[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9203732, member: 2209"] I believe Paizo uses a bigger team of experienced writers and designers than WotC uses to hit the volume and schedule, and a lot of data and market strategy to make it profitable. They also apparently did not pay staff that well for a long time, cashing in on the dream job aspect of gamers working in the RPG field. I was a subscriber midpathfinder 1e era for a little while in adventure paths and setting/monster sourcebooks but then dropped them and mostly got their great deals on certain PDFs and occasional great deals on older print stuff. I have run three adventure paths, a couple of modules and used a bunch of setting and monster stuff. I was not someone who would run through running an adventure path every six months, though I know such groups exist. APs are always multi-year things for me at the leisurely rate I DM Plots. It is nice to have a bunch on hand from sales to use as options depending on different tastes at different times, but I do not expect to use everything I have gotten and there are a lot of Paizo APs and modules I have not gotten.
