Now up for preorder! Kostchtchie! Casmaron! Iobaria! Frost giants! Cover image is a mockup and will change.
She's gonna get frostbite without a shirt on.
Congrats to colleague Tim Hitchcock!
Delighted to see another chapter announced! Woohoo!
Iobaria! Squueeeeeeee!
Frost Giants, sounds like you should be higher then level 7.
Frost Giants, sounds like you should be higher then level 7.Interesting, isn't it?
A few beta Mythic rules being used?
Iobaria, a land that reminds me of Beowulf. I hope we get a supplement that gives more detail on this part of the world.

I know they have a gazetteer for Iobaria in the third Kingmaker adventure. That said, it has a very Slavic feel to it that I really like, especially being founded by Ulfen Vikings, which is a parallel to Kiev Rus (modern day Ukraine).

so, "Maiden, Mother, Crone" is a REALLY awesome name for an adventure - not kidding, it's the best Iv'e seen in years ("Seven days to the grave" was also kinda cool).
And this is a dungeon heavy module with Mr. Hitchcock? I still have good memories from Trial of the Beast (and good nightmares from Carnival of Tears, too). Looking forward to this AP! so many good things!

I really liked the vague nature of the gazetteer in KM(AP #33) - but I do not mind a more detailed look onto/into Deeprun Crevasse. While the coastal regions and the "kingdoms" along the Ardshrod River were ok, the heart lands including the woods and Syrzemyan Highlands intrigued me much more.
Questions:
Besides: clever Paizonians - it's all there!
massive stone mesas are visible from many Iobarian
cliffs despite the distance. Crudely carved into the cliffs
are three nude female humanoid figures of uncanny
scale, their bodies at least a half-mile long. While their
race is unclear, the figures show a long-haired maiden,
a pregnant matron, and a hunchbacked crone, each
holding up a hand and warning the viewers away (though
from what is unclear).

Hmmm, "three ancient, mystically linked dungeons" according to the product description, plus a certain set of three carved mesas according to Ruyan's spoiler. This sounds interesting ... and it's a Hitchcock module to boot!
I'm certainly buying the Reign of Winter AP, so I just hope that there's good information about Iobaria/Casmaron in this installment. (I don't have Kingmaker #3 - someone else is supposed to run it.)
I suspect we won't get more info on Casmaron in general, just Iobaria.
Am I the only one that thought Game of Thrones when I read the title to this AP?
The write-up will hopefully be another great piece of work by JJ - like the article in Dragon #345!
Ruyan.
No problem, none at all. Both have their unique style. SKR writing the article-to-come, means expanding the scope of the older one no matter what the focus will be.
Thanks, Adam!
Ruyan.
Just to add (and counter all that hype about going to earth and Triaxus, blablabla):
I'm actually most excited about this installment of the AP, because it has more info about Iobaria (which I'm eager to know more about since AP #33), or at least about Deeprun Crevasse, it brings back Kostchtchie and - if following the origins of the triumvirate of mother, maiden, crone (see e. g. Hecate, patron goddess of "crossroads, entrance-ways, fire, light, the Moon, magic, witchcraft, knowledge of herbs and poisonous plants, necromancy, and sorcery") - opens up really cool new interpretations as to what Baba Yaga might represent in the world of Golarion.
In short: this will rock!
Ruyan.
Updated product with final cover image and description!
Yeah that is an awesome centaur image, so different from the standard hot weather equipped/furred ones!
Nice cover and with a centuar no less.
Article about irresen's strange interest with dolls, sounds interesting and toyetic.
COOOL! THat centaur kicks mayor ass already! Best Centaur picture is in Paizo's pocket as wel! Now up for the Behir :p
Overal very interesting AP! And the bestiary gained a 5th member again! COOL! Thanks pathfinder for being so cool :)
First impression: I want to play a centaur as my next PC class! So cool! Great cover!
Ruyan.
Was the location of the gazetteer changed?
Or are "Deeprun Crevasse" and "Dvezda Marches" one and the same place?
Or is one located within the other?

The Deeprun Crevasse is a geographical feature in the region that is called the Dvezda Marches (which is in the northeastern edge of Iobaria).
Thanks!
Is that also where the adventure will take place?
Northeastern edge, so thats as far away from the inner sea as you can get in Iobaria ... unless you take a shortcut over the crown of the world ... which Kostchtchie probably did.
Any news on Sjohvornor?
Ruyan.
May 1st eh? yeesh!
Really liked my volumes 1 & 2, looking forward to being able to page through this puppy. Arooo..
This is probably the first time I've seen a product have its date of released moved earlier. Might not see this type of event again.
P.S. This is Awesome!

I have it on good authority that the monsters in this AP Bestiary are extra-super-plus-good! And several are creepy-weird too!Yeah, Sean did good!
Ha! Just kidding, Jason. You provided a sinister batch of monsters. :)
Shhhh... no teasers.
Yes, of course, oh dread flumph! I tease only their awesomeness... :)
so, "Maiden, Mother, Crone" is a REALLY awesome name for an adventure - not kidding, it's the best Iv'e seen in years ("Seven days to the grave" was also kinda cool).Glad Paizo stayed away from using Maiden, Mother, Matron and went for something original.
... huh? One's no more original than the other. Heck, I've heard/seen Maiden-Mother-Crone much, much more often in reference to the triune goddess than Maiden-Mother-Matron.
Not for me. Mine says it won't be shipping out until May 17th. I feel like that isn't right...

You might also wanna check Hecate on e.g. Wikipedia - fits the bill quite nicely (see my post above from January, 28th).

That is a cool looking centaur. I too have changed centaurs according to region and climate in my setting (zebrataurs).

Wait, this AP has a Dread Flumph in the adventure? Or just in the bestiary?
It's more likely a reference to Daigle's current avatar picture. :)
