I'm probably the only one that thinks this, but isn't such a compilation a disincentive to continue a pathfinder subscription. I do not subscribe - one of my players does - making the material much less valuable to me anyway.

It seems to this outsider that a 4e version is the only way a person currently subscribing would consider buying the book. Dual-statting or 3.5 would make the current pathfinders much less valuable from my point of view.

Its a campaign setting. Not an adventure path compilation.

$50 ... I can afford it, I will buy it, I may accidently dribble on the cover.

I am a gamer, out of gaming for 14 years, who returned to DM DnD with Rise of the Runelords. Paizo is my gaming company!

I really hope many of the gazetteers (Darkmoon vale, especially) are systemless.

They are, for the most part. I mean we might tell you an NPC's class or level or something, but they are not filled with prestige classes, spells, and magic items. They're setting books.

It's Pathfinder Chronicles, not Pathfinder. The small (but important) difference is that Pathfinder covers the adventure paths ("A Game Mastery Adventure Path"), while Pathfinder Chronicles covers general information about the game world.

There's also the GameMastery adventures, which also play in the same setting (Golarion).

Paizo is my gaming company!

Same here.


Their motto seems to be "Others have new rules, we have new ideas".

Hmm...I like the product, but I am not understanding where it fits in my subscription scheme.

Is it a rehash of material I will be getting in my pathfinder subscription but in hardcover?

No. Everything you need to run a Pathfinder Adventure Path comes in Pathfinder itself. For example, "Rise of the Runelords" is set in a nation called Varisia, and everything you need to make that nation come alive for the campaign is provided in the monthly Pathfinder volumes. That said, there are 39 other countries (or so) in the world of Golarion, and this book gives you a lot of information about those to help you set your own campaigns there or to give you background ideas to help you add additional flavor to your Pathfinder campaigns.

The book is not a compilation of material from Pathfinder. Think of Pathfinder as the Age of Worms Adventure Path, and the Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting as a World of Greyhawk book.

By the way: Will there be PDF versions for all the Pathfinder Chronicles stuff, especially this CS? Will there be a Chronicles Subscription that offers free PDFs?
