Message: <blockquote data-quote="Erik Mona" data-source="post: 3812170" data-attributes="member: 2174">As Ken and Josh have helpfully pointed out, it would have been very helpful if the OP in this thread had posted the CONTEXT of my message, which was that someone said they could not possibly imagine a scenario in which Paizo would stick with 3.5. Because it is my job to assume all possible scenarios, I laid out an unlikely series of events that would lead to 3.5 support of some kind after the release of the new rules.As I said in my original "rant" and I have said several times since, the default assumption is that we will convert Pathfinder and all of our other OGL stuff to 4.0-compatible material as soon as we can, ideally around the launch of 4.0.Wizards has been quite helpful about this, even if it is obviously (and rightly) not their top priority right now.Again: I have every expectation that we will convert, and that the new game will allow us to do the things we want to do with our line (and probably lots of things we haven't even thought of yet).In the 3.0 transition era, most of the publishers who were able to publish 3.0-compatible material and help to transition the audience had playtest copies of the rules early enough so that they understood the broad assumptions of the new game well enough to be able to put out product at the time of the transition.The window of opportunity for that is starting to close for third-party publishers, and it's very frustrating. That said, I STILL expect that we'll be able to have 4.0 stuff out at the point of transition. And that, as they say, is that.--Erik</blockquote>
