Planning an Absalom Campaign: What to Get?


Advice

Grand Lodge

When I asked my group what they wanted from the next campaign when we finish our current one, they wanted basically a real urban-sprawl campaign, focused more on the setting than a character to drive the plot that the PCs would follow. So I naturally pointed right to Absalom as the biggest city with the most potential, and they liked the idea.

The questions:

1. What sourcebooks have more information on Absalom besides the Inner Sea World Guide?
2. What Map Packs and Flip Mats work best for an Absalom-focused campaign?
3. What PFS scenarios take place in Absalom?

4. Absalom gets all sorts of visitors, but what races outside of core have fairly sizeable communities in Absalom?


The absalom sourcebook is GREAT, has a lot of flavor and information.
The PDF of PTOLUS will give you city based adventuring concepts for years, but is expensive.

PTOLUS is a huge gorgeous city campaign book. It's a city on top of a dungeon. Same model as Absalom, City of Greyhawk, Waterdeep in a way.

As for Absalom:
The pathfinder wiki entry for Absalom lists several sources chief among them:
(3.5) Guide to Absalom

Apparently Owen Stephens had a series of blog articles called Absolute Absalom

Here's a list of PFS scenarios set in Absalom

And a thread about Absalom modules:

This page lists the Pathfinder Modules and where they take place.

Looks like Gallery of Evil, Hangman's Noose, and Master of the Fallen Fortress are the only modules set in Absalom.
