Pathfinder 1E Is there ever going to be a Pathfinder-compatible release of Iron Heroes, Fantasy Concepts or Trailblazer?

[VelvetViolet]

Iron Heroes is a variant rulebook designed to put more focus on the martial classes and less on magic to solve problems. Fantasy Concepts is a variant rulebook designed to replicate the functionality of the SAGA rules, simplifying many rules and providing more flexibility in terms of building characters. Trailblazer is a variant rulebook designed to better balance the classes with regard to one another and to simplify many rules, such as overhauling the monster statblocks.

However, none of them are technically Pathfinder-compatible because they predate it. Does anyone know if the developers plan to release Pathfinder-compatible editions or if any 3rd-parties are planning to use the open game content and make their own Pathfinder-compatible substitutes?

I'm not sure how this would work in regard to Iron Heroes; they weren't really 3.5-compatible either. I suppose you could shift the...I don't know, the undercarriage of the rules, spinning them off of PF rather than 3.5, but that seems like a lot of effort for dubious return, since the point of the exercise would be to recreate Iron Heroes.

From what I recall of Trailblazer, it was, at least in part, an intentional alternative to the PF playtest rules.

Fantasy Concepts sounds vaguely familiar but not something I own.

The closest I've heard for Iron Heroes is the upcoming Path of War... which is Pathfinder Book of Nine Swords. So not quite the same thing, but it's from Dreamscarred so it should be good.

All three are variant rules sets, though. I'd be surprised to see anything like an official update.

Cheers!
