I own PDFs of the Pathfinder 1e and 2e versions of Golarion, but I read the 1e hardcover years ago and that is the version I know best and use as my go to reference for the big picture world aspects.Of those four reference books I have mostly been going through the Numeria one having read it cover to cover since I decided to run the adventure path which is set in there specifically. The Golarion book has a few pages on Numeria which is good for an overview. The Ptolus one I looked up their technology stuff and the specifically lost technology secret societies and related elements as those are big themes of Numeria and the adventures.There is also the short section in the first module on the town setting of the first adventure.Separately based on player interest I pulled out and delved into stuff from the <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/16821/FOR1-Draconomicon-2e?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">2e Draconomicon</a>, the <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/16895/DMGR4-Monster-Mythology-2e?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">2e Monster Mythology</a>, and the <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/25831/Draconomicon-The-Book-of-Dragons-35?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">3e Draconomicon</a> for elements of a draconic deity to build a cult around as a religious institution that a player wanted to be a part of and I integrated into the setting. Also I pulled out GURPS Werewolf the Apocalypse, <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/112871/Werewolf-The-Apocalypse-20th-Anniversary-Edition?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">Werewolf the Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Edition</a>, and <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/121087/W20-Changing-Breeds?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">W20 Changing Breeds</a> for adding Werewolf and Werebear elements and worldview aspects into the game (works pretty well in a barbarian land) to go with two PC concepts. Other aspects like Shadowrun decking, Mage the Ascension Technocracy, Warhammer 40K concepts, Paranoia, and Star Trek elements I have RPG material for, but did not end up pulling out any so far as I considered and used some of them thematically. That might change as the campaign continues.So what setting type materials have you pulled out to reference in your current campaign?</blockquote>
