Let me preface this question by saying I love your Pathfinder line of products. I am looking at wanting to subscribe to the compliment products for the Pathfinder line. Now all of that said, you have several different subscription options and I am trying to sort out what is what. If I want to get everything you make for the Pathfinder line via subscription, what all do I need to subscribe to beyond Pathfinder itself.
Part 2 of my question is, once I know which products I need to subscribe too, how often do those products come. Or to phrase the question differently, how can I calculate how much all those subscriptions combined will cost me each month? I apologize if this has been covered somewhere else. I just want to make sure I am getting all the Pathfinder and its setting goodness, but I need to know what I need to subscribe to in order to get all of it. Then I need to determine how much all those subscriptions is going to cost so I can make sure I can afford the extra subscriptions.
If there is already a thread or page or anything that explains all of it, please direct me there. Otherwise thanks in advance for answering the questions. I feel like such a noob asking about this. I've seen teh superscriber tags around the site, and I know there are several different new products coming for pathfinder but I am having trouble keeping track of it all and figuring out how to subscribe so I get it all.
Thanks!!!
Linkified answer:
Pathfinder: As you know, monthly APs.
Pathfinder Companion: Every other month.
Pathfinder Modules: Every other month. It alternates with PCom above I believe. Others will confirm or disconfirm this.
Pathfinder Chronicles: Mostly monthly, but with a few hiccups because the line was not originally intended to be a subscription.
Hey dude,
Folks will come in and tell you what they think of all these, I'm playing with my daughter and don't have time to post a long explanantion, so above are links to the 4 main Pathfinder subscriptions.

The Modules will be every month for the next 6 months, and then will alternate with companion. You also get the first compaion free if you have a pathfinder subscription, as it will act as the player's guide for that adventure path. (the companions are designed to be 95%+ player friendly, and not spoiling the AP we are told).
Pathfinder Chronicles: Mostly monthly, but with a few hiccups because the line was not originally intended to be a subscription.
Also this line doesn't have a set price, it includes the map packs, Campaign Setting Hardcover, the gazetteers, Harrow deck, and anything else that tells part of the history of the world.
Each of these subscriptions you will get a free PDF of the material when it ships to you, so you can read it while waiting for UPS or USPS to deliver it.

Could the official description of these subscriptions be added to the official FAQ? I too was a little confused about all the new subscriptions, especially with the name change to the Modules line happening around the same time.
We definitely need to update the FAQ, and that'll be part of it.
