Like the real world? Odd. I don't get how this is a hawt take.
Paizo Spicy hot take: Golarion isn't a setting...
- Thread starter Desdichado
- Start date
I thought it was Paizo's Greyhawk.

I don't either, I see it as kind of brilliant, actually. I wish more settings explicitly followed this design parameter.

The names are spelled differently. .
Just on the idea that Golarion has some insular regions... how does the setting stop firearms from Alkenstar and advanced tech from Numeria from spreading throughout the realm?
Has any country thought to invade Alkenstar/Numeria to acquire its tech? Or they wouldn't dare as they'd be shot to pieces?
Just think of the advantage that gear would give you in war. Everyone would be after it.

It has spread. There just isn't a huge supply, and places outside Numeria and Alkenstar don't have the raw materials and/or manufacturing facilities to start churning out their own stock.

That's part of it. I remember reading years ago that when they created Greyhawk, the team asked what all they wanted to see in their RPG setting. This included their favorite D&D/RPG tropes.
So, for example, Ustalav is inspired by Ravenloft and Numeria is inspired by Expedition to the Barrier Peaks.
