[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 8003356, member: 59082"] According to my research, this isn't true, at least as far as text products (books) are concerned. Here are the total individual text products published by Paizo, for 3.5, P1, Starfinder and P2, according to my charts: 2007: [B]4[/B] (all 3.5) 2008: [B]24[/B] (all 3.5) 2009: [B]28[/B] (13 3.5, 15 P1) 2010: [B]37 [/B](all P1) 2011: [B]41 [/B](all P1) 2012: [B]40 [/B](all P1) 2013: [B]41 [/B](all P1) 2014: [B]41 [/B](all P1) 2015: [B]40 [/B](all P1) 2016: [B]41 [/B](all P1) 2017: [B]38 [/B](34 P1, 4 SF) 2018: [B]48 [/B](37 P1, 11 SF) 2019: [B]46[/B] (20 P1, 11 P2, 15 SF) 2020: [B]39[/B] (1 P1, 23 P2, 15 SF) The number actually went up in 2018-19; the 2020 numbers include only what has been published or announced, so may change. So, yes: the number of Pathfinder 1 books published is "far larger" than the number of Pathfinder 2 books, but the number of Paizo books is roughly the same or more over the last few years. This might explain the possible reduction in books in 2020; that, combined with them not supporting P1 anymore. Now if we compare a typical P1 year and 2020, which is the first full P2 year, we have 40ish vs. 23 books. The big difference in terms of what is being published are the Player Companions. 2020 sees 3 hardcover splats; P1 saw a bit over 3 per year, from 2011-18 (usually 3, 4 a couple times, and 2 once). Campaign setting books have reduced from about 9 a year (plus or minus), to 4 -- but hardcovers about twice the length. Both see about a dozen adventure path episodes. There are also about half as may modules. But the dig difference are the Player Companions; P1 usually saw 10-12 a year, which hasn't been replaced. [/QUOTE]
