<p>The good news: 3 part campaigns seem to be popular in Pathfinder 2e, so maybe that will bleed over to Starfinder.</p>
<p>The bad news: They are only putting out Starfinder AP modules every other month, so a 3 part AP will now take half a year to do, and there will only be half as many AP modules as there used to be in any given period of time.</p>For 3 part Starfinder campaigns, it looks like we have good news and bad news.

<p>They have stopped again bringing out high-level stuff, so I'm withholding my money again. I think it's pretty easy to easy to figure out how to get me to spend money on the game again, even if I have never played a Starfinder game (still GM'ing first edition Pathfinder) and have some concerns about its identity being too diffuse. Bring out some high-level stuff again and I'll find a place to put the books.</p>Milo v3 wrote:magnuskn wrote: Currently not buying any AP's, but that is more to do with the fact that I'm running out of space to put them and that SF AP's again don't go to high level.

These 3- part APs have shown that you can switch and swap different parts of different APs together and still have satisfying arcs and stories. At the end of the day it's about the players, and less about the (loosely framed) narrative in these books, which rarely build on previous Npcs or locations.</p>I feel like individual volumes of APs are relatively standalone.
