[QUOTE="vandaexpress, post: 6619916, member: 6790472"] I'm big on bringing the best possible production value to the table and my players, I buy the GF9 minis for each adventure path I run and have them professionally painted. I print out magic item cards on glossy photo paper, I scour the internet for pictures of the major NPCs and locations from the books, and I scan in pictures if I can't find them online. I print off villainous notes on parchment, and I project the battlemaps onto a table using a projector and then I have a 46" flatscreen hooked up for displaying NPC portraits, etc. I say all of this because I am THE target demo for this kind of a product, I throw ridiculous amounts of money at this hobby and love to delight my players, but the bottom line is that as time goes on, I rely less and less on physical products and more and more on digital versions of them. We use miniatures on a projected battlemap, but I no longer use physical battlemaps. Nearly everything you listed can already be obtained, with the sole exception being the villainous notes and item cards, which I make on my own, using Tintagel's MSE card sets and a printer. So I wouldn't bite on this, not because I don't love the idea, but because of its physical format. If there's one thing I learned early on in this hobby it's that I hate rifling through a zillion books and handouts and pieces of paper to find what I need. I hate how much space my D&D stuff takes up. If you were to offer these things in a DIGITAL format, I'd be all about it. I'd be happy to pay the original artists for high-res versions of the artwork featured in the books. I'd be happy to pay extra for the digital version of exclusive battlemaps that they didn't have room to include in the book itself (like the bonus maps that they included in Fantasy Ground's Hoard of the Dragon Queen). I'd be happy to pay extra for bonus digital content to help me run the adventure, like extended NPC backgrounds, etc. In fact, although the demand would probably be lower for a digital version of these things you're talking about, I think it would probably be the only way to make it financially feasible since the distribution costs for digital products are negligible. I love pathfinder's support for their APs too, but I think physical gaming is on the way out and it pains me when I go to my FLGS and I see all these pathfinder AP bonus goodies collecting dust.
