    From the frozen wastes of the witch-queen to the scorching deserts of Osirion, explore the world of Pathfinder and the GameMastery Modules like never before. This 64-page full-color gazetteer contains information about all of the major kingdoms and cities of the Pathfinder Chronicles world, including Absalom, Cheliax, Varisia, and much more. A poster map of the world details never-before-revealed locations, and allows readers to put Pathfinder Adventure Paths and GameMastery Modules into a single exciting context. The guide also includes information on deities, races, classes, and monsters unique to the setting. The Pathfinder Chronicles Gazetteer is compatible with the world’s most popular roleplaying game, but adapts easily to other game systems.

    FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar was good, could be better

    This campaign guide could easily have filled a book three times this size. There is just no way that a setting as complex as Osirion can be covered in 32 pages. What is in these 32 pages will definitely make you want to adventure in the desert. Expanding this setting with the book "Sandstorm" will give your campaign legs.

    Awesome. The art for "Andoran Guy" leaves a bit to talk about, but not having enough money to buy the CS let me buy this book and I am happy I did. I can still buy the CS later, but I have a "read this first before making your character" handout that makes total sense. Short and sweet. I wanted more maps of each nation, or at least each region, but I can cope without 'em. I have to say though that there are editing problems that are consistent with the whole line of Pathfinder products. I don't want the job, and I can understand a few mistakes sneaking in, but overall I have been dissappointed(?) with editing. Maybe some web-enhancement/errata pages to help? So what. It's an observation, not codemnation. Well worth it for any player in Golarion. I especially liked the way the poster map was secured to the back cover, no more torn perfs, just a small (very minor) mark if you know where to look. Just work on the editing all around. Slow down, don't be afraid of taking an afternoon stroll around the building and forgetting for a moment about having to meet that deadline on Wednesday. Worth the purchase. 5 STARS. Thanks Paizo.

    I bought the Gazeteer before the Campaign Setting was released and am glad I did. I may not have bought it otherwise.

    The Gazeteer is a succinct and easy to use guide to the world of Golarion. This is an excellent resource for players to gain a feel of their new world without bogging them down in too much material.

    GMs will find this book as useful if not more so than the Campaign Setting. In a smaller, more easily accessible compact book, it makes looking up inspirational material easy and fast. For general questions about the setting I tend to reach for the Gazeteer first.

    I bought this as a prelude to the Campaign Setting because I was impatient and a subscriber to the Chronicles.
    I think a wiser purchase would be the Campaign Setting since that book includes the gazetteer "and" expands upon it.
    However, if someone can't afford the Campaign Setting, this book will do. With what it has, it's on par with other products here.

    FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Very Nice Intro

    As has been mentioned elsewhere, this book is a great introduction to the world of Golarion. It features a ton of adventure hooks and cool information about the various nations, despite its low page count. Definitely a product I'll recommend to anyone who wants to get an idea of what Golarion has to offer.

    This book rocked. It helped bring the Pathfinder setting alive in a way that was short, to the point, and yet brilliant. Kudos to the authors.

    FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar An excellent peak at things to come!

    After reading this little bundle of joy I have to say WOW, simply WOW! The history and lore of golarion presented in the book is top notch and a great choice for any whom wish to start their adventures in this new world of gaming! One could tell that the time was taken to make this a top notch item. Format and Artwork also recieve top marks!
    A must have for future Pathfinders!
    Well done Paizo!

    I like Pathfinder Chronicles: Gazetteer. Golarion is a world on the brink of disaster, with every nation looking for trouble with its neighbors, is in trouble, or both. And unlike fantasy worlds like Greyhawk or Forgotten Realms, major forces of good are few and far between. I like the sense of horror pervading throughout the area, with the Eye of Abendego -- a massive, supernatural storm -- off the coast; Asmodeus as a major deity of the Chelexians and a threat to everyone else; to such nations as Galt ("Eternal Revolution") whose populace beheads its leadership every few years.

    After multiple, thorough readings, my appreciation of this book just keeps growing. There is enough detail here to form a solid foundation, but not enough to constrain creativity. (Edit:I would almost recommend this over the full CS; if you're on a tight budget, but want to get in on Pathfinder Society play, this should be your first purchase).

    The map is very well done, and the book itself stands up to plenty of punishment. There are a few minor editing snafus, and no index, but overall this product is a great value.

    Buy it!

    FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar GREAT Intro to the Pathfinder World!

    I thought this was an awesome product. For $13 bucks you get a LOT of flavor of the world of Golarion and get an extensive history to boot!

    It also REALLY feels like an epic D&D world. The designers really put a lot of thought into the world to design it as realistic as possible while still being a D&D themepark. Great stuff!

    Will this gazetteer repeat the content in the Pathfinder adventure paths? I love all the Pathfinder stuff but not as much as to pay for reprinted material... Keep up the great work!
