![]() This allows game designers who don't also happen to be geophysicists to put together as world with internal consistency and have some basis for deciding things like the underwater depth at which pressure may begin to cause damage to unprotected characters. However, it's common practice to assume that most of the background details of the "game planet" are as Earth-like as possible, to provide an easy frame of reference. Krome wrote: ummm Golarion is not Earth? maybe. This assumes that the map is 1/16th the size of the world. This gives Golarion a surface area of about 50.5% of earth. So, if the map is 1/16th the surface area of Golarion, it's surface is about 99,532,800 square miles. 1/16th of earth's surface area would be 12,308,437 square miles. For an area of 6,220,800 square miles.Įarth's surface area is about 196,935,000 square miles. In short, it's quite big.ĭid some quick measurements and the map is roughly 2,160 miles wide and 2,880 miles tall. 1/16th is around 6% so the map of the world we have means it's about 3* the size of Europe and 3/4 the size of North and South America, at least in comparison. This makes Europe about 2% of Earth's area and the Americas 8%. According to Wikipedia, the Earth is 510,072,000 km", while Europe is 10,180,000 and the Americas (North and South) are 42, 549,000. ![]() That seems like a pretty BIG planet.like way big. That said, if all that awesome real-estate covers only a sixteenth of the whole world, it seems like Golarion would actually be pretty big-I mean if all of that: Mwangi, Cheliax, Varisia, Taldor, if that's all contained in the space of what would be (gosh.what's 1/16th of Earth look like) the equivalent of maybe Mexico? But yeah, I could see a scale difference. There is a reason I keep beating people over the head with the idea that the Universe is Debris of change in Possibility. One change in possibility, one atom of carbon, one molecule of Salt can determine whether they are born with one eye or two eyes or none. That forest is as dependant on the first dead slug whose corpse provided the nutrients to fertilize that first plant as your yet concieved children are dependant on the next burger you eat. ![]() Yes, that is correct, and - in Earth terms - the Tropic of Cancer runs straight along the northern edge of the Mana Wastes, between Nex and Geb.Įxcept that the geography is determined by the experiences of those who live there (past, present and future). It would help get a handle on things like seasonal changes. Is that correct?Īlso, I'm curious where that map falls with regard to the equator and lines of latitude. that one-sixteenth of the Pathfinder campaign planet was represented by the large map in the campaign setting book.
