More details:*
The first five volumes of the AP will deal with the PCs locating five robot lions. In the final volume, the PCs must unlock the secrets of combining the robots into a single giant robot with a blazing vorpal sword!

I wonder if this will move the Golarion setting in a more techno-fantasy direction as a whole. Up till now Numeria has been something of a forgotten backwater, but with a full AP and other support material (techno-fantasy hardcover perhaps?) bringing it center stage for 1/2 year, it seems like it will shake up the rest of the setting a bit.
I don't see why; it will probably just stand in the same stead as all the other APs thus far (with the minor exception of Shattered Star) and make no assumptions as to when/where/why/how/if it actually took place in the Golarion timeline, and any consequences that may have emerged as a result of its completion will be left to individual campaigns.
Perhaps at some point, if the designers decide to advance Golarion's timeline, it will factor into things, but I'm guessing that will be a long ways off, if ever.
(EDIT: I mean, I see why you might be concerned about it, but my reasoning for why it probably won't still stands.)
Hopefully this will mean we get a fairly conventional ap after this, maybe finally the one with a dragon as the bbeg.
I guess I get what you're saying, but Mikaze said that the structure would be similar to RotRL, i.e. fairly conventional... Besides, to me it sounds ripe for a Skymetal Dragon ally ;-)
I'm liking the sound of it, and not because it's a robot-sci-fi thing, but because of all the aspects that aren't really sci-fi but just part of Golarion, the drug-addled/skymetal-rich barbarian autarchy of Numeria, dominion of the black, sentient/godling constructs with some off-golarion connection, possibly the other planet of golarion's system that is ruled by robots? To me that isn't leaving the story line of Golarion, it's fully part of it.
I guess you just gotta deal with it.
What I am hoping is that with the Numeria AP in the Fall, there may be be a decent chance at robots appearing in the Bestiary 5 (assuming there is one). Now THAT would be awesome.
Even if there are robots in bestiary 5, there would be maximum 7 of them, just like all other groups always get, maybe even only 3 or 5.
I don't think Paizo will risk an entire robot bestiary, well maybe then call it Inner Sea Bestiary 2.
I am hoping for a Bestiary 5 but more then likely it will be the NPC Codex 2 or something else less interesting to me. But if there is a Bestiary 5 next year then some more robot and alien monsters would be nice.
At least there will be two APs that I am interested in next year.

Hooray, Numeria!

Ashton, if you're going to play the AP then do it. *steeple hands in front of face*I'm having a hard time getting through this thread's AT field.
I'm gonna play the $#!& out of this AP.
I HATE YOU, BEN! I'M NEVER GONNA PILOT AN AP AGAIN! WAAA!
You'll always be my Gendo, sir.

Not on my watch! Numeria is our techno fantasy playground, but what happens in Numeria stays in Numeria! :) if you want this style of fantasy gaming, go to Numeria, but you aren't going to see robots invading the River Kingdoms or stun rays swinging the tide in Andoran. Golarion is a classic fantasy world when taken as a whole and that is where I want it to stay.

I'm not so much of a hater tho as i'm mostly overreacting, but my only fear is that this is a big hit and that the normal fantasy slowly disappears into nothingness to be replaced for 100% by lasers and robots because the Starwars junkies always demand more.
No. And I am the biggest Star Wars fan in the world. But, I own Paizo, so you can take it to the bank.

It'd be funny if caffeinated fey built the robots in numeria but the robots didn't get programmed so you'll see fey bite marks everywhere xD

I am so pleased to see this! I've been wanting more on Numeneria from the start. Thumbs up, Paizo!

I guess it's a matter of taste. This is SO on my list. I've always played and preferred more sci/fantasy than straight fantasy. Things like Wild Arms, Wizardry, Might and Magic. And no, I'm not expecting (or even asking) for Golarion to become like any of those worlds. But when some of it does leak through, I'm all over it!

Star Wars... you mean that movie where the farmboy meets a wizard who tells him to become a knight and then they go off to save a princess? ;)
