Any chance of updating old Adventure Paths?


Pathfinder Adventure Path General Discussion


I don't know if I would be alone in this, but I would love to see updated versions of pre-Pathfinder RPG Adventure Paths collated into giant hardcover versions. Any chance of that?

New week, new "can you update old APs and collect them into hardcovers?" thread. Use the search-fu, it is the road to enlightement.

Yeah, this actually gets asked quite a lot.

The basic answer seems to be no. One possible exception might be that Paizo MAY consider updating Rise of the Runelords at some point, maybe on the 10th anniversary or something like that.

At least, that's what I recall the answers being. As Gorbacz so eloquently said, just do a search on it and you'll find plenty of threads ...

Yeah... and it's worth noting that next year is not only Paizo's 10th anniversary, but also Pathfinder's 5th anniversary. We haven't announced any products for 2012 yet... but still... just observing the dates of those anniversaries!


Now, dropping those dates in this thread is just plain *mean*...

Cool! 2012 is Paizo's 10th anniversary and Pathfinder's 5th anniversary. Good thing you'll get both in before the end of the world! :)

I'd love it if Paizo could buy up the rights to Shackled City, Age of Worms and Savage Tide and sell PF hardcover books for the anniversary.

Assuming WotC wanted to play ball.

You don't play ball with your biggest competitor :)

It's been done to great success in the past.

Would be nice but I don't think there is any way that would ever happen sadly.

Yah. Every incentive is to keep as one's (rightful) property for future DnD 4e adventures.

I don't know the letter of the agreement... but I'm not sure if WotC could even do that? Wouldn't reprinting anything from Dragon/Dungeon ala Paizo era require Paizo's permission as well? If not, I didn't realize the relationship was that lopsided.

I would buy 'rise of the rune lords' redux in a shot.

With very few exceptions, Wizards of the Coast owns the copyrights to everything printed in Dragon and Dungeon. (The exceptions mainly encompass non-D&D fiction and some of the comics.) Those original APs are completely theirs to use (or not use) as they please.
