[QUOTE="delericho, post: 4552873, member: 22424"] I don't think the campaign setting is going to change with the new rules. There are some 'crunchy bits' in the existing setting books that may change, but these are pretty minimal in the books I've seen (and I would be surprised if Paizo didn't publish a free conversion guide). However the fluff, which is 95%+ of the books I've seen, will probably change not at all. Updated, no. Superceded, yes. The Gazetteer presents the world in brief, while the setting book covers the same information in much more detail. So, if you have the setting book, you don't 'need' the Gazetteer. However, you might still find it useful as a player's guide, since as I understand it it lacks all the DM-specific information. Not really. Think of "Libris Mortis" or "Draconomicon", but remove all the crunch from those books. That's what you're getting here - vastly expanded ecology and society guides for the monsters covered. This is an excellent product, but I should note that it details Korvosa at the start of the "Curse of the Crimson Throne" adventure path. I'm not sure what assumptions Paizo are making with their setting material going forward - this book may now be obselete. I really like the setting, and will probably be using it as my 'base' setting going forward (that is, unless I have a good reason to set a campaign somewhere else, it will be based there). Part of the attraction is the old-school nature of the setting, which makes it immediately familiar to players, while at the same time it doesn't have the accumulated body of lore of, say, FR, which means all the mysteries remain new. (Plus, it's sufficiently obscure that I won't have to deal with a 'setting lawyer' for quite some time, if ever - something that I have occasionally had problems with in the past.) [/QUOTE]
