Weird... I am not a huge fan of Golarion... but now I have a strange desire to try bringing the Orcs of Thar into Golarion.... Thanks for that! There were some very good bits to Mystara, Glantri and Thar chief among them, for me at least.Great advice has been given so far, I just wanted to chime in!
While I have not played 30 years (I'm on my 23rd now), I have played all incarnations (including a lot of 4e) as well. I just started playing Pathfinder at the beginning of this year (2011) and fell in love with it instantly!
I enjoyed 3.5, so it was familiar to me once we got going, which was great. I ran a 6 month campaign before getting too busy to continue (for the last 6 months), but I am beginning a new PF campaign in January (2012) and am very excited!
Again, great advice has been given and many books have been mentioned, but I wanted to suggest one that has not yet. I just picked up the Inner Sea World Guide which is the campaign setting for Golarion and it is amazing. With you only just now considering getting started, you may not need this book yet (hence the other books mentioned initially so far), but if you are looking for a new setting definitely check this book out
I've been a big fan of Mystara since I first started playing. One of the great things about that setting is the idea that it has "something for everyone", and this setting is similar.
Anyway, I hope you give Pathfinder a shot and enjoy it as much as my players and I have![]()
