Where is your 2e game set?


Pathfinder Second Edition General Discussion


Super curious to hear, beyond just the prewritten stuff.

Was going to be homebrew. Now it looks like possibly Eberron. Not a campaign, but my next game will be set on the edge of Breland and Droaam during the Last War.

I don't know if you are only asking about Golarion-based campaigns, but my group and I have been playing in the universe of the Pillars of Eternity games. We are now sailing through the Deadfire Archipelago. I had to do a bit of homebrewery for ancestries and the gods, but we are enjoying the system so far.

Golarion... with Green Ronin's Freeport homebrewed into the mix (some 600 miles west of Magnimar).

Getting my players invested in PF2 was easier since I made references to places they'd used a lot in earlier PF1 campaigns like Sandpoint.

My main group is currently using microscope to homebrew (and then destroy) a kingdom in the broken lands to play in. I may share it because I find microscoped settings to be fabulously fun to look at but don't know if thats true for others.


Our home campaign setting is a bit more industrial than what the core rulebook supports, so our PF2 campaign is currently set about 400 years before the events of most of our PF1 campaigns.


We started running play test Legacy of Fire in June with the thought when the final rules were released we’d either continue or start something new. I have about two weeks to decide. I’m neck deep in converting Eberron but won’t be done in time and I’d rather wait for the GMG before that anyway.

So now I’m thinking PF2 in the Chaos Scar. It’s a nice self contained area with that would allows us to get our feat wet and I can run some of the 4e Dungeon adventures without to much work.


If I'm running a published adventure, it'll be Golarion (because if I am using someone else's writing, it's because I don't want to have to do any writing of my own)

Otherwise, I'm building a home-brew world and using that... but I'm taking my time so it's not gonna be ready for at least a few more months.

I'd like to hear how that goes, if you don't mind posting about it.

Eberron has long been a love of mine. I don't ever get to play it. But I have all the 3E, 4E, and 5E (so far) books for it. And I love reading about it in novels, Keith's blog posts, and what not.
I'd love to hear how PF2 plays in that setting.

I am currently running a fresh campaign with a a couple of sessions set on a border town between Kyonin, Five King Mountains and Galt.

None of these regions felt really develop in the APs so they feel like a good place to start as a baseline Pathfinder high fantasy adventure. Enough story hooks from old source books and the area is rip for a long term campaign, while being generously open to several character concepts.

I've been running a game for a while now in a Very homebrew setting, previously in a somewhat homebrewed version of the playtest (just adapting my ancestry options etc. to the final version so I can actually run a game this weekend).

The setting itself consists largely of a thriving multiplanar metropolis, with more exotic planes being the result of a war between the gods (also homebrew) and the all-consuming world serpent. Probably the most notable bit about the planes is that all of them were originally parallel worlds thanks to the actions of the players in my previous campaign.

For the most part the actual setting style is modern or even a more upbeat variant of cyberpunk, but with all the technology replaced with arcane magic.

The actual content of the game so far has varied from a ritual in the form of a concert (ran by a well known group of travelling occultists), to a diabolic infestation in a small neighbourhood, to gang warfare, to bioterrorists, and being interrogated by a megacorp.

The current top runner for antagonist is a cleric of the world serpent who has been organising bioterror attacks and peddling weirdly high tech wares from my equivalent of the afterlife (read: sort of like dark sun but the sand is acidic and there happens to be skeletal sea-life swimming through the sands of the dried-up oceans).

The Exchange

Will be: Forgotten Realms as of 1370 DR, most probably in the Great Dale/Impiltur region. Still working on it.

I'm still running a PF 1 Rise of the Runelords game as per the books. I hope that I can convince my players to convert that to PF 2, but I'll probably have to wait until I have the German version of the Core Rules.


Finalizing my homebrew setting for next months campaign right now.

I'm gearing up for a short campaign in Korvosa (because it's one of my favorite cities in Golarion). Gonna rebuild the Sable Marine company

Got to get a group together first, but definitely. Last time I ran a campaign in Eberron was 7 years ago under D&D 4th ed. Pathfinder 2e (due to it's strong similarities) looks like it could work pretty well for it.


My 2e campaign is going to be in a fairy world based on the the board game Illimat/The Decemberists' discography.

Right now, based out of Sigil (in the Planescape setting).

I'm putting together a campaign where the players are Sleepless Detectives in Ustalav. It is going to be more of an episodic, X-files style campaign.

I'll warn your players to stay away from the wild rushes.
