Question about 3.5 versus new content


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


Hey Community
Quick question about old versus new content. Now I know Pathfinder is backward compatible, but has Paizo made any big changes to golarion in there new stuff? Like for example are Taldor, Echoes of Glory and Osirion, Land of Pharaohs still worth buying or has this information been updated for the Pathfinder line? I know the Inner sea guide got such an update, I'm just curious how extensive this world update was before I start buying more Golarion content. Thanks

They're still worth buying as setting background material.

So the only difference is the core system being different. Paizo didn't do an across the board update on the lore persay with the pathfinder line? If so was the nature of the inner sea guide update purely system side?


Self bump for clarification.

The Inner Sea World Guide does retcon and alter a few small things (Alkenstar's gun discover was made more recent, Darklight Sisterhood is gone) however most of the content was expanded, not changed. Nothing dramatic.

Also, you should have posted this question in the Campaign Setting forum - this forum is for system and rules stuff mostly.

The Inner Sea Guide has more new stuff and some overlap. There's considerable value in having both.

Thank you, and my apologies.

Oh okay, well its good to know I can purchase the older stuff and not have any major conflicts. However Taldor and Osirion, for example, are pretty important areas in the Golarion lore, any chance we'll see a new content books for those older regions anytime soon?
