Pathfinder Chronicles: Guide to Korvosa (OGL)

Pathfinder Chronicles: Guide to Korvosa (OGL)
Paizo Publishing, LLC


Print Edition:		$17.99
PDF:		$12.99

The city-state of Korvosa, largest in all Varisia, has prospered over the last century since its abandonment by its founding nation of Cheliax. Its port brims with black-and-red-flagged ships—the colors of both Korvosa and Cheliax—endlessly trading fineries from the south for Varisian curiosities and her land’s natural bounty. As such, Korvosa rightfully claims to be the most cultured and civilized city in the region, yet visitors might also grant the city-state the titles of most decadent, exploitative, and socially stratified.

This 64-page book serves as an exhaustive guide to the city, including details on all major points of interest, profiles on the city’s movers and shakers, and countless adventure hooks for enterprising GMs to expand upon. It also includes a full-color poster map of Korvosa. While designed for use with the Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path, this information-packed supplement is useable in any fantasy RPG campaign.

Written by Mike McArtor

ISBN–13: 978-1-60125-078-0

Note: The map in this book should have been inserted using contact cement, but it was inadvertently bound in instead. Please do not attempt to tear it out; instead, carefully cut it out.

How to Remove Your Korvosa Poster Map

You'll need the book, a piece of thick paper or thin plastic (we used a file folder) that a blade won't easily cut through, a ruler, and a flat cutting device such as a razor blade or a sculpting tool. (Please don't cut yourself!)

You can see that when the poster was bound into the book, an extra 1/4" of poster was printed for the binding. This 1/4" contains only water areas—cutting the poster out doesn't cut anything off the map.

We placed our file folder snug into the binding between the poster and the interior pages of the book. Make sure whatever you use cannot be easily cut through or you will damage the interior pages.

(Click on this picture to enlarge.) Place your ruler between the two folds of the poster so that the layers from bottom to top go:

Interior pages
File folder
Bottom of poster
Ruler
Top of Poster

Make sure you line the ruler up as straight as possible with the top edge of the poster so that you get a perfectly rectangular poster after the cut.

Carefully fold back the top layer of the map, making sure to keep the ruler straight and in the same spot you just lined it up at. Then, cut slowly and carefully down the edge of the ruler. Do not cut yourself. Do not press hard enough to cut through the file folder or whatever you've chosen to cut on. You only want to cut through two thin layers of poster, not through the file folder.

And there you go! You should have a 1/8" slice of paper left bound into the book, there should be no damage to the interior pages (or binding!), and the result is no more leftover paper than you'd find in a book with a bound-in, perforated, poster map.

The result is a beautiful map of Korvosa!

Love the district format!

We picked this up at our FLGS and I'm especially impressed with how the districts are laid out. Specifically, having the detail of the district map next to the outline of the full city map with the district area highlighted is GREAT! I can't tell you how many times I've wasted time I havn't had to in trying to figure out where a detail areas was on a big city map. Your layout is simple, quick, and much appreciated!

I Love This Book!

This is the way city supplements should be. Short enough to be interesting, but long enough to cover the subject.

What I like most? Assuming a PDF of this product is available, all of the GM information is IN THE BACK! You just print the first 48 pages and give it to the players along with the Players Guide for a more immersive roleplaying experience.

This is a great product, and I hope all the others are organized like this.

Did this ship to people that placed pre-orders way back in late fall? Did they also get the discount mentioned earlier?

I noticed that this (and the map folio) no longer appears on my account information, and that I did not receive notice of its shipping.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

We are shipping preorders now, but the Pathfinder Advantage doesn't begin until the 10th.

It's still in your order history—order 770814. You elected to ship those items together, so it's waiting for Classic Monsters and the Gazetteer.

Hi, Just got the pdf for Pathfinder 7 but not for guide to korvosas. Would you be able to check that they're shipping together. Thanks.

King,

I looked at your subscriptions and all of your future shipments will be combined, but this one will be separate. It looks like yours is a very peculiar case (and therefore not illuminating for others), so I will send you an email with a fuller explanation and solution.

thanks,
cos
