[QUOTE="JThursby, post: 8438421, member: 7025596"] I know this is a little off topic, but I think regarding Paizo and Wotc as direct competition where one is going to eat the other's lunch is a common but mostly untrue sentiment. Interest in the hobby of tabletop games is increased when there are more participants in it, so any game doing good is good for all games. When Wotc fumbled 4e Paizo was just one of many companies that was using the OGL to publish third party content; it didn't rise because Wotc was falling, it was simply the only third party publishing company in a good enough position to continue publishing material, the rest just folded. I have a close fondness for Pathfinder 1e as much as the next grognard, but it wasn't leading a tabletop renaissance, it was keeping a hobby in danger of going extinct on life support by maintaining interest in an established (if decently revised) system. Of course, I like Paizo better than Wotc for a multitude of reasons, but as a GM who needs players interested in a game I have a vested interest in Wotc not screwing up; if they do well it means I get to play the game I want to play more. Good to hear. The PF2e community has already made a lot of useful and powerful tools. If your service can exceed the high bar set by the community, or even better, have easy integration with them (Foundry's PF2e system in particular would be awesome) then consider me interested.
