[QUOTE="prosfilaes, post: 7135158, member: 40166"] In the hardbacks, traits appear in APG pages 326-333. At no point in that section do they mention Golarion. They do spend about a page on traits for one of the author's campaigns, that was published as [i]Rise of the Runelords[/i]. They also spend a page on religious traits, that mention the gods but not anything else about the world. Looking at Bestiary 3, again they never mention Golarion. They do name the planes, and they do say that Ahriman is the demigod of the div and give some creation myths (that I'm not even sure are true for Golarion; I think they may fall into the realm of "canonical uncertainty and doubt.") The Bestiary is more generic than AD&D 1's Monster Manual. And? People aren't lusting for settings they've never had. A company that has only produced one setting and has made it clear that it can't afford to do another doesn't get the push to do another setting that another company that produced multiple settings between the early 1980s and early 2010s, nearly 40 years. Of course options provided by 3rd parties change what people need from Paizo or Hasbro. If you want to argue that Primeval Thule and Middle Earth provide reasonable well-supported alternatives in the 5E marketplace, then do so. Hasbro owns WotC. From the inside, you may be correct, but Paizo has forums and people who work for Paizo post on forums, whereas WotC is much more of a faceless entity. I fail to see why that matters to the consumer who wants Eberron D&D. [/QUOTE]
