1. city-based campaign in Absalom, maybe involving a siege or the Starstone

2. Nex, the Mana Wastes, or that high magic land in southern Garund

3. Planar-travelling campaign, to the city of Axis, Maelstrom and Nirvana

Looks like Jalabhar Xho, not Xaro

Your Highness

There's so many theories, I didn't know about that one. You mean it's connected to the Sea Peoples invasion?

If you want to summon the Flight of Dragons the number would be in tens of thousands

Karamoss the Machine Mage, tough he's missing

I'd try to find an old map of D.C. and use that

What will Torag do among the pirates, craft the shackles?

Akata, urdefhan, witchwyrd, denizen of Leng, dark slayer, Nex and Katapesh golems

Grand Lodge

Oh yeah Iblydos, forgot about them cause it's so far away. Maybe they had a war with Azlant, like in Critias. I'd like Troy more than Athens tough.

I felt that Humans of Golarion needed more pages. My players are not fans of dwarves and elves, either they are monsters and aliens or humans with long ears. They don't like the half-races, dhampirs excepted. There are historically inspired versions of Egyptians, Indians, Romans, Arabs and so on. That makes the GM's job of descriptions a lot easier, but having them is only half-satisfying, it feels there's a hole between. What of the others, the Greeks, Hittites, Franks, Turks, English and many more. I think with magic you can balance out the technological differences, the older a culture is, or make copper, bone or stone more malleable or acceptable to magic than iron.

I wonder what other interesting civilizations you would like to have in Golarion and where would they best fit on the map? Or what kind of feats, traits and unique spells would they have?

Westcrown's map looked ugly, wrong colors, one house represented a whole neighborhood, streets were crooked and thousands of feet wide. It had no grand structures, for example look at the ancient map of Rome. Or look at the satelite map of Venice of how should a city block look like from a distance where individual houses are specks, the secret is in the tiny details.

Grand Lodge

They look more North African than the Garundi. Ancient Numidia analogy? Too light-skinned for the empire of Mali, I guess. Jistka could be Carthage.

In Taldor, Rondelero sounds Spanish. Aldori seem Italian tough.

Grand Lodge

I like that the levels have returned, much more inspiring than just reading names.

Grand Lodge

Adventurer's Armory had a few

Coffee: Sargavan Red and Qadiran Kahve
Linnorm Mead
Oldlaw Whiskey: Molthune
Riding dogs: reputable breeders in Absalom, Almas and Katapesh
Osirion's wise-eyed cats
Hawks: finest suppliers in Cheliax and Taldor
Ravens (clever): Cheliax

And from the Jade Regent Player's Guide we know that copper is one of the most prevalent trade goods that come out the Lands of the Linnorm Kings.

Too much stuff

Spoiler:
It's not the level of Red Wedding shocking and Robbwind won't be resurrected like Jon. Both Kevan and Pycelle are replaceable by other Lannisters and maesters. Hints for the Red Wedding were not so obvious as Jon's skulls and daggers in the dark, I wanted him to get stabbed sooner than later. The story is more interesting when you don't know what's going to happen, the prophecies are not helping.

I wish the timeline synchronization happened around the page 300.

I don't get why would Osha go to Skagos.

Some twists are genuinely shocking (though a couple have some carefully-built-in get-out clauses), on the level of the Red Wedding or higher ...

A Dance with Dragons solves a lot of the problems experienced in the previous book in the series and brings renewed energy and focus to getting this story towards the endgame.

I'm interested which plots are that? And what problems it solves?

Galt would be interesting, keep your head AP

Besmara's is parrot

Brigh: ants?

A funny thing, in Serbia, the middle name is the name of the child's father. So no choosing there, so no release for the crazy...plus, naming a child something stupid or silly, is just mean. Get a dog or cat and name it something ridiculuos.

Hama Dogshead is a good name for a barbaric society, better than Euron Crow's Eye.

Even with regular names there are sayings, ''Marko radi sve naopako'', I've been told.

After 18 you can change it, remember there was a guy who changed his name to Manchester United.

A Dance with Dragons

Spoiler:
I've seen the list of new POV characters, includes Varamyr, Melisandre and Barristan. Expect more new mysteries than in AFFC. Tough I regret nothing about what happens in Oldtown and with Brienne/Pod.

Grand Lodge

Lamashtu could enter the material plane easily, the reaction of a few opposing gods would be similar to the story of when Rovagug invaded

Grand Lodge

I think the name ''githyanki'' is free (invented by GRRM)

Grand Lodge

Magus is a decent name cause it's similar to the legendary Maugris/Maugis who was a sort of arcane warrior.

Grand Lodge

Thanks, I'll buy either this or the Darksiders game, and don't plan to finish New Vegas, too much walking for me.

Grand Lodge

I heard this game had some technical issues, wonder anyone know if they fixed it with patches or special editions?

Grand Lodge

I'm not that familiar with Eberron, I think Q'barra and Lhaazar could work for the serpentfolk and the pirates. And there was a mention of the aventi in Eberron.

Then there's X'endrik., but there the giants were destroyed by the serpents, you could reverse the plot.

Grand Lodge

A lot of lore would be recycled, I'd like to see some of the parts in between already covered sites. I don't want what happened to Waterdeep, there were too many books about the place.

Grand Lodge

Uccastrog, the Isle of the Torturers (from Zothique), for a small Encarthan isle near Ustalav

Cingisle (was my homebrew isle where is a tomb of an exiled king, sort of like Napoleon)

Magnimar is my favourite, I'm content for now. I'd love to see a Darkmoon-Vale-like book in one of the areas south of the Storval.

Lets see them pay war reparations for WW2. Lets See the USA pay Japan for the two Nuclear Strikes on Major Population Centres. How do you put a price on Mass Murder?
