[QUOTE="Hexmage-EN, post: 4849878, member: 79428"] I didn't start playing TTRPG's until 2005, so I may be wrong, but from what I understand Golarion was partly designed to be a fantasy kitchen sink where elements from almost any official D&D setting could be inserted. You've even got "Expedition to the Barrier Peaks - Land" in Numeria. Personally, I don't like using a published campaign setting for two reasons: one, I'd rather make up my own, and two, reading the published descriptions for fleshed out areas makes me feel uneasy about making up my own material for another part of the world that isn't quite as fleshed-out. The closest thing to a published setting I'd consider using is the "Map of Mystery" at the end of the last print issue of Dungeon since it's just a map with some evocative place names. As for Paizo being the king of fluff, I definitely agree, but I'll also add that they often go overboard and put in detailed descriptions and backstories that the PCs will never learn about. That does make the modules more interesting for the DM to read, though. [/QUOTE]
