I got this book when it came out at my FLGS and I love it. I was especially delighted by the Caves of Chaos section of the Worldwound entry. Does anyone know if there are any other references to classic D&D modules in the book. I'll admit I haven't read it cover to cover but even a good skimming couldn't turn up any others.

This is the first 'homage' reference I've seen in Golarion canon. I just found it today and thought it was INCREDIBLY COOL.
And yes, I know that this is over a year late in response.
I feel foolish for stating the obvious... and in fact, I don't even HAVE the campaign setting yet, just the gazetteer. But what the heck, I've made dumb comments before...
Lastwall struck me as "What if Iuz hadn't been freed from under Castle Greyhawk?"
And it's no secret that Numeria is there for you to run Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, or some adventure like it.

Numeria is also heavily inspired by Thundarr the Barbarian.
There are a LOT of Easter Eggs in the campaign setting. Almost none of them are direct D&D things though.
Thuvia, for example, is named after a companion of John Carter of Mars, and many of the leaders of that nation are named for nobles in various sword-and-planet novels.

Yup! Which is cool as I'm now reading Gods of Mars, I had always wondered if that was on purpose, in hindsight, it really had to be.

I so love Thundarr. It was always my favorite cartoon
I hadn't considered it that way. That is totally awesome (begins designing mok as a PC race for Kingmaker bestiary).
Yes!!!!
Who wouldn't play that

It's already been done - there's a full Thundarr role playing game out there. I've yet to try it out, but keep thinking about it.
DEMON DOGS!
Fixed that for you. ;-)I hadn't considered it that way. That is totally awesome (begins designing mok as a PC race for Kingmaker bestiary).AAAHHHHEEEE!!!!

You realize that if you are toying with me here and are not actually planning on putting in mok as a player race, I will cry
You realize that right?
ok then, just so we're clear
So Vaughn, which Kingmaker is this gonna be in?
Well, maybe Ookla wasn't invited on this ride for a reason...
Ariel did have a very nice backside for a cartoon character . . .

Interesting...
Game mechanics adapted from the 1992 edition of Over the Edge ™ (Jonathan Tweet, Robin D. Laws) by Brandon Blackmoor.

Okay, now I can directly quote James Jacobs in this thread:
...the River Kingdoms was most directly inspired by Greyhawk's Bandit Kingdoms...
no mok, oh well
