Paizo announced the complete author list today for the upcoming Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting hardcover. This massive 256-page hardcover book offers an in-depth exploration of Golarion, the exciting world of the Pathfinder Modules and Pathfinder Adventure Paths, for the first time. It includes detailed sections on more than 40 nations and provides a full picture of the Pathfinder Chronicles campaign setting. Also included are new rules, new magic and spells, detailed descriptions of more than 20 gods, and a gorgeous poster map detailing the focus of the campaign setting: the continents of Garund and Avistan.

"Editor Mike McArtor assembled one of the most impressive author lists I've ever seen in my time as a game publisher, author, and player," said Paizo's Publisher, Erik Mona. "From the dawn of tabletop gaming to the rising stars of today, this list has it covered. It's a privilege to see such an honor role take on the development of a world I co-created."
