I found some "Baba Yaga", a witch queen or something... I think it maybe is a reference to Eastern Europe, the Balkans' Baba Yaga, the witch (Баба Яга)

Have the campaign setting undergo a new printing to remove errors contained in the first printing ?

Does anyone know if they are going to re-release this campaign setting to reflect the 'official' pathfinder rules that came out a few weeks ago? Is this setting using strictly 3.5 rules? I'd like to pick it up, but if an updated version is imminent, I can wait.

My girlfriend asked me what a "VorpalSpork" was. I told her. She thinks your nick is awesome.

Well done! :)

The named bosses all said that until this print run is dry, there won't be an update.

So buy now while supplies lasts...

We still have quite a few copies of this book in the warehouse, so there are no impending plans to update the campaign setting book in the near term. It does sell well, so I assume that eventually we will reprint it. However, it is almost entirely fluff which doesn't rely on any ruleset. There are some rules stuff in there however, but since the PFRPG is backwards compatible, I don't think that you would even have to worry about changing most of it to use it in your campaign. There are lots of feats which can work as is. There are a couple of prestige classes, but again, I think that they can be used as is.

I would think that when we reprint this book in a year or so, that there will be very few changes need to "pathfinderize" the book.

I bought the Pathfinder handbook PDF, Im overseas so I do most everything on my computer. At 9.95 it was a great bargain.

I just cannot, in any way shape or form understand why I need to spend 35 US For a PDF file...it seems way excessive.

10 to 15 I could pull but that 35 price tag.

I was going to start a campaign in this world with some fellow soldiers and friends, but at this price Ill be just making my own.

I just picked this up. I really like it. But is there a rules update or something to put some of this stuff to Pathfinder instead of 3.5? The skill points for fighters if they take that feature is too many. Any offical ruling on this?

Simply apply the normal conversion rules. The fighter option becomes "Get 4 skill points per level". Simples.

I totally forgot about the conversion guide. D'oh.

Did this come with a fold-out map?

(If so, I lost mine!)

Sean K Reynolds (Developer), Wed, Nov 11, 2009, 01:14 PM

The campaign setting includes a poster map, yes.

If I purchase the PDF now, will I be able to download a revised version in the future once the book has been "pathfinderized"? Will there be an additional cost?
