Very well done fantasy setting. The cultures are a bit too derivative of their real world analogs, but Paizo purposefully avoids too much detail in order to allow for improving and adding your own hooks.
At first, the Golarion setting feels like a fantasy map of the real world, like a collision between Hyborea and the Forgotten Realms. And it does have a bunch of fantasy versions of real world cultures - but it's so cool! It has room for Gothic horror, demon hunting, super science machines controlled by barbarian warlords, age of exploration-style sea adventures. The book takes its time going into some detail about all these interesting and compelling adventuring settings.It's also beautifully t...
Great world building with all sorts of adventure hooks. I'll be glancing through this and seeing new stuff for a long time.

I am a sucker for RPG campaign worlds, and Pathfinder's Golarion is no different. It doesn't evoke the same kind of wonder that the first edition Forgotten Realms box did. It is chock-full of information though. I never knew how closely they tried to mirror our world on Golarion, with a focus on European and African cultures, with a little bit of the east mixed in.I wish there were more detailed adventure hooks for each country, but who are we kidding, they want to publish more campaign books af...
Overall, I liked this book more than I initially expected to.The world of Golarion, as described in this book, is what I refer to as a "kitchen sink" setting. It contains a little bit of just about everything you'd expect to show up in a fantasy setting. This is typical of most core settings for "generic" fantasy RPGs. The Forgotten Realms is the easiest to compare given that it is one of the most famous kitchen sink settings, and was the core setting of D&D 3.5 which Pathfinder essentially repl...
Great setting. Lots of info!
Discreta come introduzione, ma solo la punta dell'iceberg. Il manuale guida il lettore attraverso alcune nozioni fondamentali, ma anche per la sua dimensione (appena 200 pagine) alcune funzioni sono solo accennate, e alcuni meccanismi importanti sono descritti solo sommariamente. Rispetto alle dimensioni del prodotto stesso, questo manuale serve solo come introduzione, e anche come tale �� piuttosto confuso. Purtroppo molte delle immagini sono di relativo aiuto poich�� la nuova versione del soft...
Ainda estou lendo, mas adorei como a ambientação desenvolve as diversas culturas humanas, coisa rara em RPGs medievais.
Terrific setting... Reminds me of the Forgotten Realms in it's heyday
This feels like the fantasy setting with something for everyone. It hits on every clichés/setting that exist in the fantasy genre and is still vaguely compatible with Pathfinder. I feel that it loses in coherency and overall world-building credibility what it gains in versatility. But, by RPG standards, a fun setting.
Yes, I wrote a review a month before finally finishing it. It took some time to work through all the nation descriptions.http://blackdiamondgames.blogspot.com...
An informative introduction to the Inner Sea region of Golarion, the Pathfinder RPG's default setting. Great for GM's or players looking to immerse themselves in the setting's history and culture. This book is pretty much useless, in gaming terms, unless you're running a game in the world; but it's still a fun read, too. Some greatly entertaining fantasy world-building full of tantalizing ideas.
This was a reread. Still a fascinating world, and a good setting.
