Campaign Books dealing with the Varisia Area


Lost Omens Products


Hey I am new DM and new to Pathfinder and the setting but long time D&D player with lots of experience with all editions from 2nd ed on. Since I am new to this world though and noticed there is not just one big book on the world I was wondering which campaign books focused on areas used in the Rise of the Runelords AP so I can tell my players about them if they ask, and I know my wife, who is totally new to RPGs, will. Planing to start on January 6th so got a little time to research and mainly just gonna focus on the area's mentioned in the starting module Burnt Offerings, so any suggestion on where to focus my research would be greatly appreciated.

Also on another note I know the AP is designed for 4 players but I have 6 players so any advice on how to adjust the encounters for the larger party would be appreciated as well.

Varisia in General
Most Info is found in the free Rise of the Runelords Players Guide
Lost Kingdoms contains a lot of useful info about Thassilon.
Varisia, Birthplace of Legends is a useful Players Guide with some character options and some background.

Sandpoint Area
The Pathfinder Comics are set in the area near Sandpoint.
The Module We be Goblins
The First installment of the Jade Regent AP.

Magnimar
City of Monuments is one of the best city guidebooks for any RPG I have ever read.
Dawn of the Scarlett Sun is a free module that sadly requires some work but was fun to my players

Not RoTRL but still Varisia
Korvosa
Guide to Korvosa again is a brilliant city guide.
Academy of Secrets is a fun module taking place in that city.
Curse of the Crimson Throne is a whole AP (and a very good one) taking place in and around Korvosa.

Kaer Maga
City of Strangers may be a tad to weird for some players but it is every bit as brilliant as the guides to Magnimar and Korvosa
The Godsmouth Heresy is a module set beneath Kaer Maga
Seven Swords Of Sin is another module set beneath this city, but it was written for 3.5
There are at least two PFS Scenarios taking place in Kaer Maga

Riddleport
The Second Darkness Companion has the most material on the pirate city of Varisia, some of the AP is set there and in and under Varisia.

The Harrowing, Feast of Ravenmoor and Murder's Mark are all set in Varisia.

Shattered Star is a whole AP visiting locations all across Varisia, including Magnimar and Kaer Maga

Season Four of PFO takes largely place in Varisia, as do a few adventures of other seasons.
