You can get demos of Mummy's Mask by our own Liz and Gaby and friends, plus come to the 2 pm PACG seminar where we'll talk about all the cool new stuff!
And then tell all of us who can't be there what you find out!
The We Be Goblins adventure was a lot of fun! Not having to worry about normal things and being like death and mayhem is pretty cool.
From the demo, Mummy is looking to be a GREAT set. As a lover of divine casters, I will have to play the box way too many times to get the full experience.
Please do tell for a poor old soul across the Atlantic!
Just saw a pic of Estra over on Twitter. Aiiieeee!

Estra and Alahazra both have high divine builds with scouting. Alahazra sets things on fire and removes curses. Estra is extra powerful vs. undead. And we know we've got a cleric and a druid in the character add on deck. Zadim is a melee powerhouse reminiscent of Seltyiel, with some bonus scouting. Damiel... is Damiel.
From the panel on the ACG that got out 20 minutes ago: Scouting can be dangerous, and sometimes banes have to be encountered when you scout them. Scenario rules may go onto more than one card. There is a quicksand bunyip, and cats are the new sharks.

There. Is. No. Escape!

Ooh that sounds great. So Damiel, Estra, Alahazra and Zadim, eh? I see Ezren is on the box. Who are the other two? Any Quinn sightings?

By my reckoning, after today we have: Damiel, Alahazra, Estra, and Zadim from the playtest. Gaby indicated she was playtesting Ezren, and Yoon was mentioned. There's Mavaro and a new magus, cleric, and druid in the class deck. So looks like we're missing one. My deepest wish is our favorite investigator, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Yeah I'm keeping my pinkies crossed too.
Maybe someone shooty?
It's a fun guessing game from this side of the pond (so far away from PaizoCon).
If I gather true and false hints form Mike and others, the 11 characters for Mummies could be:
Ahmotep
Alhazra
Channa Ti
Damiel
Drelm
Estra
Ezren
Mavaro
Yoon
Zadim
... and a kind of funny Sylph.
Wonder how many we have right.
Are there any plans to make the goblin scenarios available to the public via the store later on?
Also, which base set are they based on?

There is a quicksand bunyip,
There is, indeed, no escape. And yet I'd've been disappointed if there weren't any.
...and cats are the new sharks.
Clearly, these are Very Good Kitties who just want to Help.
So, filling out Frencois' list a bit more:
Ahmotep, Magus
Alhazra, Oracle
Channa Ti, Druid
Damiel, Alchemist
Drelm, Cleric
Estra, Spiritualist
Ezren, Wizard
Mavaro, Occultist
Yoon, Pyrokineticist
Zadim, Slayer
... and a kind of funny Sylph, Blackguard.
So, with Damiel's penchant for explosions, MM-Alhazra's joy for fire, Ezren's general command of evocaction, and a child pyrokinteticist with a stuffed owlbear (which had BETTER be an ally card), there should be flames and explosions galore.
I'm kind of stunned that Quinn didn't make it (unless we're wrong and he did). I mean, I have a mini for him and everything! We need to get Quinn, Hakon, Kess, Hayato, and Reiko into the mix soonest! (This is the "Managerial We", meaning "y'all".)
I agree that Gom-Gom should be a card.
Maybe, a cohort, I hope the trend started in Wrath continues.
... and a kind of funny Sylph, Blackguard.
Are you sure about this? Because if so that's a very interesting choice, considering Blackguards don't exist in Pathfinder (for those not familiar, they're a D&D 3.5 Prestige Class that was never ported over).
He probably just miswrote: it'd be an Antipaladin, not a Blackguard, if that's what it is. (Still seems like a strange choice to me, but whatever.)
After re-reading I think these are just guesses about what is in MM rather than something confirmed from PaizoCon.

Without being familiar with the RPG, is it just me or is everyone but the 'Blackguard' and the Slayer is sort of a 'caster'? Also, I find it odd that Damiel is the closest-sounding to a Ranged combat character.
Incidentally, is there a source where everyone is getting info on that mysterious 'sylph' character?

Anything I have said is confirmed at PaizoCon, or is one of the four characters from the description of the add-on deck.
Another mechanic that Mummy will have: Traders. Your party gains traders the way we gained fleets in S&S. They will let you trade in acquired loot that you don't want at the end of the scenario for loot you may want more.

P.S. Any news on the Starfinder ACG?
Y'all just idle down a bit there, pal.

Absolutely, nothing official, just guesses... based on may inputs though so I guess a good portion of it is actual facts.
I could make edicated guesses for Starfinder ACG too but not-this-Mike would kill me :-)

First, they (the Starfinder RPG team) don't even have anything established at this point as far as content. It will be a few years before Lone Shark would have material to work with. That would be a decent guess. All we got from the announcement is a setting far in the future of Golarion where technology is a much a part of the setting as magic. That Golarion has disappeared and Absalom Station sits in orbit where Golarion used to be.
They'll introduce at GenCon NEXT year with probably a Player's Guide.
Remember that Mike and crew have other projects besides PACG. MM is still being worked on, the last of the current wave of Class Decks are going to be hitting the streets in the next few months as described. (Remember that July is two decks!) Tanis, Vic and their crew are working on MM as well from Paizo's side as well as the second half of the Season of the Runelords. Also working on the Season of the Goblin mini-season. (Not as easy when you have Longshanks wanting to adventure besides your Goblin brothers and sisters.)
Personally, I'd rather have Apocrypha done and in my grubby little hands that have Lone Shark be working on Starfinder.
Paizo has years and years of RPG adventure content as well as available art. There is nothing for Starfinder.

Y'all take me WAY too seriously. The first I hard of Starfinder was when the icon appeared in the sidebar a few days ago. My first thought was, "Let's jump the gun a bit. No, let's lure the gun into an alley in a high-crime district, jump it with 8 or 12 thugs, strip off its slide, bend it's firing pin, then go through its magazine for spare bullets."
Mike read me just right. (And also gave me an excuse to quote Stranger In A Strange Land.) I was deliberately provoking a "Slooooow down, cowpoke!" reaction.
Taratata I'm being dead serious here. I saw on another thread that someone was wondering if the star iconics will be great great great children of our beloved iconics.
No way!
The heroes of Starfinder will be OUR beloved iconics.
... because they never die.
No brainer.

I'm guessing new iconics, Frencois. We have an android race and a ratfolk race (good at engineering).
