Right? best 5e book in my opinionAh hell, I always forget Ravnica. I shouldn't have forgotten Wildemount, either.

I'm excited about Abomination Vaults, but I hope in general they continue making shorter adventure paths so they can reach more playstyles and interests.
I'm hand crafting it into Roll20 as an exercise in trying to learn the system and challenge myself. Looks like a good one though I don't know when I'd realistically get a chance to run it.Playing through Abomination Vaults right now. It's very good.
FR is significantly more... I guess "coherent" is as good a word as any. Forgotten Realms has a core region that's pretty much "standard D&D", basically the north-west corner of Faerûn (the Vast, Cormyr, Sembia, the Dalelands, the Moonsea, the Dragon Coast, and the Sword Coast (previously known as the Western Heartlands and the Savage North)). Beyond that, you have some outlying regions that do different things, like Mulhorand. But each country in Golarion is basically its own little sub-genre — gothic horror in Ustalav, vikings in the Land of the Linnorm Kings, wild eternal revolution in Galt, and so on. That's pretty different from the Forgotten Realms.So is FR, but some people still want something different.

I don't think Golarion is Paizo's equivalent of the Forgotten Realms. It's their equivalent of Mystara.
I think that this cohesion has been added as part of Pathfinder 2, particularly the Lost Omens Guide. So much like FR, Golarion has been thematically grouped into regions: e.g., Saga Lands, Eye of Dread, Old Cheliax, Shining Kingdoms, Broken Lands, etc.FR is significantly more...
