You do an amazing job of teaching the lore of Golarion while making it entertaining. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@MastertheGamerpg]

So glad I found this channel. My friend Jared from Nothing Ventured Nothing Games suggested this channel to me.

[@ProtoPacket]

This is something that pathfinder has needed for a long time. Please keep going, this is fantastic.

[@Ristaak]

A friend of mine showed me this channel and I must say it's amazing. Not enough youtube videos on pathfinder lore (as a dm myself I do find reading all the pdf's daunting. Been going through them all one by one but still have lots of gaps in the lore, this has been filling them out quite smoothly.)

[@user-lm6kl2ze3p]

Russian subtitles? Thank you very much! Like!

[@0mnimage]

But what happened to Joe the Plumber? #realquestions

[@carlroy]

I'm here to learn about the lore of pathfinder before the new game comes out! Think you for your explanation.

[@marktownsend2198]

OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't let this channel and series die. I love this! I will pass this along to everyone I know and bring you as many views and subscribers as I can. Can you give a reference for Aroden being sucked into the starstone and experiencing tests? I always thought he simply found it, raised it, and gained Godhood. Also love the Golarion (The Cage) icon you use as your channel image. keep up the great work.

[@VentureCaptains]

Thank you for all the kind words! I can reference that, I quoted it almost verbatim from the Hell's Rebels adventure path, chapter 4 "A song of Silver". (Page 69) Incidentally, if you enjoyed hearing about Aroden, that book has a great amount of info about his life, his church, his realm in Axis and his followers that I couldn't cover in one video without straying too far from the main topic.

[@marktownsend2198]

Venture-Captains great, thank you so much for the reference. I will definitely check that out.

[@mon0lithic629]

Why is it so hard to find anything this good about Pathfinder? This game deserves much more love

[@Danscath]

This is just awesome! Thanks!

[@bmos02]

Thanks for making these videos, a great primer to tie the books together and fill the gaps of books I don't have.

[@juliotrindade3398]

Another great video. Thank you.

[@bokajon]

Brilliant introduction! Thank you so much! This has helped me a lot.

[@matthewstockburger6696]

Great stuff!!! I have sent this video to all of the my players! Keep up the great work.

[@jonathancunningham231]

I think a good place to start with the history of Golarion would be the history of the races, where they came from and how they get to where they are today.

[@VentureCaptains]

That's a great idea actually! It might not be the next video because I kind of want to get started with some of the Inner Sea regions we teased, but its a great topic for a video down the line. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@dustinwiseman4623]

Absolutely fantastic. Truly looking forward to every one of your videos as they come out. Very well done and concise presentations. Will be using your channel as the primary initiation source for my players in to the world of Golarion, much more digestable than most i've seen.

[@TheScarletInfector]

Good stuff man. I have been looking to get more into the Lore of Golorian. I have played Pathfinder since the start but always played homebrew. I have been getting into the adventure paths tho having run Iron Gods am playing in Curse of Crimson Throne now and am preparing to run Rise of the Runelords.

[@Tseuq4gninaem]

I am really late to the party. I picked up the pathfinder adventure card game Rise of the Runelords and I love that game, but I got a "story replacement" for the card text locations. It made the game that much better. Now I find your channel and man, Pathfinder seems really good. Thank you for the videos of the lore. liked and subbed

[@martindouge4504]

I'll listen to this amazing Northern Brittish narrator every night to get to sleep.

[@jesseshultz3666]

Lol, and here I thought it was a fake accent.

[@RBGraphicDesigner]

Love this series!! Keep up the quality content!!

[@robertwilliams2520]

Hey, what do you know, the elves WERE under the table. Well I'll be dipped.......

[@breydan575]

Great work, keep them coming

[@sarapetals3963]

I came here after falling into pathfinder because of the upcoming Wrath of the Righteous crpg.

[@hakimdaaloul9886]

You gonna go Lich in that game or something else ? I always play Wizards so that's just a natural choice for me but i have to say i'm intriged about how they're gonna present the Witch class, i love a good Warlock, i'd kill me if they put no connection between your Witch and it's patron in the story. I mean what if you want to play an evil Witch that gets it's powers from a rival demon lord like Lamashtu or something, i'd love for your choices to affect the story a little more than they did in Kingmaker. That game was more about the story of your kingdom than it was about you but this one seems a little more personnal and better suited to roleplay savvy players like myself. That's why i'm also super exited about the upcoming Baldur's Gate III, even if it's a little too close to what Divinity II was, Larian have definitly proven that they know how to handle any character you want to throw at them while still making it fun and unique in the actual gameplay part of the game. I have a lot of confidence in these guys, i just hope they don't go the Bethesda route where money concerns begann to really fuck with their creative flow leading them to re-realease the same games over and over again with different skins put on them. I'm specifically thinking about Skryrim and Fallout 4 when it comes to that, not to mention the 76 disaster and all the annoying mobile releases of games that should've been made on PC or console. It's the same reason i'm chomping at the bits for Bloodlines 2, though at this point i'm really starting to get impatient, it's been an entire year since they annouced the game coming out and they made it seem like they were already pretty close to having an Alpha level product back then, now they've pushed everything back some and it's starting to get into a Cyberpunk 77 region for me. In the sense that i completly forgot about the game and don't even know if i'm gonna buy it when it comes out anymore...

[@kylehees6552]

Keep posting these to the r/pathfinder but you might consider posting them to the r/tabletop and the r/rpg subreddits too! keep up the good work, I'd love to see more, and longer videos. :D

[@DHGameStudios]

Sure, but he has to keep the rules in mind, at least for when posting on /r/pathfinder_rpg: "Time Between Posts You may link to content you have produced (whether a blog, podcast, video or something else) once per week. That means there must be at least seven days between posts. This is across all users, so please use the search function before submitting. Any content you link must be explicitly Pathfinder related. If the content is not explicitly Pathfinder related, it is subject to removal at mod's discretion. "

[@MetalGearRAY675]

DHGameStudios we'll be sure not to break those rules though we don't really have to worry about it. The time it takes to make the script, record, edit etc means this might be once every 2 weeks roughly. Especially if the videos are longer in future.

[@InvalidShortcut]

Thank you

[@Rachen1992]

You guys gonna make more of these types of videos? 10/10 would watch like 100s if these.

[@sk407]

Great stuff!

[@MrDaketa]

FINALLY, someone is making a series on the GOLDMINE that is Pathfinder Lore. Please keep this going, your work will absolutely do wonders to inspire me for my sessions. Do you have a Patreon or anything like that I could support you on?

[@VentureCaptains]

not right now. we're still building ourselves up as a channel, but ways to support it and pay for things like original thumbnail art is something we've discussed at length. for now we're content to just deliver content we know people will enjoy.

[@davidm.2506]

awesome lore explication. new subscriber

[@AxlAndLamash]

Can't wait for the next one :)

[@LongRest]

We made russian subtitles to this video. Can someone approve them?

[@VentureCaptains]

Hi, we just had a quick look over your work and the translation seems to be quite well done, so we've approved it. Thank you so much for helping these videos reach a wider audience. We've also added your name and channel link to the video description. let us know if that's an issue and we can remove it.

[@LongRest]

@@VentureCaptains Thank you! You did a great video and we are happy to help!

[@Blackguy610]

Thank you.

[@georgewashington7083]

Aroden seems a lot like the god emperor of mankind.

[@icryptlc1853]

Good Video, keep it up. Better sound quality and more consistent talking volume would be appreciated though. It´s a bit difficult to follow for a non-native speaker.

[@VentureCaptains]

sorry about that, we've been working on ways to improve the sound quality since this first episode and I like to think it has improved but I've never really had an ear for this stuff. being more consistent with the volume is something I can work on for sure, part of that is due to me struggling with specific lines and picking the only take that sounded right, even if it was slightly louder or quieter than my norm.

[@icryptlc1853]

Maybe use some audio tools for your voice or edit the gain/volume of the seperate vocal tracks to be more equal. I used Camtasia to cut some Videos and it was able to do that. I bet your software can too :)

[@aettic]

Good video, solid information, but man your pronunciation of some of these names is dubious. Abendego is pronounced "Ah-Ben-Di-Gio", Celiax is pronounced "Chell-E-Ax", and the planet is called Golarion, not Galorion.

[@VentureCaptains]

Oh we know, that was our first episode 2 years ago. I like to think it's gotten better.

[@chibinya]

Nyahaha, about time these kids learn how to play this game!

[@deusvermiculus1072]

wait.. didnt aroden die at the world wound (and didnt get iomedae her spark because she was present when he fell?)

[@VentureCaptains]

That would be rather hard, as it was exactly the death of Aroden that started the World Wound. Perhaps you are thinking of Arazni, Aroden's Herald who died on the attack on gallowspire trying to stop the whispering tyrant? As for Iomedae's Divine spark, its stated that she won it in the test of the starstone, just like Norgober and Caydan Cailean.

[@lucasbarjud5096]

Golorion

[@VentureCaptains]

I'll be lucky if I ever l live that down.

[@coolio3267]

Could u update this for 2e

[@dylanott9207]

First.

[@gwennahamilton4051]

Great video but please learn to pronounce stuff

[@VentureCaptains]

That's a fair criticism, this was our first video and I had no idea how many of these names were meant to be said. It's something I'd like to believe we fixed with more recent videos.
