I think the first AP will be the flashiest to try and keep the subscriber so that they purchase through the first 6 - assuming most people's subscriptions will expire before the first 6 Pathfinders. I don't think it's priced too high. The real question is whether people who only have a $20.00 a month gaming budget will spend it on Pathfinder rather then something else. I generally buy 4-6 books a month. Making one of them Pathfinder isn't a big deal for me as long as I feel I'm getting use from the book. I do think it's important for people to stop thinking about this like a magazine though. It's a 96 page full color book that contains a monthly module and campaign/world information. So what you're really getting is 40-50 pages of module each month and 40-50 pages of campaign info. I think people need to think about as if they were getting a monthly Dragonlance module and 40-50 pages of Gazetteer/campaign info in each book. This I agree with. I think after the first couple of series the book will probably need to shift into a monthly campaign sourcebook filling in more of the world and creatures for a series, then maybe jump back into another AP. I agree here as well, but I also think there are going to be people picking up random books because the particular adventure suits their needs in their own campaign. I also think Paizo is hoping the campaign information in the book will make people interested enough in the world to want to read more. I don't think it has any bearing at all. Pathfinder is a series of adventures tied to a specific game world. Pathfinder is not a monthly magazine. It's a monthly adventure and campaign information sourcebook. The articles in Pathfinder aren't about D&D. They're about the Pathfinder setting and world and how to get the most out of it when playing the adventures. I know I said it above but I'll repeat it. Pathfinder is like taking the 12 Dragonlance modules and the Dragonlance sourcebook and cramming it all into 6 sourcebooks and selling them one a month. People who want generic D&D/d20 will turn to DI. People who want to play in the Pathfinder universe will turn to it.</blockquote>
