[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 3693595, member: 20741"] Paizo has been asking to receive permission to publish an AoW hardcover for a few years now. They've never received it. There is no reason now to think that it will ever be granted. It's not hard to see why WotC does not want to see a hardcover like that out in the marketplace. It's huge, necessarily [B]very[/B] expensive and so would not likely sell very well. Worse, among the gaming groups that do buy it and play it, its size and length pretty much take that DM and group out of the market for other adventure products for a year or several more. I've been running the AoW AP from [I]Dungeon[/I] for 2 years this month. My session today marks the start of our third year on the camapign, as session #32. My players are about two thirds of the way through module #7 [I]The Shadow of Long Spire[/I]. At this rate - our AoW campaign will go another year and a half at least - and maybe even 2 more. During that time, I have bought [I]Savage Tide[/I] of course as I am a Dungeon subscriber. I bought MWP's [I]Price of Courage [/I] as it was a third volume in an adventure path series I stared to buy before I was running AoW. But I didn't look at buying any other adventures of any kind over the past two years at all. Pathfinder excepted, I don't expect to do so over the next two years, either. My point: While WotC's decision not to license an AoW hardcover may not be in the interest of some hardcore players, I can certainly see why they don't want to compete against it with their own FR adventure path books and other modules. It just cannabalizes their own sales with a monster product that has a lower margin. [/QUOTE]
