Second printing?


Rise of the Runelords

Are there any plans to generate a second run of RotR? My FLGS is seeing increasing interests in the AP from customers and is frustrated they can't order the entire set from their distributor.

At the moment, no. And likely in the future a straight reprint is also very unlikely. With Pathfinder being a monthly product, we want to avoid having older APs compete with newer ones. And on top of that we're not going to reprint any 3.5 material on the eve of the new game's release (reprinting in the numbers we would need to make doing so cost effective would likely strand us with way more copies than we'd ever be able to sell). So yeah, sorry, but if your retailer's interested in getting in on the ground floor he'll have a whole new campaign to pick up starting in August with Council of Thieves!

And there are plenty of Second Darkness and Legacy of Fire adventures still in print (or about to be printed in the case of LoF).

I must say that a few Curse of the Crimson Throne issues are running short, so he may want to make sure that he keeps a full set of those on hand. They are definitely not going to last forever.


Well, all I can say is that I am VERY glad to have gotten in on the ground floor with the Pathfinder APs when I did. It appears that my faith in you guys (and gals) over at Paizo was well founded. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, these book are gonna be collector's items when Paizo takes over D&D from WotC.

Would there be possible consideration of a special release of the pre-pathfinder RPG APs?

Update and errata correct to PFRPG... Maybe a yearly thing. RotRL, CotCT, SD and LoF one after the other starting 2010 and onwards.

Would be nice and limited edition all in one HC and signed of coures... make it leatherbound... wha... Am I dreaming?!? :)

Not really. We aren't a big sprawling company at Paizo, and we're generally running with barely enough resources and people to keep things on schdedule as it is. Subscribers have doubtless noticed when products slip their schedule and don't come out on time... this is particularly a problem when we're also doing HUGE additional projects like the RPG.

As a result, we generally don't have a lot of time to dedicate to producing reprints, ESPECIALLY those that include errata or are deluxe versions.

Someday, perhaps. But not any time soon.

Fair enough.

Keep the good products rolling!

Thank you Paizo.
