[QUOTE="ggroy, post: 4846658, member: 83805"] I remember the days when the 1E AD&D Forgotten Realms grey box setting was first released. I didn't have the grey box at the time, but I played briefly in a friend's 1E AD&D game which used it as a setting. Back then, there were not many Forgotten Realms novels published yet. It was actually very nice to be playing in a new setting with very little legacy baggage. One reason I really like Paizo/Pathfinder's Golarion setting at the present time, is that it is relatively new and fresh. It reminds me a lot of the days when the Forgotten Realms setting was first released. In most likelikhood, I may very well end up changing my mind about Golarion if Paizo ever starts releasing novels written in the Golarion setting. With a line of regular Golarion novels being published, it may very well end up suffering the same fate that Forgotten Realms fell into over the last two decades. This same fate may also happen anyways, with more and more Pathfinder adventure paths and modules being published which end up being perceived as official Golarion canon. This neverending problem of more and more canon, while producing "setting lawyers" in the process, can easily turn off somebody from a setting altogether. [/QUOTE]
