Inner Sea World Guide PDF vs Seeker of Secrets PDF


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Hello Everyone,

Simple question. Which PDF would you purchase if you only had $10 and why?

Thanks.

Inner Sea, unless you are really into Pathfinder Society. Inner Sea World Guide is chock-fulla awesome stuff. If you are looking to buy a physical copy of one later, though, I would recommend the hard copy, fun to flip around.


One thing I'd mention is that Seekers of Secrets has been superceded by The Pathfinder Society Field Guide which doesnt make it a bad purchase but does make it somewhat out-of-date. (Plus, in my opinion, the Field Guide was a better book).

Having said that, I'd get the Inner Sea World Guide before getting either of the Pathfinder Society sourcebooks since I prefer general information on a campaign setting to specific information about one rather limited faction within it. I think you've got more work to do if you know lots about the Pathfinder Society and nothing about the world than vice versa.

Seeker of Secrets do have the ioun stone - wayfinder renounces rules.

But overall, inner sea world guide is better. It has more fluff and character building options.


Awesome. Thanks everyone. I'm a really big fan of learning as much about the world around me and where I'm playing so it seems Inner Sea is the clear winner.

I don't think that the Inner Sea book is only 10 bucks. Only the small books and the non-setting rulebooks go for that low as PDFS.

The Inner Sea Guide is one exception to the rule of setting PDFs being full price, as Paizo wants to make sure that the bar to entry into the setting is lower.
