[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7590982, member: 37579"] I just pulled a number from my head as an example. $5 per book or $20 for everything sounds reasonable...What they could do is task people to update the APs and then compile the monsters from those into a physical monster book after a few months of updates. The PF2 core rulebook is out the door. That's done. I imagine they're finalising the [i]Bestiary[/i] next.But here's the thing: they could do both.They'd almost certainly need to rely on 5e freelancers for the job. As the in-house staff knows squat about 5e. So while the internal staff do PF2, and army of freelancers converts. It would need an internal editing pass and in-house layout. But they have more than enough staff.But is the brand the rules? Or the world and the story?If the Pathfinder brand is the game mechanics, that's weak as it's literally a copy of another game.If it's the world and NPCs and factions and iconics then a 5e update that sells like the warehouse is on fire.... that strengthens the brand.How?Do you think there is a strong audience overlap between the potential audience of PF2 and 5e?
