Pathfinder Chronicles 3.5 sourcebooks

[Necronomitron]

How much of the pre-PFRPG Chronicles 3.5 fluff material has been recovered in native PF books? If there's stuff that isn't going to be gone over in PF then I'm thinking about picking those up too, but I don't want a bunch of conversion projects. Which of those books would you recommend to help complete the lore of Golarion?

You may want to clarify. A lot.

The only 3.5 material Paizo is legally able to update and republish is open content. Primarily the PHB, Monster Manual, and parts of the DMG.

That said, conversion is no big deal for a lot of content, usually taking little more than a glance and a minute. Some stuff (like old Polymorph effects) has to go, but that's fairly little and rather obvious.

Actually, what OP meant is how much 3.5 crunch is in pre-PFRPG Pathfinder Chronicles books.

And the answer is: not much. Paizo was anticipating a system change from the very beginning, so Chronicles/Companions were (and still are) rather crunch-light.

As for recommendations: which area of interest about Golarion you got in mind ?

Thanks both for your replies. I see that i could have worded my post much better, but Gorbacz summed it up quite well. I just didn't know if those books were something they planned on updating to PFRPG or if the fluff in them would be redundant in newer, more rules-current books.

As far as areas of interest, I like an urban tone or a political game more than I do "adventuring". I'm looking foreword to playing Kingmaker and running Council of Thieves. I picked up City of Strangers and I see tons of potential for some really dark themes there. Overall I didn't have any specific area of Golarion in mind. I just think it's a very well put together world and I like reading about it.
