I absolutely love Pathfinder. Actually, I almost eat, drink, dream, and breathe Pathfinder, when it comes to RPGs. So when the announcement of a Pathfinder Online RPG hit, I almost fainted, made 50 Facebook posts, phone calls and other such silly conversations filled with heavy breathing and dreams of great things to come.

ESPECIALLY when I heard about the focus being more along the lines of the Kingmaker Adventure Path, easily my favorite so far. I get to build a KINGDOM?!?! *faint*

VERY excited. But now that the initial excitement is passed, replaced instead with a tickling in the tummy that won't go away that I think is called antici....pation, I'm hoping for a bit more. More than most of the MMORPGs tend to offer. More than some box-style first person games tend to offer. We're talking about customization.

Will there be the ability to actually customize the STYLE of your kingdoms, or will everyone's little corner of Golarion look the same as everyone else's? Granted, I'm not asking for the kind of customization involved in, say, Second Life (though admittedly, I'm freaky enough to spend 10 hours designing a stairwell "just so"), but perhaps a little more option in the KINDS of things available...perhaps a difference in Varisian Cottage versus Taldane Reformation? I'm thinking Chelaxian High Gothic, with a hint of Qadiran Nomad...perhaps with a bit of Old Osirion?

I know this might sound like a silly or oft-repeated question, but in the essence of true enjoyment for a long term, I think that specialization is one of the very fundamental building-blocks.

Here's a map I just finished for those using Campaign Cartographer 3. I used artistic license with the creation, including creating a few villages and settlements using the same naming concepts of the original areas as well as logic to dictate where communities would be even in sparsely populated countries.

Hey there folks! First off, let me say how wonderful I've found this campaign path to be as a GM. I love it, my players love it!

Second, after relentless searching online for maps that will work with Campaign Cartographer, which I use in combination with Hero Lab and D20 Pro, I found nothing...well, a few hits, but nothing substantial.

So here it is! I made one over the course of the last couple of days. Mine goes as far West as Chesed in Numeria and Gralton in the River Kingdoms, as far EAST as just past the Icerime Peaks, North to Port Ice and South just past Mivon.

My players have been getting a little expansive, and weren't wanting to stay inside the box, so I've allowed them a little leeway. Plus, with the *SPOILER* Civil War in Brevoy between New Rostland and King Noleski of Brevoy, they've been wanting to keep track of where the troops they've sent are at and what kind of progress the revolt they support is making.

I spent a while on it, and had to make a few artistic decisions with several things, including the sparsity of settlements. Things in certain areas just didn't quite fit, but I didn't want the PCs' kingdom to rival Brevoy's quite yet, so I added a few settlements here and there, trying to stay both logical in their placement, as well as keeping the naming scheme that seemed prevalent in each area.

The only major addition in the south was the community of Free Haven, which sits on the convergence of three roads, one to Gralton, one to Mivon and one to Pitax. It has so far stayed out of the squabbles and political intrigues of said city-states, and is holding its own from sheer willpower and economic fortitude.

So without further ado, here it is: http://ottergoose.org/Pathfinder.html

Have fun! Any feedback is welcome!
