Glad the Numeria fans are finally getting their AP. =0)

Well, this could put a crimp in my plan to run Reign of Winter after Wrath of the Righteous for my "always GM" group.

Oddly, I'm not really fond of Numeria in the overall setting myself, but I'm looking forward to this AP.
Settings that are basically fantasy with "Oh yeah, there's space aliens and high tech stuff too, over here in this corner but they don't really affect anyone's normal life" tend to bother me. One weird guy with high tech toys in a group of knights and wizards rubs me the wrong way.
An AP focused on a science fantasy (sub-)setting? That's cool. It's built into the campaign all along.
That's pretty much how I feel. And that's what I like about Golarion's modularity: you can mix-and-match elements from the distinct regions however you like to tell your story. I wouldn't let Numeria into, say, a Varisia campaign I was running. But the option's there if someone else wants it, and I love the idea of a Numeria-centered campaign with that flavor there from the beginning.

I think this would be a great time to add power armor. I'd better find a character that is drift compatible.

I like imagining Ezren trying to work a computer. Infinite cosmic power at his fingertips, but doesn't know when to not open spam emails.
Technology fails around wizards. Haven't you read about Harry?
I'm really glad this is happening. I know there is going to be a very vocal group of people who are unhappy with a "science fantasy" adventure path ... two of my friends have already responded with 'yuck' and 'ugh' text messages.
The thing for the haters to keep in mind is that while players feel very passionate about this one way or another. And a lot of the developers at Paizo have been eager to try this. At the end of the day Paizo Publishing is a business and they know there is a enough interest in this to make it profitable for them.
So for everyone who is bound to come into this thread and start trashing on Paizo and saying how it is going to ruin Pathfinder ... take a deep breath ... it's not going to ruin the game or the company or your experience. This is 6 months. Play the Mummy AP and then get ready for the "regular" AP that comes after this one.
Thank you Paizo!!! I've been looking forward to something like this since I started playing Pathfinder two years ago.

Wow, so it is true a Numeria/sci-fi type AP, AWESOME!
I can't wait to find out about the other stuff coming out later next year and hope we do get a hardcover book with psychic magic, space ships, new classes, and more.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I have nothing more coherent to say than that at the moment.
This is pretty good news....it is a AP I would want to play in or run...
however....my group tends to be a little of the anti-sci-fi in fantasey crowd.( My only problem with Numeria is I would have made it more geographicaly isolated). So I don't think I will be able to play it...and chances are low to me run it. :(
So if anybody plans on running it in the North NJ area let me know...I'll bring treats.

And a mechanical llama.
if this is good then I will once again start making a hair doll for james jacobs
I started on one for him before but then he basically broke my hair-doll-making heart when he favored a new swashbuckler class over rogues
but if I get Numeria then JJ you are so getting a hair doll once again, I promise

Damn. I need to cut back on spending... and then this. Well, I could always just not buy the pawns....

THAT'S RIGHT! THERE MIGHT BE A MINIS/PAWNS SET!

Keep your fingers crossed that there will be paper minis for this!
THAT'S RIGHT! THERE MIGHT BE A MINIS/PAWNS SET!
I really, really hope that both of next year's APs get minis sets....

Finally! We're getting something on Alkenstar in a efw months and then this? It's a good time to be a Golarion fan.
Can't wait for this!!!!!!!!
Thank you for hearing us, Paizo-gods!!!!
i'd love to incorperate the CPUs from Hyperdimension Neptunia. i totally want to build a Tsundere, Greatsword wielding Aegis named Noire with hardcore OCD. she overworks herself and pushes herself to the point of Fatigue or illness. and gets upset if somebody trims one millimeter off of one of her pigtails but not the other. because of her extreme obsession over Symmetry and Geometrical perfection

why buy masterwork breastplate when i could summon a superior version of it as a move action that also surpasses mithril breastplate at level 7?
I've got enough Paizo APs to last me several years anyway, so it all works out for everyone.
It's funny, I think I would actually be more excited to see Paizo put out an AP I'm not interested in. Every time I look at Skull and Shackles sitting on my bookshelf, it gives me a good feeling because that's 6 books I don't have to find time to run (I like having them for reading).
When they keep putting out APs that I want to play, it's like they're just piling more and more rocks on top of me.
I think I need to push my players into playing more often. Will Handle Animal work for that, or do I need something else? :P
You know, Tel, two APs in five years isn't a bad "miss" rate. I'm willing to bet you've not played all of the APs you've bought. ^^;;
I'm very happy that this AP is coming out for no other reason than hopefully we'll be able to get over all this bickering about alien/robots/lasers vs "boring ol' common fantasy" stuff that so many people are constantly going on about. I don't mind Numeria. Heck, I've got a plot line that involves Numeria in my current Kingmaker campaign. I don't mind aliens. I also have a very alien-intensive Black Tapestry plot line going on in that same Kingmaker campaign that deals a lot with aliens and technology. I believe there's room for all kinds of different roleplaying, despite my greater appreciation for the "boring ol' common fantasy" gaming.
Reading all this crap that seems to constantly go back-and-forth between the two camps certainly does get old, though. Real old.
This thread is about Numeria's new AP. I'll never play it, but I'll definitely own it because I try to get all the lore I can. And besides that, I don't have to turn Golarion into Deep Space Nine or Babylon 5 with spaceship armadas and high-powered laser tech if I don't wish to. I fully support all those who desire to do so, however! (This is in answer to a sourcebook containing such things as spoken above, for those who are scratching their heads right now.)
I do think it would be interesting if Paizo did give some interesting archtypes that fit Numeria tech and the like though. Standard fantasy fare might not be as interesting to play in a game that's high tech. Also, I definitely hope they deliver on the Technic League and the political happenings in Numeria, as well. Those are the things that interest me about that region the most!

I will be gazing fondly at this picture for the rest of the day.
That picture always makes me want to start cheering for the HMS Thunderchild!
Oh sweet yes. All the YES

I won't be getting this AP, the mummy's mask yes!!, but not this one (of course i also said i wasn't going to get Shattered Star, and that is currently one of my favorites behind Skull & Shackles, Kingmaker, RotRL AE and Jade Regent)
I hope that we get a supplement that gives us a lot of juicy gifts for Androids! :)
Council of Thieves was the only AP I didn't like. But I digress.
I had a strong feeling an AP focused on Numeria was coming. The APs just keep getting better and better. :D
I'm glad to see the blood sacrifices I made earlier have appeased the great James Jacobs in the sky and lo, Numeria AP.
Now to do the same for an Arcadia AP :D
I honestly love the concept of Machine Gods. As corny as 40K can be sometimes, I always loved the concept of the Machine Spirit and the Omnissiah.

I'm not keen on the concept, but I'm more than willing to sit back and wait to see what they do with it!

A thousand huzzahs! I've always been a fan of science-fantasy and atypical fantasy. Keep up the great work, Paizo!
