Except for the two primary continents of Avistan and Garund, the remaining continents have been purposely left undefined; there are no maps that I know of for them.

Kenneth - I agree about high-level play, but even in my old-school D&D days, I didn't find much that was fun to do past about 15th level, apart from kingdom-building. Retiring campaigns when characters reach 10th-15th level or so is just fine with me.

They have names but unlike say the forgotten realms campaign book there isnt anything that shows what these other continents look like.

Hi Mutant Mouse, there are several existing continents and I highly recommend that you check out the Pathfinder Wiki: http://pathfinder.wikia.com/

Or find a copy of the Pathfinder Chronicle Campaign Setting, it's $50, but I thought it was worth it.

If you are looking for a steampunk feel, try Alkenstar. They make firearms and are known for engineering, so it might make a good place to start: http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Alkenstar

Also check out the goddess of invention and clockwork, Brigh: http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Brigh

Hi all I love the pathfinder setting. But one thing I am playing with a japanese american player and hes wanting some continent that I could flesh out in pathfinder. I guess not knowing what the other continents look like and distances involved it makes my job daunting.

I'm doing my research now to something that is more like how the silk roads were done.

I wouldn't mind a beginning steampunk feel.

So besides the continents its the nations and their interactions im working on.

I never had a problem with high level play, but I am very flexible at the table when it comes to GMing. I don't necessarily apply strict mathematics to creature stats and whatnot, I rework monsters to fit the group's abilities and try to meet the player's expectations of challenge.

I picked up my copy of Pathfinder back in August, but it sat on my bookshelf mostly unread and unused until last week, when I learned an old friend of mine was restarting up his campaign with Pathfinder, and invited me to join.

After reading through the Classes, I generally like what Paizo's done with it -- each of the classes has a number of new options to pursue (with the possibly exception of the bard; it gets a few new tricks, but nothing like the sorcerer's bloodlines). I have some concerns about high level play (which is ultimately what dragged my 3.5 campaign to a hault) but so far, the system looks good for 1st-12th level adventures.

visiting the neighbor islands this weekend and stopped in the local gaming store. Found out there's a free rpg day and got a copy of the pathfinder bonus bestiary. The pathfinder bestiary is definitely on my want list. The preview was really good quality.
