    Early PF was a spinoff of 3.5 and the thing about 3.5 was they were letting fucking anyone write books for it which PF inherited. I don’t know if it’s explicitly any freakier than 3.5 having books on which species could interbreed and what different species breast milk tasted like

      The worst you can say about early Pathfinder is that they really wanted to stand out from D&D, so everything was just maximalized

      Ogres weren’t just maneaters, they were also incestuous sex predators

      There’s not just one evil nation of slavers, but several and slavery is even in some of the “good” nations

      Goblins weren’t just nasty little level one fodder, they were violent little firestarters

      I don’t know where beastiality comes in, unless they’re just upset that they had catfolk, gnolls, and ratfolk stuff in there
