I think the problem with the 2-mode pdf, is that the 'real estate' of the stat blocks is likely going to be very different between editions, and paizo focuses far too much on print to do something like that. I think that the best you might find regarding future content, is a 1st edition supplement for the AP that includes the 'changes' required - possibly not even generated BY Paizo.

Oh, I know, but m group (depending on who shows up) are in the middle of 6 AP, we meet weekly, but I don't expect to start a new AP until about the time Return comes out. I will be getting the last AP, but I suspect I won't be playing it.

I think it will be a number of years before I feel the need to switch wholesale to pf2e - as such, I'm sure the myriad of AP's available for pf1e will serve me well into the future. I will of course be playtesting it, but pf1e is just so 'complete' at this stage.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I have so much existing content that is unplayed, that there really isn't any need to buy into something new.
With my console games (PS4), I skim the PlayStation store once a week to see if there's anything free or deeply discounted that I might want, but I don't spend more than $5-$10 bucks on a game. I recently picked up Metal Gear Solid for free (that's been a fun game), and there's enough available for those prices that I don't need bleeding edge games to be happy (and I'm not spending $60 on a game). Perhaps, if LWD were to offer deep discounts on existing data sets, I might be enticed to pick up a few more. After all, when the beta is released, the demand for PF1 is going to drop and they might try to squeeze the last bit of blood out of those rocks... I'm just not sure I'll care enough that point to spend the money. |

This maybe the AP where they explain how goblins are sometimes "good". Wonder if it does have any world changing events in it. I know they said nothing big was going to happen to Golarion but something is changing I think. The playtest adventure Doomsday Dawn has been confirmed by James Jacobs to be about the 4718 AR Dominion of the Black countdown clocks. That is pretty cool!

The problem is, more than likely 1/3 - 1/2 the cost of PF1E content is paid to Paizo as licensing. So if they discount it deeply, they won't make much money.

Really I think LW has kept their costs down and profit margin down too low over the years. They should have been raising the cost every year and the coming of HLO was a perfect time to double or triple the cost of HLO data sets. That could have allowed them to remove the subscription price all together (maybe). I can only speak for myself but I would rather spend more money per data set than the monthly subscription as I can't see the $2.50 a month really doing much to help LW. Based on the extra $30 bucks a year/person LW is getting just seems easier to increase cost of each Package instead to get more money. Because the servers have to stay on anyway and disk space has to be used no matter if a person is paying the subscription cost or not. If I stop paying a year from now LW still has to keep my characters on disk because I could restart the subscription back up at any time. Hell how much disk space is being used by "demo" accounts. Without knowing all of LW costs/expenses know way to know if this would work financially. But for myself it feels like a better deal. I know. Wonder if it will be really a doozy or something that is only a doozy if you know every abstract Golarion piece of lore.
