the couple pieces of art I saw I really liked. :)
I'm being cautious, but it is looking like a knockout, if it's all in line with the few pages I saw (and I'm guessing it is).
I know the stories in it are top notch. ;)

Can anyone tell me what the other adventures are outside of the ones described in the product description?
Awesome to hear word of this getting close to completion. Been eagerly waiting!
No worries! I just purchased Tales of the Old Margreve today, so it's looking like this year is going to be a Kobold year for me =)

Tales of the Old Margreve is awesome. I am going through it with a fine tooth comb but haven't found very many glitches. I have posted what I have found on the Kobold Press forum.
My eyes are bleeding from proofing. We are getting there!
I believe this is out today!

Shipped, and the first review is 5 stars!
The Tim Connors adventure has already freaked out quite a few players, as it was a special event at PaizoCon.
