I'm not really a fan of turning worlds upside down and changing the way things work. When we moved from 3.5 to the Pathfinder RPG rules, we didn't really have any in-game event to explain the change at all. We've put too much work into the world to break it, basically.As for the concern about overdetailing the world... we're releasing a HUGE amount of material for Golarion. On average, between the Adventure Paths, Companions, Modules, and Chronicles lines, we're putting out an average of about 192 pages of content a month. That's 2,304 pages a year. Or just over two million words per year.Yet even at that pace, there's a LOT of material we haven't yet covered in Golarion. And furthermore, one of our design philosophies is that for every secret or region we explore, we try to create two more for further expansion—the analogy of the logger who plants two trees for every one he cuts down is pretty accurate. Whenever we do gazetteers for regions, we try to leave some mysteries unsolved.The links to the Darklands in Carrion Hill is a good example of keeping room for further expansion open—so is the fact that there's a lot of other areas in that town that could still harbor all sorts of locations.</blockquote>
