Hey Guys,
Quick question.
I have both the Rise of the Runelords and Curse of the Crimson Throne special anniversary editions.
Is this now something Paizo's going to do for all the adventure paths, starting now then from Second Darkness?
I can see them all lined up on my shelf, so it would be real nice.
You guys got any idea about this?

Not at this time but anything is possible, it'll probably be 5 or more years from now before they do another one if they did, since if people knew they could hold off for a few months and buy the hardcover for cheaper it would mean a loss of a LOT of money for Paizo. They have to basically be sold out of almost every issue as well.

I think it would make a lot of sense to make Anniversary Editions of those APs that were originally published for D&D. It's a great chance to port them over to Pathfinder and get new sales.
As for APs that were alreasy Pathfinder to begin with? Maybe after a really long time has passed. Ten or fifteen years later, maybe. Otherwise they do risk hurting their sales base, for some reason when there's the prospect of a "soon-to-come, better edition", a lot of people put off buying until later, and out of those who do, a large number forget or decide not to buy.

They can't use the one originally written for D&D (Age of Worms and Savage Tide) because WotC owns them and all the associated IP.
Shackled City (the first AP) was compiled into a hardcover before WotC yanked the Dragon/Dungeon licenses back in-house.

My bad, I meant for the D&D System. A Pathfinder update to Second Darkness and Legacy of Fire would be most welcome.
I think the additional presence of Starfinder makes this actually *less* likely to happen anymore, especially if the new game does better than expected... enough that they decide to expand the offering.

Adventure Path compilations will continue to be done only extremely rarely. Please see this post for further explanation.

Like I said last March in the thread I linked above:
Reprinting APs will continue to be extremely rare. Not never, but rare enough that you shouldn't plan on any given AP ever being compiled... Nobody is working on another compilation beyond Curse, and nobody will be working on one anytime soon.
This is still where we are.
Just for the record, there is no anniversary involved in the Curse of the Crimson Throne hardcover edition.

wrong, I bought it as a anniversary present for my SO.

OK, I can't argue with that. :)
Got both editions, standard and limited, here. :-)
I 100% plan to get one, BUT I can't justify it to myself until I finish running my present group through Rise of the Runelords :(
and just to make it known: I bought both RotRL:AE as well as CotCT:HE and would absolutely buy a SD hardcover (whatever that edition will be called), LoF not so much
In case anyone's gathering data ...
I got the compiled/updated hardcovers of both RotR and CotCT, plus I bought the PDFs of the compiled versions. (I also have the 3.5 hardcopy versions, but they're on a "back shelf" now.)
Whenever it's possible, I would REALLY like to buy a compiled/updated version of SD (preferably with a slight re-write of certain parts), and one of LoF would not be amiss either. The PDFs are a "must", of course! (Again, I already have the 3.5 hardcopy versions.)
Yeah, I have both hardcover editions. Yes, I'll buy more if you sell them. No, I'm not picky about which one gets the hardcover treatment.

I normally don't like to chime in on these threads when Vic's made it clear what will happen will happen when it happens, if it happens.
That said, I'm in the same boat. Because Paizo.
I hate "new and improved" because it usually means that the box has changed shape or size, or there's a different stink to the product, or that it's now cheaper to manufacture but costs more while tasting more like dirty socks.
But Paizo.
When they revisit and compile their older APs, they get better. James spends so much time revisiting the threads about what made part of the adventures work, and what didn't, and adding new touches and modern classes/monsters/spells that the new and improved versions are... worth it.
So yeah. Paizo.
