It is not likely to happen, but I am curious how folks feel. With the 5E SRD in play, it seems possible for Paizo to convert an old AP to 5E rules. Would you purchase such a thing?

With the poll options I tried to cover a few ways Paizo might go about doing so. if I missed one, show us your special snowflakery.

No. I'd rather buy new stuff than remakes of old stuff. I'd certainly buy a new 5E AP from Paizo, though I don't imagine they'd make one.

This. I have the old ones and it would be easy to convert. I don't want rehashed material.

However, I'm going to be ending my subscription soon as I no longer play Pathfinder. If they released a new AP using 5e, I'd strongly consider purchasing or subscribing to it.

Depends on which AP we're talking.

I don't think Paizo has any interest, but I could image them dipping their toe in with a single short module converted perhaps. As for doing a full AP, only if demand is there and its economically feasible, which I don't think it really is right now.

That said, there is little stopping a fan from converting RotRL or something to 5e now, save art, maps and a few proper nouns. It'd be a heck of an effort, but possible.

Yeah, I'd probably prefer something new and preferably short. Not a big fan of massive APs.

Considering that even when I ran their APs with Pathfinder I felt the need to adjust various parts of the story and mechanics, I have zero interest in Paizo converting to 5th edition for me since I'd likely still have to adjust things similarly - I'd rather do the conversion myself.

If the story was interesting to me or others at my table, yes

And right there is the bottom line.

Also the reason my answer is probably "no."

Depends on what one. I have not played most of them though so they would in effect be new.
