Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zelda Themelin" data-source="post: 5891924" data-attributes="member: 167">I like Greayhawk bit more actually, more freedom, more classic feel. Used it so long. I have started to warm up to Golarion too. It's ok, but bit too "earthlike". I've gotten used to it too, but it's big turn-off for me. However I also found out they made "races" more personal, so it's not carbon copy of some historical mythology age.I like Scarred Lands best though. I really like the mythology. Later material however tried to overwrite it to general setting, and I hated it. I like Golarion for constancy. I would like all areas have more "cost of living"/"house prices"/"rent prices"/travel prices/ship prices etc. it comes up often in my games. Detail in splatbooks seems to vary and swing to whatever stuff writer likes more. I'd like some general info told similar way in every area book, so they are easier to compare. I would devote that like one page max 2. Also it bit bothers me adventure timelines seem to vary a lot from general one, but really sneekily. "Wait Aroden died 30 years ago, what?": That kinda.Golarion feels pretty similar to Greyhawk themewise. I like the planes and gods are neat though mostly not as awesome as Scarn ones. They are bit Greayhawkish actually. I dislike too direct Lovecraft rip-offs, mostly names. It woudn't be an issue if they would be stat-wise kinda that, but since they aren't it's unnessecery and misleading.I really dislike Forgotten Realms. I always have, since the unreadable grey box. It did have some good stuff I used to steal for Greyhawk. I am happy Golarion is more like Greyhawk and less like that junkyard. I kinda dislike Eberron too, mostly for same reasons.I think Golarion is actually very much better than Greyhawk, but not better than my Greyhawk. MY greyhawk consisted of that boxed set some oldie moduless, and some of gazetters actually made for Mystara. Greyhawk was rather thin deal, and I wasn't too found of second edition material for it. But that first boxed set was so inspiring. Bit like Scarn Gazetter was. Golarion never made such a impression. It's much slower foundness. Then again later material has made me like Golarion more, not less. Which is why I still subscribe so many Pathfinder things.</blockquote>
