From the Mouth of the Frog God:
The next issue, Pathfinder material from Frog God Games, has been mentioned a number of times, it is best summarized and presented in the comment by KS backer Wise1 (scroll down to read it). Here is the best answer we can give right now.
There will be no immediate Pathfinder version of City of Brass from Frog God Games. For all the reasons stated in the post by Mike Badolato below, our decision is based on the annual sales trends in the Pathfinder market for about 2 years now, it was not based on the PF 2.0 announcement at all (though we were as surprised as everyone else about it). Pathfinder 2.0 might very well become a popular and viable system and if it does Frog God Games will support it enthusiastically, including converting books like the City of Brass and Rappan Athuk to the system. Until we have certainty of that we just cannot take the business risks involved. The opportunity cost presented for any PF content immense. We just cannot expend the production resources (or the physical printing costs) on the very small number of units we predict will sell for us.
But....
Frog God Games is very aware that we exist as a company thanks to the genius decision to create Pathfinder by Paizo, Inc. as well as the many fans, friends, and customers bought, played and extolled the releases that made us known and successful in a difficult industry. These releases supported, especially early on, share one thing which tied connected them to each other- the Lost Lands Campaign Setting.
After listening to longtime customer comments on Kickstarter, social media, email, and, for a few of you, Bill's mobile phone; we have made a preliminary decision to make sure you get the Pathfinder specific material for the Lost Lands, likely in a PDF, PoD, or softcover companion book. We, as a company, feel we owe you, our long-time Pathfinder customers, this release. Thus, as of last night, Bill and I started the process to make this happen with the Lost Lands Bible material from Greg. That is all we can say about this now, except thank you for your support and we hope you understand why we had to make the difficult decision to shift resources away from Pathfinder for awhile at least.
