[QUOTE="payn, post: 8681908, member: 90374"] Heya, Had some extra time today and so thought I would browse a few Paizo player's guides for page count. I started with Kingmaker an early Pathfinder era campaign. Came in at 13 pages. This guide has a lot of setting background, more than most, and some kingdom building resource pages. Iron Gods was late PF1 and came in at 10 pages. I expected more with both a new ancestry (race) and technology feats and primer. Finally, I decided to grab a PF2 era PCG for review. Wow, only 8 pages. Should not have been surprising since Abomination Vaults is a basic dungeon crawl campaign without any bells or whistles. [B]Kingmaker breakdown[/B]: 1 page of setting and campaign background. 2 pages or Ancestries (formerly known as race) 4 pages of class recommendations 2 pages of campaign traits (mechanics custom fit for the campaign) 4 pages of kingdom building resources. 13 total pages. [B]Iron Gods breakdown:[/B] 1 page of campaign teaser 2 pages of class overview 1 page of new ancestry Android 2 pages of campaign traits 2 pages of technology mechanic supplement 1 page of beginning village info 1 page of beginning village map 10 total pages [B]Abomination Vaults breakdown:[/B] 1 page alignment/ancestry/language/skill campaign overview 2 pages of background feats 1 page City of Otari map 4 pages of NPC, landmark, and population demographics on starting city 8 total pages Seems my 10-20 pages estimate was a little high. It's bound to vary campaign to campaign in page count. Though, I think these guides do well with their space. Further on in the Pathfinder era, they also begin to add more custom artwork which gives them a nice touch. [B]Bonus Aramis's ELESTRIAL CONCORDAT Guide[/B] 39 pages! Most of this is actual custom mechanics tables for the homebrew setting. With actual setting info being in the 5-8 page range as best I could tell. No artwork, total resource document only. Page count likely necessary due to homebrew setting. [/QUOTE]
