However, eyeballing the amount of shelf space each setting takes up without the Pathfinder rulebooks, Golarion still has nearly twice as much published material as the Forgotten Realms for a similar period of time.So Crothian is correct here -- it is by no means a stretch to say that there is more Golarion info out there than was put out in a similar amount of time for 3.X FR.Now if we were comparing Golarion's release pace with the AD&D 2nd Edition Forgotten Realms release pace... <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /></blockquote>
