I don't know if this is the right place to make this comment. I looked through all the forums and this seemed the most likely. Anyhow, here goes...

Is it just me, or are the labels on the maps (white letters outlined in black) very difficult to read.

I was reading the first Kingmaker book last week and, as I read about each location, I was referring back to the map. Now my eyes are very sharp, but the font was so small that the black outline merged and the worrds just appeared blurry (they're not, but that's the effect).

The intent was good. I'm sure the idea is that no matter the color of the background the letters would stand out. But, in reality the letters are just mostly black and hard to read.

Perhaps Paizo could experiment with some other color to make the legends readable or make the outline much, much finer.

Fortunately, there are great first level adventures for a beginning group. However, I think a great addition to the introductory range would be a simplified character creation booklet. Essentially, this would contain a character sheet a description of the process, a shortenedd version of PC races and classes, only the skill and feat (only the feats available to level 1 PCs) tables and just the spell tables for level 0 and 1 casters. For detailed description of feats, skills, and spells the core book would have to be consulted.

This would enable a GM to introduce Pathfinder to a new group (or a old group playing different games) very quickly without everyone having to fight over a single copy of the core book. It would be a boon to convention GMs as well.
