It offers something for everyone, and yet somehow avoids a contrived 'kitchen sink' feel to it. The more distinct parts of the setting exist logically, not arbitrarily. And here's another consideration: I guess I'm a grognard, because the majority of my time spent with a 'traditional' fantasy RPG were first edition. I got married, had a kid- got a lot of pressure to give the hobby up, finally got divorced (for various reasons). I missed all of 2nd edition and only started playing in the early autumn of 2007. I missed most of Forgotten Realms and didn't have any of the books or materials.  Golarion is great setting, and it gives someone new or coming back to the hobby a great place to start.. without 20 + years of legacy. That's not a sleight to FR at all, but a practical consideration I had to make and for which I've never been disappointed.</blockquote>
