There are currently at least 800 years that have notable events attributed to them: see the Pathfinder wiki Years category for all of the ones we have documented.
I know I'm a little late to the party, but you also can look at Pathfinderwiki Start by searching for a page you want to build off of, and click through the Blue links to find other realted pages.... watch the "references" section to see what books the information is taken from, if you see one book being referenced over and over again, put that on your short list.
There are some good resources for you out there:
It may also be worthwhile perusing the categories on Pathfinderwiki corresponding to each ethnicity, as the list of "inhabitants" for each gives a fair sample of names in most cases. There is a entire category for pages about families found Here Some of these families may be big names, as you suggest. Others are just A merchent and his wife/children in town in the back of a module. They were mentioned, but didn't have enough information for their own pages, so got grouped into a family page.
While only a little bit of what you are asking here, I feel this is a good spot to highlight our Canon Conflicts category any time we find conflicting information on a subject the conflict icon (the little assci cross) is added to the page, this category is added, and a link to a meta [pagename]/conflicts page is set up describing both points of the conflict and why one was chosen over the other in the wiki article.
As the automaton notes, we try to note prices when the sources provide them on the 'list of works' page he linked. That is also a good page to print to have book titles and authors on hand when needed. There are a couple more from the new novel Bloodbound (somewhere in chapters 10-13, I'm listening to the audio version so not sure exactly where) that we need to add once I get the book from my subscription.
Also, anyone who loves Kitsune who might have a bit of time free is also more than welcome to create a profile on pathfinderwiki and update the Kitsune page
Hi Ridge, while there isn't a map I'm aware of, according to the wiki article on Carpenden there are 3 other books with at least some information on it. Feel free to add any information missing from Birthplace of Freedom
The wiki is working on that, kind of, we are working on getting indexes of every Golarion term used in each book linked to its product page. This will allow you to click on the "What links here" tab and see what mentions the page you are on. It is a monumental task that we have really just begun. Here is the first complete index which is the bottom of the reign of stars page
you can also look around the Sandpoint wiki page and click any blue links to get more information. Also feel free to make and account and help updating any out of date pages you find in your research!
Also check out the wiki section on wines
The Pathfinder Wiki is faaaar superior to The Inner Sea Guide which has one paragraph of info on a location for every ten (or 12) locations. The Wiki will have (at least) one paragraph on 9 out of every 10 locations. thanks for the glowing review !
Looks Like Jatembe's wiki page has some data from Humans of Golarion, p. 5. as well
Something else to think about - you can browse The Wiki and find some subjects that you like, then look at the bottom of the page to see which books reference that subject, and make a list from there
Corrected the link for you, you provided the outdated version on the wiki that hasn't been actively updated in over 3 years. http://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Janderhoff is the correct one
if you have a specific topic in mind, the wiki is a good idea too
Can we get one of these art blogs for every product?
We are working on getting the clockworks to add a template to each page they change, explaining the need with the above that Zaister points out, allowing the change to be more transparent.
Try The Wiki Fixed the link for you, the active version of the Ennie award winning wiki hasn't been on wikia for over a year Also if you are able to listen to podcasts at work, the "Chronicles pathfinder podcast" posted up a bunch of the panels from gencon as 2 podcasts, 4 hours each... the first one has some of the "GMing 101" session, that can help you with ideas on how to get through some troubled situations
Note, most of those pronunciations are in the ennie award winning Pathfinder wiki
Evil Lincoln, the link you posted is the old wiki, the main contributors have moved to www.pathfinderwiki.com over a year ago
There's also a good amount on the wiki page
Since a number of people have mentioned the wiki, but not linked to it, I'll take this opportunity to do that This is the 'Religion' portal and This is the main page of the wiki
Check out PathfinderWiki for a great (and free) intro to the world setting. After that, I would recommend the Inner Sea World Guide and the Inner Sea Primer. +1 and thanks for the plug
yup that's right.... we're pimping out the admins
Div I fixed your link. For this particular article the only difference is a picture, but many of the most active members moved to the ad free www.pathfinderwiki.com address. It has almost 1,000 more articles and hundreds more that have been updated than the wikia one.
you could also use the wiki link to Hyrantam article with information from original campaign setting the get that info quickly in a game. And we're more than happy to accept more contributors into our ranks! We're about to start an initiative to get all of the information from the Inner Sea Guide in as quickly as possible.
Nice work Jeff. Please feel free to use the Wiki article on the Empire. Also Feel free to update this page with the above information
Bull is Neutral good... only a shop owner though. Calisro Benarry seems to be true neutral,and a little closer to what you want.. Imrijka, the iconic inquisitor is listed as NG on the wiki Gorvi the trash collector in Sandpoint is also CN Those are the only examples I can find offhand on the wiki
TheChozyn I'll try to get a wiki article up with all of the information we know about whatever location is picked early next week (I'm away this weekend) unless someone beats me to it.....
Perfect, i didnt even realize that existed :P THe wiki also has A category listing pathfinder members that have articles and a second one for venture-captains and even a third one Combining the two

Thanks for the plug Sara Marie the sourcebooks there should all be either or This link has a few other ways to sort the sourcebook lists
I apparently have a lot more reading to do on this AP,I am just getting into Golarion as a setting and Pathfinder in general (although a long 3.5 player). thank you for all the information. Also, to get you started, Pathfinder wiki can help, Here is the Brevoy article, the nation Niel suggests starting in above,Here is the river Kingdoms, where the adventure path takes place.
Hello, perhaps its user error, but could you implement a feature that would sort your truly incredible amount of modules by level? My group converted a high level game over to Pathfinder and we are looking for specific levels of content. Am I missing a sort function for modules? Thank you for any help.
and here's a Link to the Desna page of the wiki
I just finished running Crypt of the Everflame for my group (great module, btw). The next module, Masks of the Living God, will contain information on the city of Tamran. Unfortunately, I can't wait until December and I want to send them to Tamran now. Is there any more information out there on Tamran other than the single paragraph in the Chronicles book? The Wiki has the information from the campaign setting....
NaNoWriMo , For those that don't know, is National Novel Writing month. Where in month of November people try to write 50,000 words (the equivalent of a 175 page novel). It has a page to keep track, and weekly 'pep talk' emails. The Pathfinder Wiki is a wiki on the world of Golarion, written like an in-world encyclopedia (so no crunch, all fluff) Which is currently working on getting pages written for every single noun in the campaign setting. As my NaNoWriMo writing, I am going to keep a copy of my new articles and sections from the wiki in a separate file after finishing them on the wiki, and submit them for my Nano word count. I challenge everyone to join my quest and sign up. Lets get 50,000 words a piece into the wiki in November! The past 2 years I have tried to write a novel, and didn't have the time, now that I have time already invested into the wiki, I hope to actually get 50,000 words written out. Let's see if anyone can get to 50,000 words before me in Nov. Even if you don't know how to do the wiki-links, we have a good community over there that can help you. Feel free to browse the Tutorial and the Help help section. Before November first to get a feel for wiki editing. Even if you put just the plain text in the pages, someone else can come behind you and clean up links (but please put reference book and page numbers to make it easier for these people to clean articles up) Who will race with me?
For adventures the wiki can help you Adventures by location... For none-adventure references, you can also search the Wiki for a location and look at the references, not all of the articles are finished, (of the ones you list, Druma is the most complete, adding the guide to darkmoon vale to your list of sources) When I get home tonight (which won't be until about 11pm EST) I'll run the others through a PDF search and see which other PDFs they are mentioned in. Most of the location you list havn't really had any adventures or chronicles books set in them yet, so all of the printed information might be in the Campaign Setting and Gazeteer.
stuff about a placeThanks! Also The Wiki page on the town is a decent size. It's not fully finished yet (see the red links to articles not done yet) but it is a free resource, and is getting completed more and more every day!
The Wiki has all of the information on shiver in an easy to read format.
correction - we now have 3 administrators

Formation and Organization of the Colony The colony of Talmandor’s Bounty is first and foremost a financial venture. The desire to spread freedom and democracy across Golarion is definitely part of the settlement’s mandate; nevertheless, the resources necessary to settle an island far from the mainland
Talmandor’s Bounty has two primary sponsors: the Andoren government, and a newly formed finance company named the Bountiful Venture Company. The Bountiful Venture Company is
Managing the colony through a company in this way protects the assets of both houses’ banks should the endeavor prove unprofitable and the Bountiful Venture Company go bankrupt. If the company were to go bankrupt, the colony’s business assets revert to the Republic of Andoran, subject to the People’s Council. The individual colonists each have their own motivations for joining the colony, but certain incentives and potential rewards appeal to just about anyone. If the Bountiful Venture Company successfully exports goods from Ancorato, each settler in the first
This occurs only after the initial costs of the settlement are recouped, which may take years. Additionally, these early settlers receive a land grant once the colony becomes self-sufficient.

Jeremy Clements, Jesse Heinig & Timeskeeper to check in here thanks.
We have lost a Player to Real life sadly and are looking for a replacement. Preferably a martial type to go with a Magus, Sorcerer/Rogue, Alchemist & Cleric.

But you still use the original Players Handbook for traits. 20pt buy.
From memory it's a heavily urban campaign, but with some wilderness sections as well. So don't over specialize. Any questions, you know who to ask.
This is the opening. Please give a brief description of yourself and what you are doing when you receive the invitation from Sheila Heidmarch.
Dot here when you're happy with your build.
This is the place to talk over your new characters among yourselves. 20pt buy.
I have one or two other players from my other games that I'm considering, they may be joining the discussion. Anything I've forgotten?
The party is on book 4 at the moment and sadly we have lost two players thanks to the real world hammering them. We are looking for two new players, one needs to be the groups martial type. Level 11, and gold is what you get at that level. Hp's are roll, take the average if your roll sucks. The other would preferably be a divine caster of some sort. Currently we Have an Oracle of metal.
20 point buy.
Here is the Play thread. Iron gods 
We're a party of 5 players, just starting book two of the AP. It's a good group and the game has been very enjoyable for us. Sadly the GM has had to withdraw due to real life hitting him and we are hoping to keep the game going by finding a new GM. All the players are keen to continue so if you're interested please let us know.
My second table has lost their Cleric over the break and needs someone who can cover the healer role for the party. Currently we have in the party:
Starting level is 5th. The Crunch:
Looking for a quick recruitment, so closing by 17/1/19.
My group has just begun book 2 of Kingmaker and have lost our trap spotter. So We're looking for a replacement character, someone who can handle the trap side of things. 20 point buy.
The party currently has. Human Fighter (Aldori sworldlord)
The campaign thread is here. Footsteps The Bard and the Mesmerist are married and co-rulers. You don't need to create a dedicated Rogue, someone who can handle traps and do other things is fine, the party is dealing with politics and intrigue as well. I'll leave this up until the 27/7/18.
The idle chatter thread.
This is the thread to transfer the players from the Red sky at morning campaign. Please do not post unless asked.
The party has just finished book 1 and is currently engaged in getting their kingdom details sorted to their liking. The party currently is:
The Oracle of Nature has ghosted on us and so we are looking for another player to round out the group. You can present any character you think could bring something to the party. Character details:
20 point buy. All Paizo classes and races are accepted. Though if it's really exotic or out of place you are going to have to sell it to me. No 3PP. No VMC. No Evil alignments. I am adding new parts so previous experience isn't a problem. Maximum HP's for your class at 1st. Use the average after that. You start with the gold for a 4th level character. Background skills are being used. 1 or 2 paragraphs telling me about your character 2 traits, as it's starting book 2 you don't have to take a campaign trait if you don't wish to. No drawbacks! Any questions or clarifications just ask me. Recruitment will close on the 8th. Here is the campaign thread for your browsing. The shadows behind throne
For those conversations that don't take place in game. Begging, pleading and bribery welcomed.
Dotting to get things started. Have fun and try not to die!
Carried over from the S&S recruitment. 25pt buy. Start at 2nd level.
Any other questions let me know. As this is closed to only those on the S&S thread I think you can talk among yourselves over who wants to be what class? We'll take as long as everyone needs to get ready, when thats done away we go. Previous experience with CC is no problem, I do change things to suit my style of gaming.
We've just started book 4 of the Skull & Shackles AP and our Magus has dropped out. So I'm looking for someone to cover the Arcane spellcasting side of things for the party. Currently we have a Barbarian/Rogue, Skald, Druid and Alchemist/witch making up the party. A hybrid and a cross class, so Arcane isn't covered to a great degree. Crunch:
25 point buy. 10th level. Max hp for first, average after that, or roll for it in this thread, taking what you get. (Rerolling 1's though) Standard wealth for 10th level. A very chaotic campaign. No Third party stuff. Two traits, one from S&S. Background skills are in use. No VMC. At least one post a day, sometimes more depending on how fast we're moving.
Due to real life our Gunslinger has had to withdraw from our game. The party has expressed their desire to have someone to cover the ranged combatant role. Original Character rules:
20 point buy. No 3PP please. 2 traits, one from the Iron gods players guide. No Drawbacks. Good or neutral alignment preferred. Background skills are being used. Feat tax is not. I run a fast game, so 1 or 2 posts a day minimum is needed. If you are unable to post for a time let me know and we can arrange for your absence. Iron gods has a nice range of challenges, including the monsters, so don't over specialize on Robot killing. It will bite you in the ass. :) We are on to book 2: The lords of rust. The party is now 5th level, so make your character that thanks. Starting wealth is 10500gp. A lot of the party have now taken the Technologist feat, and Firearms proficiency, so if you wish to try another ranged type feel free, but be aware the Gunslinger was doing well in the game.
This is where you check in and get to know each other before setting off on your adventure. One I hope to see through to completion.
Restov. 24th of Calistril. Though the long hard Brevoy winter has left finally the midday air still holds a chill edge, even in the bright spring sunlight. You step from the town hall, blinking at the midday sun. You look at your fellow party members, None of you known to each. Thrown together by chance and necessity more than by fortune. You watched as several other groups were granted charters to explore regions different from that area you have been given. Some looked like veteran adventurers, others were more mercenary in appearance. It still gave you the knowledge that a group would be needed to get that final charter, and so you and the others banded together in a desperate scramble and presented yourselves as one such party. They must have seen something in the group for you have achieved your first goal. A new charter held in your hands. Around you Restov bustles with life. With the end of winter the trade ships and caravans have arrived. The market is crowded with those wishing to end winters hardships and enjoy a taste of plenty again. The streets are filled with people and a ceaseless barrage of sounds. Your destination lies south. a small trading post manned by Oleg Leveton and his wife Svetlana. Perhaps now would be a good time to discuss the parties equipment and travelling needs, and also to learn more of the people you will be entrusting your life to in the coming days?
Welcome to what I hope is going to be a long and eventually complete Kingmaker campaign. Introduce yourselves and lets get started.
Restov. 24th of Calistril. Though the long hard Brevoy winter has left finally the midday air still holds a chill edge, even in the bright spring sunlight. You step from the town hall, official charter clutched in your hand and look around the bustling square. You look at your fellow party members, some you know well, some only met in the last few days. You have the feeling there is more to this than stated on your charter? You watched as several other groups were also granted charters to explore regions different from that area you have been given. Some looked like veteran adventurers, others were more mercenary in appearance. Around you Restov bustles with life. With the end of winter the trade ships and caravans have arrived. The market is crowded with those wishing to end winters hardships and enjoy a taste of plenty again.
I'm running two PBP games currently, my Skull & shackles game has started the 3rd book, with two of the original players even! My Iron Gods game is just closing in one the end of the first book. I've run Kingmaker for my live group and enjoyed it a lot, so I've decided to run it again on PBP, inspired by the many great additions people have posted for it here. I like a fast game, with a post a day minimum, though weekends are a bit slower naturally. I prefer characters with a personality that shows through in their role playing. Rather than those where the weirdest combo of Race/Class/Archetype is considered an interesting character. The crunchie bits.:
Minimum 4 characters. Maximum 6. 20 point buy. All Paizo classes and races are accepted. Though if it's really exotic or out of place you are going to have to sell it to me. No 3PP. No Evil alignments. I am adding new parts so previous experience isn't a problem. Maximum HP's and gold for your class. 1 or 2 paragraphs telling me about your character 2 traits, one campaign, one of your choice. No drawbacks! Any questions or clarifications just ask. It will close on 17/09/17. (Sep 17th) 
I'm looking for a small adventure to run, preferably lvl 4 and up. I'd like it to be mostly urban. Something that would suit the skillful classes hopefully. I enjoy this sort of game, and have been part of two, one where the GM stated he wanted to try a murder mystery style game. The other where we were all part of a fantasy CSI team. Both sadly died before really getting started so I've decided I'd try and run one myself as a Pbp. I've already looked at The house on Hook street and decided I wouldn't use it.
Sadly our Cleric of Besmara seems to have fallen prey to real life and hasn't posted for a week. Luckily it has happened in the pause between books, so a new crew member is easy to fit into the party. We are looking for someone to fill the role of the party healer in fact. Details:
7th level. 25pts. Max Hp's at 1st level, take the average + 1 after that, or roll online, rerolling 1's. Normal gold for a 7th level character. No one is evil so avoid that if possible. All races considered, but do read the S&S players guide to see what fits. Two Traits, one from the players guide. Current party is a Human Skald, Human Magus, Half-orc Barbarian/rogue, and a Traveller Gnome Alchemist/Witch. You don't have to be purely the healer as long as you can cover it well. Game thread Here Any questions or problems let me know.
Gameplay thread. Watch this space.
This is the discussion thread. Please check in and introduce yourselves to each other. Roga is new in Torch.
So most of you will know each other, at least slightly or by sight.
The town of Torch has long enjoyed a singular claim to prosperity-a violet flame that burns atop Black Hill in the heart of the town. This flame burns incredibly hot, and while it's usually the size of a bonfire, several times a year the fires spew up into the heavens in a brilliant beam of purple violence. These eruptions are presaged by about an hour of soft rumbling, giving nearby smiths a chance to retreat before the fires can consume them. At all other times, the violet energies allow for the smelting of all manner of skymetal. Torch is one of the only locations where skymetal can be worked with relative ease outside of Starfall, and its entire economy has risen around these purple flames, with traveling smiths coming from across Avistan to pay for the opportunity to work with them. Of course, Torch needs all the visiting trade and coin it can gather, for while the
The town prospers, but the bulk of its income does not belong to it.
I have just completed the Iron gods AP for my live group and had a lot of fun with it. So while it's still fresh in my mind and heart I thought I'd see how another group deals with the challenges in this fun AP? Torch is looking for 4-6 bold heroes to find out why the purple flames have died and restore the towns source of fame and wealth if possible. Details:
I have 1 player already selected, playing a Barbarian. 20 point buy. No 3PP please. 2 traits, one from the Iron gods players guide. No Drawbacks. Good or neutral alignment preferred. I run a fast game, so 1 or 2 posts a day minimum is needed. If you are unable to post for a time let me know and we can arrange for your absence. Iron gods has a nice range of challenges, including the monsters, so don't over specialize on Robot killing. It will bite you in the ass. :) Any questions or builds you wish me to consider let me know.
We seem to have lost our Witch. The party has just reached 3rd level and could use an Arcane caster of some form in the party. details:
25 point buy.
This is the game so far. Game thread
We have a party of five that has just started Skull & Shackles. Male Human Witch. (Time patron)
The Wizard is very busy sadly and I'm botting him until the player can get more time. So we're looking for one more player to join the party to make a core group of around four; as some of the other players may also have problems posting from time to time. Character creation: 25pt buy. No Occult or 3PP. 2 traits, one from S&S. Give me a line or two to show your background.
Skull & shackles is tough, and rewards good roleplaying, cunning and charm. But don't forget the muscle.
You awaken to the feel of your uncomfortable bed swaying under you. Your head aching, your stomach queasy you blink in confusion? Slowly you realize you are on a ship, but you can't remember how you got here? Barnabas II and Kung. The last thing you remember was enjoying an evening at the Formidably Maid Tavern.
Ghilda and Dorgan. You both recall you were wandering Port peril the last evening, until a blow to the back of your heads sent you to sleep. Struggling to rise you find you have been stripped down to little more than your clothing, no weapons, armor, spellbooks or holy symbols. Any coin you had is long gone also. As you finally reach your feet you realize you are not alone, looking around you can see four others in the same state as yourself?
Barnabas. Bosley is still with you, whoever stripped you of everything you owned obviously didn't think a Turtle important enough to bother with. Ghilda, As you reach your feet Chorley emerges from where he has been hiding in the wooden beams. Chattering with relief and joy to see you awake.
This is the thread to discuss your characters and get our game set up. Questions, ideas and GM bribery all get settled here. So far we have. Wolverine blue's Cleric.
After pondering the matter for some time my Human Slayer,with the 'Orphaned by Giants' campaign trait took the plunge. Getting good and drunk She had her hand cut off and replaced with the Steel hand of Nargrim. After taking the 'Iron will' feat just in case. She's already fumbled a will save and slaughtered a pair of Stone Giants on a bridge. No idea if it was a possibly peaceful encounter of not? Anyone else given this interesting minor artifact a tryout? DBH
Our party is just starting part 3. Forge of the giant god. Branwen Alise - Human female. Slayer 7. Gilda Sintkilder - Dwarf female. Ranger 7. Jagged Heart - Gnome male. Cleric 7 of Hanspur. Domains Death & Travel. Valindra Shadowmantle - Elf female. Arcanist 7. The Slayer took the Rogue trapfinding talent at 2nd level and fills the party rogue role very well. DBH
A question regarding Witches and their spells. Gilbrok the tongue was captured alive and has been slapped in Shackles of compliance by my parties Witch, his familiar was also captured and charmed. The Witch has been doing unspeakable things to every magic user they captured or killed to gain new spells. Having captured Gilbrok she wants all his spells, his listing details all the spells he had prepared, but not any he wasn't using. The Witches player is arguing that Gilbrok should have more spells, which is a valid point, the other magic user NPC's all had unprepared spells in their listings. Is there anything about Witches drawing their magic from their Familiar that would prevent this? DBH
One of my player has finally got his character ready, except for one detail. Can anyone point me to a book which has seagulls, parrots or monkeys as familiars? DBH
My Alchemist hit her enemy with a bomb, the enemy then caught fire. The next round the enemy cast Greater invisibility on them self. Would they still be shedding light even though invisible? DBH
While playing around trying out character builds this came to me. The Dwarven Gunslinger - Yosemite Sam. DBH |
