Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


Hey guys,

I've played and GMed a lot of Pathfinder, but I've never delved very deep into the lore of Golarion. If I want to start to get to know the lore better specifically, where should I start?

The Inner Sea World Guide is probably the place to start. Great book.


if you have a specific topic in mind, the wiki is a good idea too


Any novels that you would specifically recommend? I've never read any Pathfinder Tales...

Death's Heretic is wonderful (by James Sutter) and the Dave Gross novels are supposedly really good (waiting on the first ones to arrive so I can judge myself)

I liked the Winter Witch novel.

I'll second Death's Heretic!

I'll also second the wiki. Just start on an article that interests you (say, a country where you have set or are planning to set a game) and watch a day vanish as you click through links. It's a good time.

Cheers!
