AP Releases


Pathfinder Adventure Path General Discussion


I thought the idea of the AP was that one book would come out each month and so you would have 2 APs a year.

I was was looking at the APs and it says books #47-49 are coming out in the July and #50 is coming out in September. Has such a release schedule always been the case or has the schedule changed over time?


It's the effect of Paizo getting behind schedule and trying to catch up. The plan is 1 book a month, 2 full APs a year. You still get 12 books a year, but as the staff gets behind schedule, some books miss their deadline and have to ship with a later installment.

Paizo hates it as much as or more than the customer does. :)

Paizo actually might hate it MORE than the customer, honestly... :-P

You're looking at this the wrong way. Paizo actually owes you ~0.231 issues/week.

Since I never bought one they really don't owe me anything.

You often see 2 APs in July (one is really the August one, but it needs to be out for GenCon). However Paizo is one issue behind and that is supposed to be the month they catch up. (we will see if they actually do).

Paizo usually errors on the side of quality over quantity.
