Message: <blockquote data-quote="TheSleepyKing" data-source="post: 4892488" data-attributes="member: 63491">I’ll take a shot:My favourites so far have been two of the first: Guide to Korvosa and Guide to Darkmoon Vale. (Incidentally, I actually think the Absalom one was the weakest of all the Chronicles so far, and about the only Chronicles product I’ve been disappointed in. I suspect in part that’s because Absalom is far too big to detail in 64 pages).Korvosa is a city guide, and you could easily move Korvosa to a homebrew world. It’s one of the most organic, realistic feeling cities I’ve ever seen detailed in an RPG.  It’s also got tons of plot hooks and a host of colourful characters and plenty of unique locations to explore. I should note that it’s the setting for the second adventure path (Crimson Throne), and it does get a little trashed during the course of that adventure.Guide to Darkmoon Vale is a kind of a mini-campaign setting, going into depth on the northern part of the nation of Andoran. Again, it’s very organic with a lot of plot hooks, including werewolf packs, faerie queens, dragon kings and a Sopranos-esque logging consortium. It’s probably best suited to low-ish level characters, and a number of Paizo’s GameMastery modules are actually set in the vale.I’m also a big fan of The Great Beyond, which is a wonderful source of inspiration for planar, extraterrestrial and other adventures set in wacky environs.A lot of people are also fans of the Classic X Revisited series, especially the first one (Monsters). They’re not really that Golarion-specific, though. You might want to also check out some of the Pathfinder Companion line – Taldor, Osirion and Qadira in particular. Although they’re technically in a different product line, these are very similar to the Chronicles products, detailing an area of Golarion. They’re cheaper than the Chronicles, but only half the length (32 pages instead of 64).</blockquote>
