It’s so inclusive I have to wonder if anything was missed, and to date I’ve yet to find something. The Inner Sea consists of a mass of land, and this book details not ten, not twenty, not thirty, but forty-three nations inside its boundaries. I mean when you look at the list of contributors, it’s like a veritable list world-building mafia with Ed Greenwood, Sean K Reynolds, and Jeff Grubb to name a few.Īnyway, let’s get down to it. It’s like someone at Paizo got everyone in the company together and dared them to throw Earth’s history into a bucket before dumping the best concepts of novel fantasy on top of it, and I mean this in a good way. Now I’m not pulling your leg here, but this book is the most complete fantasy setting I’ve ever seen to date.
Of course if you’re going to have that many human races, you’ll need places where they are from, and that’s truly what The Inner Sea supplement is about. I was intrigued by this kind of detail, and as I flipped through the different races I couldn’t help by smile at those chosen and the great adventures that could be set in a country populated by these individuals. The book begins with a nice expansion of the races of The Inner Sea, and like Iron Kingdoms did some years back for their setting, Paizo defines twelve different human races before delivering a nice history on the usual suspects like elves, dwarves, and the like. Pathfinder is already an outstanding supplemental system, with a massive amount of core books, adventure paths, and gazetteers, but if you’re looking for a new age setting or simply want to steal some quality ideas for your own world, this book is an incredible resource.Īs I delved into the pages it was like opening a Pandora’s Box of fantasy grandeur. I mean the name alone is worth the price! I’m not sure when the first time I saw this book, but I know when I did I WANTED IT! I still have great nostalgia for that world, and the classic adventure modules set in it, but sometimes you just need to upgrade, you know? I mean, Greyhawk is over thirty years old, and has gone through a number of facelifts, but still it’s always nice to try on something new.Īnd speaking of new! How about Paizo’s Pathfinder Campaign Setting The Inner Sea World Guide. My very first campaign setting, as probably the bulk of old time gamers would also claim, was The World of Greyhawk.
