Distance between Falcon's Hollow and Sandpoint?

Hi Everyone,

I hope someone in the know might be able to answer this question. On Saturday this week I'll have a campaign to start and I was planning on starting it with the first Pathfinder module of course. :-) Anyway since the pdf is not up yet, I think I might need to initiate Plan B, which would be the running of the adventure D0 Hollow's Last Hope (actually it also happens to be my last hope of successfully starting the campaign). So I was thinking along the lines of running this adventure and then send the PCs to Sandpoint. However some information would be nice to have on the distance between Sandpoint and Falcon's Hollow. Are these two locations a world apart or not too far to each other? That would be an important tidbit to know because if they are very far, I'd need to devise some unconventional method of travel like accidentally falling into a gate, flying there on the back of a black dragon, while the PCs are miniaturized so the dragon doesn't notice them or somesuch. But if the two communities are closer, a simple merchant caravan might also do the trick. So if anyone has insights into this, please don't hold it back. :-)

As I understand it, Falcon's Hollow and Sandpoint are on opposite sides of the continent.

I believe James Jacobs described it as Sandpoint being in California and Falcon's Hollow being in Maine...


be creative and make Falcon's Hollow the next town over from Sandpoint.

or just look on the map for another town in Varisara with similar geography. and call it that town's last hope...

You could certainly do that... although there aren't many kobolds living in Varisia at all, and there was never enough dwarves living in the region to have a minor deity like Droskar have much of a presence, so you'll end up having to fudge a few more things than locations if you put Falcon's Hollow right next to Sandpoint.


I actually appreciate the way you're distinguishing different areas of Golarion like this, James. It's very cool that there's an enormous amount of variety in terms of creatures and monsters in a place like Varisia, but that doesn't mean that everything can be found there.

I just run the module where it is and I guess I'll figure something out when I get the pdf to explain why the PCs suddenly need to travel from one end of the world to the other end to Sandpoint. :-) BTW "D0 - Hollow's Last Hope" was well received by my players, it was just right for lvl 1, nice work there Paizo.

And on another note, I find the level of communication between the Paizo staff and us, customers awesome. I think that there are very few companies out there where the editor-in-chief would chip in on such a minor topic as this. :-)

Goblins and kobolds and where they live is anything but minor! At least, to the goblins and kobolds it isn't! :)
