WOTR pregens, eh? Looking forward to it...
I love the pregens and buy them all, but what is it with the moustache-less beards??
If it's good enough for Abraham Lincoln and Highfather Izaya the Inheritor, then hell yes it's good enough :)
...also, what the heck is up with your Schoolhouse Rock thing?
So any chance of a catfolk in this one?
Sadly, no. It wasn't really in the cards for this one. And there were way too many other, compelling character concepts and races to draw upon for Righteous Heroes. If you're interested, here's the breakdown I'm going with in this set:
Aasimar (1)
Dwarf (1)
Elf (1)
Half-Elf (1)
Humans (3)
Tiefling (1)
Essentially, we always do eight PCs, typically two for each of the primary roles (combat, arcane, divine, and skill). That way, you've got multiple options to select from when forming your adventuring party for the AP in question. Following that, I try to make sure at least three of the characters are human (because this tends to be a humanocentric game and campaign setting). And then, I divvy up the remaining slots among various demihumans and non-traditional races which I think make the most sense for the AP in question.
For instance, I chose an elf, gnome, and sylph for the fey-themed, kingdom-building PCs in Conquering Heroes. I also provided a changeling and a dhampir for the Gothic Heroes set. Of course, I got away from the paradigm in Imperial Heroes by including five humans to just three traditional demihumans, but that seemed more appropriate given that we needed to include enough humans to demonstrate the culture clash between the cultures of the East and the West.
So, for Righteous Heroes, an aasimar and tiefling seemed like no-brainers, and the other roles went to character races which are generally popular for any game (i.e., elves, half-elves, and occasionally a dwarf, gnome, or halfling). Down the road, catfolk may eventually figure into something, but, right now, I'd probably reserve that for a desert- or jungle-themed AP, or maybe even a winter-themed campaign if I were to use a snow leopard/tiger analogue.
Mummy's Mask seems like a catfolk or two would be entirely reasonable.
Or maybe Legacy of Fire? (Not sure if you would do Pregens for 3.5 adventure paths)
We haven't crossed any APs off our to-do list, but creating material for a 3.5 AP would certainly be further off. Of course, if and when Paizo updates an AP to Pathfinder rules (as they did with Rise of the Runelords), they come much more fully into range for us. So, never say never.

Legacy of Fire is one of my favorite APs, and I do have some stuff written in draft form that we could use, but there's a fair bit of ground to travel between "written in draft form" and "ready to sell product," and we're pretty maxed out on our throughput right now as it is.
Like Neil said: Never say never, but probably not soon.
Awesome, easily my favorite 'series' of books, when can expect the final product for Righteous Heroes?
Working on the final text for it right now. All the art is ready and approved. So, after I finish my part, it should go to directly to layout.
Who says bad guys get to have all the fun?Um me?
I like your style :D
Is soon now? Is Hugo Solis involved??
Should hopefully be soon. I just hit a snag with adapting the campaign traits so they fit each character's background a bit better. Additionally, I've just picked up my first cold of the year. Fever, sore throat, sinus issues. It's going to be a long Labor Day, but I'll see if I can finish them tonight.

Just so you know, I'm with DM on this one :) Or maybe she's with me is the better way to put it.
Any chance of a more in depth listing of heroes? classes, etc?

Alright. I'm officially done with the text and I've turned it over to Jason so he can turn the proofreaders and layout artists loose on it. Final product should be ready soon.

Is it soon yet?
It's definitely soon. But I think the product release got held up in the layout stage. There are lots of irons in the fire and the layout crew is working as swiftly as they can.

Yep. I've added several new layout artists to get things done, and I've seen the first background/border templates for the Righteous Crusade AP Plug-Ins, and they are looking good. A few tweaks and we'll be ready to forge ahead with the final version.

It's out, it's out! Huzzah. Now if there was only a way to remember my account on the LG site...
