The new Rise of the Rulenods players guide got me thinking.
Having just got my players to actually like Greyhawk 1/3 through the STAP campaign, I wonder if I should use Varisita (the new Pazio setting) in its own world or in Greyhawk. I figured out where I would put it; to the east of the Great Kingdom, across the sea, as a lost colony of said Great Kingdom. The back stories match decently enough. Of course, there will be loads of details that needs to change, and once the players go continent-hopping, things might go critical.
I mainly want to avoid introducing a new pantheon of gods; though the pantheon of Varisita is mercifully small and simple, some of my players are getting attached to the Greyhawk gods.
Anyone else gave a thought to this?
PS: Maybe it is time for a new Rise of the Runelords sub-forum here at Paizo, and if so this thread belongs there and not in transition.

There actually is a Rise of the Runelords thread, and yes this post would do better there then here. I do know of other DMs who will be running the Pathfinder Chronicles Adventure Paths in Greyhawk rather then in Varisia. Yes that's Varisia not Varistia heh. And actually Varisia is only one of the small kingdoms of the world. The whole world being called Galorion.
Now while I respect the concept of the adventure path being run in another setting, which should be able to be done with some editing. I personally feel that it will be exciting to see this new campaign setting grow and know that I've been a part of it since day 1 as well as the various players that will be attending my table over the years to come.
However, if you are looking for more information on how other DMs will be converting, may I recommend starting a thread up on the Rise of Runelord's forum, and reading some of the previous threads there.
I'd supply a link, but kinda lazy right now sorry. However go to www.paizo.com. Click on Pathfinder, then choose the message board option next to the blog option. You'll find it.
Hope I was of some help.
