[QUOTE="Arilyn, post: 7739777, member: 6816042"] Well, first of all, Paizo isn't trying to compete directly with WOTC, and since the two games fill two niches in the F20 space, this is not a problem. Paizo doesn't exist just to provide a haven for disenchanted WOTC fans. Yes, there have been a ton of books published for PF, and there are fans who state vehemently that they don't want a new edition, but this is common with every F20 edition change. I remember when DnD Next was announced. "Not another edition, we just got 4e!" And yet... EN World is predominately a DnD site, so interest in PF2 will be somewhat muted. Online elsewhere, there seems to be a lot of interest. Having said all this, bringing out new editions always carries risk. PF has been around for 10 years, and is certainly in need of an overhaul. Paizo probably has been monitoring things for the last few years, in order to time things just right. They have proven that they have good business sense, and know what they are doing in the industry. Paizo is not immediately dumping PF1, either. If things go badly, they'll probably be able to go back, like Coca-Cola. It's been my experience that players' love of the new and shiny usually outweigh the reluctance to upgrade to new editions. We'll have to wait and see how it all pans out. [/QUOTE]
