[QUOTE="WesSchneider, post: 4898369, member: 74102"] Like what Primal said, one of the major philosophies of Golarion is that it's meant to be a world for you no matter what you want to do. You want crusading knights, we've got that. You want princes and politics, check. You want Arabian Nights, got it. You want strange menaces from the depths, got that too. The setting is built by folks you have spent their whole lives playing RPGs and love a lot, a lot, a lot of different things - not just one adventure or style of play. So it's really built to draw upon the tropes of the the past 35+ years of gaming and expand upon them for folks who like one or many different styles of play. At the same time, why rehash the old. We've learned a lot from doing D&D and RPG and world design for a long time - especially through [I]Dragon [/I]and [I]Dungeon [/I]magazines - and wanted to show you something new. Thus, our deities are and aren't your same old rank and file warring gods of good and evil - they're personalities and figures with some very evocative goals. The planes are familiar but wildly different. The creatures you discover there come from the history of RPGs and wholly new stuff. The planets play a role in the setting, and aren't just untouchable stars in the sky. Prophecy isn't a set tale of things to come, it's up to the PCs to write their own future. And even goals as vague and unattainable as godhood are not just possible, but are core to the world's history. So yeah, Golarion's a living world that we'll be expanding on officially every month via our Pathfinder Adventure Paths, Pathfinder Chronicles, and Pathfinder Companion lines, but even more than that it really grows every day with our wildly creative and prolific fanbase. I'd encorage you to check out what's out there already, not just the Campagin Setting book, but the vast amount of content the community is already putting out for free (just Google "Wayfinder Fanzine" "Pathfinder Wiki" or check out the Pathfinder Database at Pathfinderdb.com). That's kind of the coolest thing. Golarion's turning into way more than just a campaign setting or the setting of a few books, it's the setting for one of the most impressive pieces of shared world building and imagining I've ever seen as a roleplayer and I couldn't be more excited to see what's coming out tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after. But that's just me. :P [/QUOTE]
