I am getting a bit confused. I took out a subscription on pathfinder as I have been a real fan of the adventure paths in Dungeon magazine. And I have to say: the format is absolutely great! The monthly subscription fee is a bit steep, but I can manage and I am getting a complete resource on a pretty cool world from some of the best authors in the D&D hobby.
At least, that's what I thought....
Now I find out Game Mastery modules are set in the same world... And there will be Path Finder Chronicles, and it seems they will be published monthly, too...
To try and stay complete this is getting a bit much. Worst of all, it seems that all these products deal not only with the same world, but with the same continent, the same land even. Now, I am assuming that content published in one product will not be reprinted, rehashed or repeated in the other product lines, so if a city gets a Game Mastery treatment we will not see it in Pathfinder, correct? That wouldn't be fair to the people subscribing to both...
What does that mean, though? To stay complete on the Pathfinder world what do I have to buy, and how much will it cost me annually? If this is going the same way all the TSR lines went, with a $30 or $40 or more montly investment to stay up to date on a product line, I will have to step out.
I would very much like to see two things:
1. A clear list as what belongs to a world and what does not. It is getting very confusing.
2. A Paizo commitment as to how much money it will take, max. annually, to stay up to date.
