I apologize if this has been asked before, but is there any chance that the current line of GameMastery Modules will ever be compiled into one large book? I have wanted to pick up the subscription of the modules for a while now, but due to limited budgetary constraints can only pick up pathfinder.
I guess the way I'm envisioning this would be to take the modules in groups of six to 12. If it's one larger expense rather than multiple small expenses . . . I might be able to talk my wife into letting me get it.
I'm kind of expecting an answer of "No, we're not going to do what you're asking.", or even "We have no plans for this at this time.", but I learned that it never hurts to ask.
I'm okay with that.
This is something we have considered, albeit in a smaller format than you're envisioning. It would be more like 3-4 modules put together.
Something along the lines of all the modules centered around Falcon's Hollow or Absalom perhaps?
Answer unclear. Ask again later.
Bah, I don't care how they're grouped. I'd originally assumed that they'd be grouped by original release date. But, I guess, now that I think about it a little, grouping by module location or group level or module type could work just as good.

hmm... I thought the other way, I didn't consider a "2007 GameMastery Collection" concept.
I have to say that while I have the subscription, if these were done nicely in a hardcover, and maybe has some more links added between adventures (ie. Shackled City Hardcover) I'd most likely pick it up as well.*

similar vote - I may have a subscription, but I'd rather read from a thicker book that won't get wrecked in my car on the way to the spot we're gaming - especially if it has more setting information...
If this was done, I wouldn't be picking up the hardcover, and would hope that if Paizo decided to put more stuff into the modules, they would release that information as a pdf free for those subscribers who have already received the modules.
If I didn't have the subscription, I'd do a hard cover in the vein of "2007 GameMastery Module Compendium". Of course, it would make sense for a "Q1 2007 GameMastery Module Compendium".
I don't think the grouping by Adventure type would be as good, as you'd get less in one or the other. Grouping by general location would be good, but same issue (IMHO).

I asked a similar question with regards to Pathfinder. A collection of a Pathfinder Adventure Path was shot down as it would seem to detract from the sales of the monthly Pathfinder subscription. I am wondering what logic would call for Paizo to differentiate with its Gamemastery series.
Correct.
One of the main reasons we wanted to do Shackled City as a book was that magazines never get reprinted; once they're gone, they're gone. In addition, they're printed on really crappy paper, so they have very limited staying power. Preserving the Shackled City in hardcover was as much a trick to preserve the adventure itself for the future as it was a chance for us to revise and fix the adventure.
With GameMastery modules and Pathfinder... they're already books. There's no real need to reprint them in hardcover format.
That said, slipcase editions or bundle deals or whatever aren't out of the question... but recompiling them into hardcover printings isn't on the list.
