[QUOTE="ssampier, post: 5597577, member: 10205"] [b]I have too many settings already[/b] I always thought Golarion was a generic setting like any other (like a pastiche of Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms with some Mona and Jacobisms). Then I started reading the Inner Sea book in a bookstore. Wow. The production values are awesome. The back story is decent, too. When the god Aroden died the place went to hell in a hand basket. Steaming Jungles with ruins of floating castles ruled by sentient apes? Wicked. Demon worshipers legitimized? Awesome. Arabia and Egypt (and the Mwagli Expanse, too) in a separate continent with a geography that makes sense? Oh yeah. High tech gone beserk? Yes, not my cup of tea, but it's in there. Mammoths, tigers, and bears? Oh my. From my reading I am not loving the "happy places" like Andoran. I know why they included it, though, and cannot fault them for doing so. Also, the gods seem a bit bland to me. Maybe they have more flavor if I read between the lines. More likely I am just bit jaded and one gods sounds the same as the next. :p Golarion is not generic, just adaptable. As for buying it yet, I'm not sure yet. How much Mythos is there? I know the [URL="http://paizo.com/store/blog/v5748dyo5lc8p"]Carrion Crown book 4[/URL] has some. [/QUOTE]
