Just looking through the catalogue and saw that it looks like these will be the last set of 2013/ first set of 2014. How does everyone feel about that? Happy, sad, mad? Also what do you hope to see. I'm not to familiar with the path, but it seems pretty sick from what i know thus far.
It seems like a good choice to me, although it doesn't really suit what I want (I have oodles of demons already - Wotc put out lots of them).
I'm surprised to see it so soon. I thought they'd sworn off "near concurrent" releases after Shattered Star.
what do you mean "near concurrent"?

Releasing the minis at the same time as the AP they relate to.
I seemed to remember them saying they weren't going to try that again (although I was clearly wrong).

No they did say that Shattered Star was quite problematic to sort out, and they didn't want to repeat that too soon. Obviously that didn't last...
wait so wrath of the righteous isn't out yet? Idk i kinda like the idea of ap's being released alongside their miniature sets. It's symmetrical haha. Plus if i wanna save up and blast a whole bunch of cash on an adventure path and its accessories, I might as well buy it all at once
The problem is that the APs often change in development and creatures/NPCs are cut or added after the minis have already been ordered, meaning that some encounters don't have minis and some minis end up being not as important a part of the AP as they were originally envisioned. If Paizo waits until the adventures and art are finished, then they can be sure that the sets match up to what's actually featured in the AP.
ooooooohh i see.

Ah, thanks. At least I wasn't imagining things.
Also if any of the players are following the paizo blog, they're gonna get crazy spoilers!

The first chapter is due out next month so a lot of the development for the entire AP is likely done. The first chapter and maybe the second are off to the printer already.
Meaning they have a good idea what the AP looks like and the AP will be fully published by January.
So a mini release in December works well. Erik has said that they have already seen minis from the next couple releases.
Can't wait for this.
