I've recently made a bunch of friends interested in playing Pathfinder 2e, so I'm building a custom 1hr One-Shot for 6 players to learn the game (yes I know that time is a lie). The lore is amazing! It's got roughly 8 thousand years of history to create the current world of Golarion. The history is deep and rich, and some of that is because it's based on real world cultures and histories. There's obviously fantasy too, but a lot of nations and empires mimic real history, so it's very believable.

Okay don't be mad at me, but I'm linking to a reddit post.

I'm so sorry

This friend right here has helped me decide settings for either backstory or my own campaigns a bunch of times. It's also very useful to find a neat place and learn its lore so you can rattle off details to impress your friends. Like the tale of Gex and Neb. Or the king gorilla that has a huge weapons cache in the jungle.

I'm replying to myself because I was remembering how cool it was learning about the god king of Osirion and how insanely long that empire has been going. Not to mention Absalom! I believe there's a whole YouTube series talking about walking around Absalom like a podcast because it's so insanely detailed.
