Thinking of picking up the module of 6 Swords of Sin (hope I got that correct) mostly for the setting. How much fluff does the module include? Worth a purchase just for the setting or am I better going it alone?

It's set in the city of Kaer Maga, a single city in Varisia. Assuming you knew that, this is not a sourcebook on the city. It's got some good tidbits, a very basic overview of the city and a really rough map. It's a great adventure, by the way, but it's not a city sourcebook for Kaer Maga!

Need: Sourcebook for Kaer Maga.

Does such a source book exist?

I seem to recall a Pathfinder with a good deal of info.

The Pathfinder's Journal article 'Hand of the Handless' in Pathfinder #3, (Hook Mountain Massacre) featured Kaer Maga as the location which the explorer was on the streets of on that occasion. It had several side-bars about the city.

But you get more back ground material in the module... right?

There are many hooks in the module, but I think the information specifically on Kaer Maga is 2 or 3 pages at best. If you get this, expect to do a little legwork of your own to flesh out the city.

That said, Kaer Maga is my second favourite fantasy city after Ptolus even with the sparse amount of knowledge given out.

Also, the adventure is super cool.

Oh, yes! Please!!!

Heh! Duly noted. :) Thanks, folks - if there's ever an opportunity to publish a Kaer Maga book, you can bet I'd be up for writing it.

At the moment, all the information on Kaer Maga that's been published is in Volume 3 of Pathfinder (Hook Mountain Massacre) and Seven Swords of Sin... I'd say that they both have roughly the same amount of info, though I like the way it's presented a bit more in Pathfinder. I tried not to repeat information more than absolutely necessary, so hopefully you'd find it worthwhile to pick up both... D2 has more of a general overview, whereas Pathfinder talks in more depth about the districts and organizations, and features the first real appearance of folks like the troll augurs and the wormfolk.

Very much needed.

Yes please!! I'll preorder it without thinking!

Same here - the thinking was all done while reading PF3 and 7SoS...

There have been some discussions about doing a Guide to Kaer Maga, but nothing is on the schedule. If you want it, make your desires known here! :)

I have my own sick nutso freaked out plans for Kaer Maga, should they ever come to fruition; they're too raw and basting on the backburner as of yet. Too much still exists in potentia.
But, yeah; I'd grok to a Kaer Maga book.

I find it an intriguing city, and I've barely read the journal and haven't read the adventure yet. Depending on how my group is working at the time, I've been thinking about an excursion there between PF3 and PF4

I would purchase a Sourcebook for Kaer Maga as well.

Please make a Kear Maga guide!!!

There's also a little bit about Kaer Maga in the Eando Kline story (forget which issue).

But, yeah, it's a city ripe for further exploration!

Consider this my vote!

Another vote for a "Guide to Kaer Maga"...

Preordered! Wait... aren't we there yet...

I don't know whether a full 64 page guide is necessary for Kaer Maga, but if it were included in a Guide to Varisia, or even as one of the 32 page Pathfinder Companions, I could certainly go for that. Granted, if it were a 64-pager, I wouldn't not go for it, but you know what I mean.

I'd be down for a Kaer Maga sourcebook

I'd tip my hat to new modules in the area, as well.

Or at the very least a larger Guide to Varisia which could be a much greater expansion of the PF3 article, much like the Campaign Setting is a larger expansion of the Gazetteer.

I am in for a Guide to Kaer Maga!

Yes. Where are the bloatmages you guys promised?

Yeah, a Guide to Kaer Maga would be great.

City books, along with adventures, are the easy books to strip out all the Golarion stuff and adapt it to my campaign.

Yes. Where are the bloatmages you guys promised?

I suspect we'll be seeing them in Curse of the Crimson Throne, as

And what about that Tallow Boys PrC?

And what about that Tallow Boys PrC?

Even if/when we do a Kaer Maga book (and believe me, hearing what you guys want on these boards goes a long way toward determining what goes on the schedule and how quickly), I'm not sure they'll let me put that one in.

But maybe. :)

Count me in for a Kaer Maga guide. It may work best as a pathfinder companion rather than a chronicle product. Still regardless I'd be interested.
