Title: Standard page count for a module
Post by: JackFS4 on March 20, 2023, 11:32:26 AM
Is there an industry standard for adventure module size?  I've seen references to 32 page or 26 page.  My guess is that set page counts come to us from the print days where publisher were looking to print whole signatures: sort of like how children's books are 24, 32, or 48 pages.

I haven't paid much attention to my published pdfs on DTRPG, but as I get closer to wanting to put something in actual print, should I be looking for a set page count or just make sure I'm ending on a multiple of 8?

Old TSR modules were 32 pages. Because of how a big sheet of paper cuts up into little sheets: 2-4-8-16-32-64. This is no longer an issue with POD printing afaict.
