Create a book of 5e feats based off combining some Pathfinder Feats?  Convert all those pathfinder classes to new 5e Archtypes?   That’s a lot of potential money Piazo is just sitting onLet’s just look at a Bestiary, They have the art (Which commonly the largest part of a project budget) and word count… conversion will take a fraction of the time it took to create it all… the project was paid for and made a profit… with a few hundred books sold directly at conventions the project would be 100% paid off and all additional sales (pdf or otherwise) would be pure profit. There is no reason why they could not do both… support their own game, and off handedly gain sales from the 5e crowd who like their story telling.   Here is the kicker, and they can’t stop someone else from getting the monsters from their SRD and converting them all to the 5e OGL…   so they minus well do it themselves.</blockquote>
