It looks Seoni and Harsk will be making triumphant returns. This pleases me.
Although they are on the box art of the Add-On Deck for now, bloodrager, hunter and shaman are in the product description.... Of those, shaman is the only one on the current box art. Interesting to see the skald randomly on the artwork. But yeah, it would be nice if the ranger and sorcerer both come back.

You are always mentioning their classes, but not their namey such as Alain, Kyra, etc.
So what names of characters are included in the new set finally?

That mock up for the base set box is pretty sick! I notice that we're looking at April too. I'm glad it didn't get squeezed into the Feb slot like it initially would have been.
I'm also excited at the prospect of the 4th set coming in Octoberish as opposed to releasing at Gencon.
Not me. I like the Gen Con release, saves me on shipping and I get to play the new set with all my friends that I only see at Gen Con. No new set means I have to haul a set up with me and back if I want to play it.

I get what you're saying completely, and maybe it's my own overreaction to launch this year, but it would seem that the timeframes separating themselves for launches of new rpg ap's and card game ap's might help overall and give an overall better consumer experience. Or maybe the 4th set will be expedited. Whatever works best for the overall good of the game itself I shall support.

I actually like the start of the seasons being GenCon. If they push the following set (after WotR) to October, then the PFSACG season starts then as well. Which means we're playing the previous season of organized play as opposed to PFSRPG which ends at GenCon and begins the new season there.
Yes, it is a lot of work and I feel for Paizo trying to cycle the PACG at GenCon as well as two PFS products. But it is a let down if we (PFSACG) have to wait another month and a half.

If there's another goblin for a promo card, which would be a lot of fun, it should be a goblin who thinks he's a paladin. Borrowing ideas from Munchkin, but he should be wearing his "helm of courage."
I'd even give him a power similar to Ranzak where after he defeats a monster, he rolls a d6 and on 4-6, he immediately explores again.

I'm not entirely sure if Kyra has been confirmed. Seelah (Paladin) seems to be confirmed. Inquisitor, hunter, and shaman should all also be divine casters if they follow what the classes are like in the RPG, so that would be a total of four divine characters already. I don't know if they'll be putting Kyra in this set or not.
It's kind of fun not being in the playtest this year and being able to speculate about what's in the new set.

Thanks Mike, I thought I had read that Kyra was a part of this before, and it makes sense given Wrath's theme.
Knowing this, and going on absolute conjecture with no basis in reality, I don't think they would have an iconic cleric and a promo character cleric at the same time.
There is only one answer then: GOBLIN DEMON HUNTER.

Vic, does that mean that the set following will be coming after GenCon?
We are hoping to be on an April/October cycle now. The impact on the OP schedule is yet to be determined (but I will say, as I'm important as Gen Con is, keep in mind that, ultimately, it's just one weekend out of 52 each year).

Kyra is confirmed.
Spiffy! So now the question is if Seoni and Harsk are really the other two retuning characters in this set or if the current Character Add-On art just stuck on four mostly random characters (since the Shardra Geltl is the only one confirmed by the product descriptions).

As a thought I just had based on your statement, I think that this might work out a bit better in the long run for OP. I would like to see a season special, very similar to PFS, but how I imagine a season closer is that it would require a full set of cards (all 6 adventures in one box) to pull off properly.

Yes, but it's my favorite weekend!
Sigh. I guess I can still hope that future Class Deck releases, if/when they happen, won't then line up with new base sets. The main reason I was able to get them all at once is that I budget/save money for Gen Con, without that extra padding it would be rough getting them in, say, April.
