Binding a Collected Adventure Path


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


I have recently completed my collection of the Rise of the Runelords AP, and when I hold all 6 volumes together with the player's guide on top, I find myself coveting a single volume of that size and appearance.

Has anyone on the forums attempted to bind the various issues together? Have you any advice on how to follow through with such a whimsical idea? Obviously the stakes are high, as I risk damaging my newly completed collection.

I have bound versions of Shackled City, Age of Worms, and Savage Tide - I actually pulled apart the magazines and put the pages in Protectors. Each AP, including all the supplemental articles from Dungeon and Dragon, fit in one of those huge 5" D-ring binders. Their even more unwieldy the the PRPG Core Book, but I transfer the section(s) I need to a smaller one on games night.

I would have a more difficult time tearing apart a Pathfinder Adventure Path book...

I personally wouldn't destroy my APs...Unless...I could afford to have them leather bound by a professional bookbinder, complete with a hand-stitched cover with stylized gold or silver embossing...(silver in black leather personally)

I might be wrong but I wouldn't be to shocked if sometime down the road after all the issues have been sold for a AP weather that is dungeon or the new AP series that they might do a combined book.

Especially now that PFRPG is out. I wouldn't be all that shocked in a couple of years to see a RotRL collected book updated to PFRPG rules. It might never happen and paizo has said in the past they have no intention of doing it. But if demand gets high enough and all the AP's are long sold out I wouldn't be shocked.


If I didn't have all of the original APs I might consider buying one professionally combined into a single book (like the Shackled City AP) but I don't think I'd try to convert my six books into one somehow. It'd just be too unwieldy. And I actually like just being able to carry one volume (maybe two if I need the next for reference) to the game.

I don't think I can bring myself to do it.

A friend of mine tells me that university archivists bind journal issues together all the time. But I wouldn't want to destroy them...

I suppose I'll have to wait for the Pathfinder 5th Anniversary Rise of the Runelords Hardcover.

Spoiler:
If you thought that was a link, I formally apologize for breaking your heart.

Some of the APs aren't available in print anymore, so I'll probably be waiting for the anniversary issues too. I have one beautiful book on my Pathfinder Shelf, with a number 25 on the binding mocking me. It's saying "Where's 1-24, huh? Huh?"

If you look around the internets, you'll have no problem finding the out of print Pathfinders.

Just to prove this to myself, I went to amazon.com and shopped around. I was able to find new or like-new copies of all six of the "Rise of the Runelords" for sale, most at steep discounts from the cover price. Only #1 has held its value at all and even it wasn't hard to find at cover. The depreciation on RPG books remains fierce.

And don't forget about Abebooks and Alibris

Both are great sites for low cost books.

Seems to me the easiest way to bind them in a really nice looking format is to get the PDFs for each of them and send them to lulu.com and have them bound. Could be a tad bit expensive though.

But it would be easy and very attractive.

Now that you mention it, I just might do that someday...

Is it legal?

If so... I've got some scenarios I wouldn't mind having in one compiled book! :D
