Take a look at say, Masks of Nylarthoetep, for instance.The typical page count for a $28 adventure like Return to Temple of Elemental Evil is 192. For a $100 product, You could probably double or triple that, say 400 pages (Beyond the Mountains of Madness is that long, and is sold out now, so I don't see the size as a problem).400 pages is enough pages to cover a lot of bases. Sure, the progression through "chapters" or adventures might be linear (it doesn't really have to be), but each individual adventure should have at least a couple of paths through it. A DM map that provided details on what levels characters are expected to be at the beginning and end of each section of the campaign would help the DM make adjustments.It's all about saving the DM work. Last night I spent 15 minutes starting to put together props for a campaign. By the time I'm done with all the props I would have spent about 3-4 hours on prop making alone.  A professional product would eliminate the prop making time AND give me really nice looking props ready made so I don't spend time making them, etc.</blockquote>
