Hi
sorry if this is the wrong place to post this- I'm brand new to this forum, still finding my way around.
I've recently picked up the Pathfinder Card Game, really enjoying it, but having come from a boardgame/cardgame background, rather than Roleplaying, the whole universe this stuff is set in is a bit unfamiliar to me.
I see there are various comics, novels, short stories etc around. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good starting point - I don't really want to jump into the middle of a story-arc.
Obviously if there's content that can be accessed free/online as a starting point, that's good, but if not, some recommendations could be useful ahead of splashing out on books.
thanks for any advice.
From a world-building standpoint, the best single source of information is the Inner Sea World Guide. As a hardcover book, it can be expensive, but you get the most bang for your buck information-wise.
If you want to know about the heroes of the game, which I believe are our Iconics, the best source is actually this very website. Do a search under "Meet the Iconics".
The Pathfinder Wiki is pretty well-maintained, and has a ton of information about the setting. The Meet the Iconics series is great for backstory on the characters you're most likely familiar with from the card game. The Inner Sea World Guide gives a good overview of each of the nations in the Inner Sea region of Golarion, as well as brief descriptions of deities and organizations (and the PDF is only $10!).
That should be enough to get started, at least. Welcome to Golarion!
