(2 stars)shafti76https://paizo.com/products/btpy8ief?Pathfinder-Campaign-Setting-The-Inner-Sea-World-Guide2012-03-23T15:38:28Z<p><b>Pathfinder Campaign Setting: The Inner Sea World Guide (PFRPG)</b></p><p>First I would like to say something positive, the Inner Sea guide is great to look at. It has great pictures and maps etc. But, the one thing it lacks is INFORMATION, if I wanted to fill in the blanks I would have made up my own world. Its great that the book has so many different nations, but for someone like me who doesn't have time to fill in the gaps, its almost a big pretty, glossy paperweight.</p>
<p>Perhaps Paizo could have created less nations and spent more time fleshing out the rest. I choose to run my game in the nation of Nirmathas. So while looking over the map of Nirmathas I see a place in the mountains called the Lost Mines, hmmmm maybe a good place for some underground exploring. I check out the write up of Nirmathas and curious, it doesn't even mention the Lost Mines??????? I dig a little further and find that of the 5 or 6 towns they show on the map, there is is only a tiny bit of information on 2 or 3 of them.</p>
<p>In my opinion, this isn't a campaign setting, it's the outline for a campaign setting. The title should be "The fill in the blanks Guide to the Inner Sea" Nice looking book, but not much use to me.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Campaign Setting: The Inner Sea World Guide (PFRPG)</b></p><p>First I would like to say something positive, the Inner Sea guide is great to look at.
