Dragon Compendium and Golarion

[Andrew Bigwood]

Is there any chance of getting some sort of semi-official info on where the races (and maybe core classes) from the compendium fit/exist in Golarion? I know I can simply adapt it myself but an answer of some sort from the creators would make them feel a bit more real.

I play with a range of DMs who generally say "yeah play whatever you want" but you are then kind of an oddity as you never hear, see or get any hint of your PCs race ever existing.

I know all about the 'traveller from a distant land' thing but it would be cool to see lupins, Tibbits, Dvati and Diopsids incorporated in their own right.

Cheers

Alas, no. No chance. The Dragon Compendium is the property of Wizards of the Coast, and we can't use any of the material in there (except for the brief bit that's open content). Which includes providing conversions and information about how to fit races and classes into Golarion.

I'd love to hear some suggestions from readers, though!

I'm hapy to do so. I generally end up doing it anyway for all of wizards 'add-ons'. I'll look seriously at Diopsids first. They need a home! Thinking of placing their society beneath the Cinderlands and the Mindspin Mountains. They were 'uncovered' by dwarven miners and have since developed something of a trade relationship with the dwarves. Trading worked metal for service as guides and caravan guards to some of the deeper reaches of the mountain. They are most commonly sighted in Janderhoff, selling mercenary services but even there they are rare.

Hows that sound for a beginning
