Pathfinder 2E Is it time for a new Pathfinder Setting?

[dave2008]

I do not think a new setting from Paizo would be particularly helpful. It would not encourage me to make the move to the new edition. They need to get their mojo back with their AP design most importantly. If new campaigns of similar quality to, for example, Curse of the Crimson Throne were coming out for PF2, I'd find it much harder to ignore. All the second edition APs have left me entirely indifferent to date.

Well, with a new setting would come new APs - maybe that would also kickstart some better APs

That's true, but I guess I do not have a lot of faith in the company to put out particularly interesting content atm, settings included. And I say this as a huge fan of Paizo, historically speaking.

You'd think that, but part of the reason Paizo sticks to Golarion is they dont have the resources to support multiple settings, let alone multiple AP lines.

I didnt like how PF2 shaped up, so I cancelled my AP sub and havent paid attention since. I'm not liking the sound of this...

I dunno, Strength of Thousands looks interesting.

I'm excited about Abomination Vaults, but I hope in general they continue making shorter adventure paths so they can reach more playstyles and interests.

There team is significantly larger than the D&D team at WotC, so it doesn't seem like it would be impossible.

There is way more to it than that. Look, Lisa and team are pretty damn good at what they do. If they could pop out another setting and support the way it deserves, they would be doing it.

Possibly. It is also possible that they could do another setting, but don't think it makes financial sense. They could also be wrong about what constitutes "support the way it deserves." Or they could mistaken and are wasting resources on more bestiaries or feat design when I new setting when be much more financially and creatively lucrative. Or the could be doing everything perfectly. We don't know and my question isn't really about that.

My real questions is: de we (the fans) want more settings for PF2e?

PS - Lisa isn't part of team anymore is she? I thought she stepped down.

As a fan then, I'd ask what Golarion doesn't have? As nice as an all pirate, undead, dragon, psionic, etc setting would be, I dont think any system but D&D can do that.

Looking at my Inner Sea guide I'm wondering if they got around to that other continent folks always talked about?

Uh, they can at least give me a Galt sourcebook first.
