"2–4 session games" (RESOLVED)

Restored and cited a detail about the designed length of Pathfinder Adventure products. I'm not sure what to do about this being contested because the information is direct from Paizo:

If you're looking for exciting and expertly crafted adventures to add to your gaming rotation, the Pathfinder Adventure line has you covered! Each 64-page Pathfinder Adventure presents a short, but challenging adventure designed for 2-4 session games within the world of the Pathfinder campaign setting. A Pathfinder Adventure can be run as a one-shot adventure or woven into any on-going Pathfinder campaign.

If Paizo's incorrect about this, we should cite an equally qualified source explaining the conflict. -Oznogon (talk) 19:22, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

A long time ago there used to be 32-page PF1e Modules, but now the subscription page has indeed been incorrect for years, dating back to when it was named the PF1e Modules subscription. A 2019 blog post affirms that Fall of Plaguestone takes "around 40 hours". Player Core says a session is "a few hours", and GM Core pg. 10 (formerly CRB pg. 489) says "A typical game session lasts about 4 hours", just like Pathfinder Society has said for a decade that a typical session is about 4 hours. Paizo's proper estimate "around 40 hours" for a 64-page 3-level Adventure is irreconcilable with claiming "2-4 sessions"―and moreover, this article's History section already cites a blog post stating that Pathfinder Adventures' page count has since doubled to 128 pages. The product line used to present short adventures; since that time, Adventures have lengthened, so we shouldn't continue to make an old false claim. Descriptivist (talk) 01:39, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Thanks! That's what I was looking for. -Oznogon (talk) 04:19, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
