Message: <blockquote data-quote="Parmandur" data-source="post: 9175973" data-attributes="member: 6780330">In the interest of bumping the OP and some speculation, I dug back and found some numbers I ran about Yawning Portal and Ghosts of Saltmatsh <a href="http://Post in thread %27Greyhawk setting material%27 https://www.enworld.org/threads/greyhawk-setting-material.666766/post-7799540" target="_blank"> </a>way back, when I was mulling the idea of a WG module book, the numbers aren't necessarily accurate with newer word counts and fonts, etc(Hommlet, Elemental Evil, Tsojcanth, Thatizdun, and...Maure Castle, maybe City of Dkulls. Thought Barrier Peaks was off the table): Parmandur said:Easily done: T1-4 take place geographically just across Furondy and Veluna, and bring the characters to precisely the right level range by the end of the Temple of Elemental Evil, which happily enough can be tied to both Tharizdun and Iggwilv. In point of fact, S4 had been conceived of as WG3, with T1 to be changed to WG1 with the Temple of Elemental Evil being WG2.For an even more climactic fight, have the reprint end with confronting Iuz across the way by reprinting City of Skulls, and connect it all with some regional Gazeeter material....Click to expand...maybe, but putting T1-4, LCT, and FTT all in one book would result in one HUGE book... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />David Howery said:maybe, but putting T1-4, LCT, and FTT all in one book would result in one HUGE book... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Smaller than you might think. First point is, that the old edition reprints in GoS and TftYP have taken up significantly fewer pages than the original modules (different print, page size etc.). Just taking the face page count though:T1-4 with 128 page book and 16 page map supplementS4 with two 32- page books, one of them primarily a Bestiary in my understanding, and a folder mapWG4 with 32 pages & folder mapSo that's ~240 pages in the old format on the face of it.In contrast, for Ghosts of Saltmarsh, we had:U1 was a 32 page module with folder map, but takes up 23 pages in GoSU2 was a 32 page module with folder map, bit takes up 26 pages in GoSU3 was a 48 page book with foldout map, but takes up 29 pages in GoSSo, ~116 pages (including poster maps) of 1E material became 78 pages of 5E material, roughly two-thirds of the space used. Therefore, we can conclude that T1-4, S3, and WG4 would be a comfortably sized 5E book, with loads of room for other material.</blockquote>
