Not sure what my fingers were thinking.Yeah, there's the RPG Superstar one and occasionally another one. This year there's an occult one to tie into the hardback book. They do seem to be increasingly redundant. Apart from Dragon's Demand they've been fairly forgettable of late.Agreed. About two per month plus specials. Identical there. Well, when Paizo can they also just reference the books. But modifying a creature is a little trickier than just adding 1 or 2 lines. But lemme reference a random AP (aka the one beside me because I'm running it in a week). Looks like in this AP they'd have saved a full 7 pages (rounded up) on statblocks, and possibly more because Pathfinder includes a mini-statblock referencing xp, tactics, morale, and hp. Likely closer to 8 or 9 pages. That's in the 50-odd page AP volume. So in three volumes (150-pages total) it would have easily saved 24 pages. So PotA has 120-pages of full adventure is really comparable to three volumes of a Pathfinder AP. So, excluding statblocks, a full AP will easily have twice the content of PotA.Now, if PotA didn't have as much filler (converting to other worlds, concept art, the genasi, the prequel adventures, etc, it could easily have had another 50-60 pages of content. So a storyline adventure book really has room for the same amount of adventure as 4 Pathfinder APs.</blockquote>
