I'm starting a new campagin with my group and I was hoping to get some input on which country in Golarion to base it out of.
My group has a hard time having regualar meetings where everyone attends, which isn't actually a bad thing, becuase then the party gets unweildy (9 PCs are a little too much to juggle sometimes) so my idea is to have a campaign based on a series of one or two session long adventures, rather than major quests that take months of real time to play. That way, the adventures could be completed by whoever was on hand for that session. Much like every issue of the JLA doesn't need to have ever member present to fight the bad guy.
To that end, my idea is to have an out-of-the-way Pathfinders lodge (or even some sort of smaller chapter house) that has been forgotten and is barely self sustaining. The PCs would then undertake these mini adventures and slowly rebuild the importance and glory of that particular lodge.
But I can't decide where to place the lodge. I'm torn between Andoran (which seems to have a lot of different terrain to adventure in) and Varisia, which seems to have a pretty good frontier exploration spirit to it.
I guess I just wanted to get input from people who know the mapo better than I do, and see if there's anything I've overlooked.
