[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 8591654, member: 5948"] From memory, the actual books were that long, but only around half or a little more was the actual adventure. There was also fiction, monsters, a gazetteer of a significant place in the adventure, a bit of general Golarion setting background etc. Some of that would need to be included in a compiled hardback, but by no means all. Also, PF stat blocks are much bigger and consume more space than 5e stat blocks, especially at high level (in PF1 at least). So there’d probably be a fair bit of capacity to save page count there. Though on the other hand, PF APs generally assume you have access to original PF monsters in the various PF bestiaries, the expansion rules from things like Ultimate Intrigue, background on Golarion and its gods from the worldbook etc etc. Paizo cross-sell products HARD. If they’re dipping their toe in 5e, they’d need to convert a lot of that stuff over and make it available, which is more pagecount somewhere, whether in the AP itself, or whether in a completely different 5e product. I suspect that’s why this particular AP was chosen - if it’s all in a dungeon, it’s a closed single-location environment that’s easily portable to other campaign worlds, and from what I can read in the summary, unlike many other APs it isn’t tied tightly to Golarion’s gods, history, or geography. So it’s a handy trial balloon. [/QUOTE]
