What other Pathfinder compatible settings are out there?


Product Discussion

Liberty's Edge

I was wondering what other Pathfinder compitable settings are out on the market.

I know of:

Freeport

Oathbound

Midgard ( a work in progress)

Anyone know of any others? I will mention that I know of some 3.5 that can be converted to 3.5 yet I have neither the time or interest to do so.

Grand Lodge

Legends of the Shining Jewel is a network campaign like PFS which uses the Pathfinder rules. (Core and APG last I checked)

There's this one, though it's a MUX and is not for-profit. It was around before Eberron and updated for PF, though has a little of the same flavor and flair. It also draws from a number of areas of geek culture, and rl culture, to make a sort of whole that on the end of things, is intended to be simple to pick up, with depth as you delve into it. If you want Arabian Nights or Author's Knights, it's there, for example.

Other than those you listed, the ones I know about are.

The Great City by 0one Games - it is a urban based campaign and doesn't extend much beyond it sorta like Freeport.

Cerulean Seas Campaign Setting by Alluria Publishing - a undersea campaign setting where most of the world is underwater. One of the all time great 3pp books and the best undersea book for any RPG IMHO.

EnWorld has one that their AP is set in. I am not sure of the name of the world or if they have a actually campaign book.

Mor Aldenn—City of Mages: Setting Guide by Headless Hydra games - another city campaign based book, though it focuses around the city some.

Shadowsfall: Shadow Plane by Jon Brazer Enterprise - It is not out yet but the players guide should be out soonish.

The Nymian Beastlands by Krewe of Harpocrates Publications - This is a work in progress where they have stuff up for playtest and they are asking for feedback currently. Not sure how the project is going.

Coliseum Morpheuon by Rite publishing - a pocket plane campaign setting.

Obsidian Twilight Campaign Setting by Louis Porter Jr Design - I honestly don't really know anything about the setting.

NeoExodus: A House Divided Campaign Setting by Louis Porter Jr Design - Another one that I honestly don't really know anything about the setting.

There is likely more that I am not thinking of that I am just unaware of. I believe Rite Publishing is considering doing Kaidan for Pathfinder, it is a Asian based campaign setting they did for Arcane Evolved.

Forgot about Cerulean Seas may have to pick that up later. Will also take a look at the others listed so far. If anyone else knows about outer settings please pot them here.

By outer settings do you mean outer planes?


It still qualifies as a work in progress since it won't be fully detailed until Book Six (out in October), but Talingarde is the default setting for Way of the Wicked.

It is a self contained archipelago of islands about the size of England, includes three major cities, wilderness and other locales for adventure.

And of course, Pathfinder's only evil campaign is set there.

I know of one!

Earthdawn: The Age of Legend

And a 6-part Adventure Campaign will be starting soon as well.


I would say any 3.x campaign setting will work just fine. I know we go on and on around here about the improvements PF made to the system and they did make a bunch if you ask me. But there is a lot of world content that is out there that works just fine with PF rules. I so no reason you could not run PF Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Heck with a little fluff you could run Darksun. My core gaming group has been playing in the same campaign world since the late 90's. It is a general mashup settings that we have cherrypicked from.


For another 3pp campaign world you could check out Torn World here and here. Shameless plug for a friend's business, lol.


Rite Publishing's Kaidan: a Japanese Ghost Story setting...

It features it's own closed cosmology. It's steeped in authentic Japanese ghost stories, folklore, history and culture. It's feudal Japan crossed with Asian horror.


Now Torn World is on Paizo.


Although it is a 3.0 campaign setting, I use and love the Midnight setting by Fantasy Flight. Dark, dark tone where the bad guys have already won.

You just described the upcoming Obsidian Apocalypse campaign setting.


Also Porphyra is in the works.

Obsidian Apocalypse is probably one of the more extreme cases of "the bad guys have already won" that I've seen. Although it's really as much of a bad situation as it is a bad guy. Forget adventure hooks...you could have some great stuff just trying to not die / not be taken as a breeding slave.


The psionic Third Dawn campaign setting is currently being converted from 3.5e to full Pathfinder compatibility.

As part of that, there's a whole campaign coming out; From the Deep.

With the exception of Carcosa.

Yup, and expect to see more for Third Dawn over the coming months (From the Deep #2 is due out this month).

Sovereign Court

Razor Coast should be out fairly soon, by all accounts.
