From what I can estimate, they made forty-five thirty-two page adventures (one thousand four hundred forty pages altogether) and fifteen sixty-four page adventures (nine hundred sixty pages). So two thousand three hundred forty pages, divided by twelve, gives us two hundred pages per year of the stand-alone adventures, on average.So let's add that up. In a single year we got:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">576 pages (player's guides and campaign setting supplements)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">740 pages (hardcover books)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1,200 pages (adventure paths)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">200 pages (stand-alone adventures)</li> </ul>Altogether, that's 2,716 pages per year. And that's not counting the sixteen-page Free RPG Day supplements, novels, map packs and flip-mats, comic books (though Dynamite published those), card games, pawn boxes, etc. Not to mention the various Pathfinder Society modules, which were PDF-only products.</blockquote>
