<p>It's interesting you say that you can't represent everything in Pathfinder when the developers have been steadily pushing forward year after year, doing just that. We have rules for how robots, lasers, and force fields work now. Just a year before that, performance combat, duels, firearms, vehicle combat, and freaking airships had rules released for them. They've had APs where whole new systems for how to manage travel, upkeep, and combat with caravans have been rolled out. Combat between whole armies on the battlefield had rules released for it just a couple years before that. Valeros and Co. can now fight Great Old Ones from the Lovecraft mythos, beings so powerful that nearby reality cries when they wake up! But please, tell me more about how Pathfinder isn't designed to represent new things. I'd like to hear it. </blockquote><p>Also in 1e, damage dice did not stop.

<p>-Government structure. How is the Empire governed? How is it set up? Who are the key players? What are their titles? How much autonomy do the individual provinces have? What about the central government in Oppara? Is there a set of departments/ministries/etc?</p>
<p>-Religion. I know that Aroden used to be really big in Taldor, but I know nothing of the religion of the Empire, other than that there's an illegal cult of Sarenrae.</p>
<p>-Culture. What do Taldans, rich and poor, enjoy doing? What do they like to eat? What does a Taldan aspire to when he grows up? Do Taldans follow the dogma of a particular religion? Do they define their world by what is told to them or through logic?</p>
<p>-The royalty. I know that Taldor has a Grand Prince who has only one daughter. Is he married? If so, what's his wife's name? Why has he not produced an heir? What would happen if Stavian III were to die? Who would the throne pass to?</p>
<p>-The nobility. Who are the prominent families? Which lands do they govern? What are Taldor's noble titles, and how do they rank? What are some of their heraldry?</p>
<p>-The merchant and peasant classes. How does Taldor acquire wealth? What are the surplus-producing crops? What about crafted goods?</p>
<p>I could go on and on. In order to run a campaign in the Empire of Taldor, I need more than what Taldor, Echoes of Glory tells me. Looking at the book, I count 18-20 pages of setting material and ten pages of rules items. I know how the OP feels, as I so wish those ten pages had useful setting material in them. All it took was a single sentence to spark the broad strokes of my campaign ("...the princess opposes its continuation and is currently building support among the Senate for her ursurpation of the throne upon her father's death.") but it will take more than a sentence to have a... </blockquote><p>Thank you for writting what i felt, yet could not say.
<p>I would also like to know about the economy of Taldor. What are its exports? Who trades?
<br />
If i set up a thieves guild, what are they likely to be stealing.</p>
<p>Also, as cannon material, it would help new players have a better understanding of what is going on.</p>
<p>I do not understand the reluctance of making more money by publishing such material. I would like it to make me a better player, as well as GM.</p>Mattastrophic wrote:The Crusader wrote:If you need a butcher's shop on the corner of Main St. and Stavian Ln. in Oppara...
