[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 6353125, member: 957"] It will be very interesting to see. There are a lot of people deeply invested in Paizo/PF. Some love the setting and APs, some just really love the core system, so are dedicated to Paizo as a company and the stances they take on things both gaming and outside of gaming. But PF is 5 years old and built on a core three times that age. So between people moving out of the hobby and being replaced with younger blood, and people just being ready for something new, there is plenty of room for it to go either way. I think it will come down to 5E. The core game by RAW seems to have a split between people who love it as-is and people who see potential but want to mod it. (obviously some have no interest as well, but all-in-all it has a very solid start in positive interest). So, is the fraction that loves it as-is big enough alone? I doubt it. But will the game actually work with a lot of mods to support enough of those people so that they play (and spend) on it (whether as a go-to or one of many games). Right now, I think it will. I think it is going to succeed well enough to push Paizo into some new strategy. (though they are ahead of that in their product diversity already) But I could be wrong. When the new shiny is worn off and the DMG tool box has been put through the wringer, we will see. Ask again in 30 months. If 5E becomes the standard for the community, then it will lock in at #1, even if they produce a lot less product. After all, if some people are only playing 5E, then their spend on other system will drop.... We will see. I'm hopeful. Though part of the reason I'm hopeful is because a robust modability will be what I need for their next tier in better games. And I always want to best. [/QUOTE]
