I have most of those. There's one or two towns fleshed out with maps, though they aren't very detailed at all. Most of them are pretty decent modules though.
One of the reasons I buy regional supplements is to lessen my work in preparing a campaign. While I want to like this book, using it for my campaign would be just too much work on my end.
On point 1, I probably fall somewhere in the middle. I like to have enough rules books to cover most bases, but am still comfortable winging it via 3.5 interpretations.
On point 2, I like a ready made setting. Though at some point I would like to run a Forgotten Realms game using Pathfinder rules.
I will be running the Kingmaker AP...that's the one my players chose. I just picked up the Inner Sea Primer, and am going the get the Inner Sea World Guide, Gods of the Inner Sea, and Bestiary I next. A lot of the other books you mention are available via the Pathfinder PRD, which I will use...
Thanks for the suggestions guys. More stuff to add to my Amazon wish list! What about Freeport? I see that their is a Pathfinder version of this. I played in a 3.5 Freeport game and really liked it. Are their modules and such to support the Pathfinder version of this setting?
I am planning on starting a Pathfinder campaign and was looking for some help from those with more experience. I played 3.5 from its inception and all through the 4e years. I have dabbled in 5e, but miss the customization 3.5 offered.
I am picking up the Pathfinder core book, the 1st Bestiary...
No cleric spells, but that's no big deal to me. I already have custom Earth, Air, Fire, and Water domains. Now I can edit them and give them more appropriate spells
In addition to short term adventures, I want good sourcebooks (like the Neverinter Campaign Setting. These will always be great adventure generators for me. Short term adventures are much easier to modify and insert.
Oh I totally get it. Maybe I can find a used copy some day. As someone who is "old school" like me, $25 just seems too much to pay for a pdf. To me, nothing can ever replace the visceral feel of a real book in your hands.
Sorry for the confusion. I was referring to the 5th Edition Foes book. I'd like to support companies putting out OGL stuff...but, considering I payed $30 for the MM and got free shipping to boot, it just falls outside my gaming budget.
