[QUOTE="Sylrae, post: 5141533, member: 48520"] To the OP: I Buy Pathfinder More for the Game than the Setting, but I do make setting purchases. Golarion is not my favorite Setting, that would be 2e/3e Forgotten Realms, but I'm running it at the moment because I wanted to try something different. This week the players will be pulled into the mists to deal with a 1-shot Ravenloft Adventure from 2nd Edition (which I'm converting up).
