SO IT IS IN YOUR WAREHOUSE!?!?!?!?!

You betcha! Arrived yesterday along with Worlds of Their Own, our fantasy anthology written by some of the game industry's brightest and best. I have to say that the Beta looks and feels amazing!

Does this last post show Lisa's alignment (or world view) to be Lawful Evil?
I think so. She is following the company line of not releasing it early, but she is Taunting us. She is the anti paladin of Paizo now right?

I've always thought of myself more as Chaotic Good. I generally have the good interests of everyone in mind, but it can be a little hard to figure out from my actions. My desk is an absolute mess, though I tend to know where everything is. And I love to playfully rib folks about things. Like this wonderful Beta I am running my fingers over. The pages are so silky and smooth. It speaks to me about things like CMB. Ahhhhhh.

Yep, waiting....

Waiting.....

Still waiting....

At least I have the Pathfinder Campaign Setting to keep me busy.

I've actually never read a campaign setting book cover to cover before, but here I am on page 72 and I'm doing just that. Wonderful, delicious, succulent campaign setting. Yummy.....

You're evil, Drader.

My Pathfinder CS hasn't gotten to my house yet.

You think that's bad. I'm likely going to have to wait until the end of the month to buy it at my FLGS and that's IF it doesn't sell out right away.

Yeah I hope my FLGS won't sell out of Beta too. Man I'm going to get an ulcer.. *cries*

Better get your preorder in quick. They said it's going to be a short print run.

So Darrin, what's the difference between the Campaign Setting and the Gazeteer from earlier this year (besides page count)? Is it worth the money or are you getting the same material twice?

If all you want is details of the nations, the Gazetteer will do you just fine. Mind you, the nations take up 100 pages in the CS, so even they got expanded. But the real difference is that there are PrCs (including the Pathfinder PrC), Feats (even plenty specific to nations), the Planes, details on lost nations, Gods get a column instead of a paragraph, intermediate and demigods get love, other continents, psionics get 2 pages, guns. (and that's just the stuff I've skimmed thus far, that doesn't include the stuff I haven't skimmed).

EDIT: I will admit, I am a little disappointed that the world map appears remarkably similar to the Gazetteer's map. But it is still an awesome book, regardless. Maybe the physical map in the book itself is larger then the one in the Gazetteer, I don't know.
