Given the awesome success of Savage Pathfinder, and the good feelings and win-win-win synergy it engenders, I wonder if Paizo might replicate that "easy money" by teaming up with other RPG companies that have done enormous Kickstarters.
Such as Monte Cook Games, since at $4M, their Numenera videogame was one of the largest Kickstarters ever. A Pathfinder Cypher System Kickstarter would convert the key Pathfinder classes/ancestries/spells/etc to Cypher, along with the world of Golarion, and at least one Adventure Path. Even though it's not PF2, it builds the Pathfinder/Golarion "culture" and player network.
What other systems/companies could be a fruitful team-up for Paizo? There are several metrics. Even if the game doesn't have huge fanbase in terms of, say, active campaigns on Fantasy Grounds or Roll20, if the game has a track-record of supporting large and successful Kickstarters, then it could be a fruitful venture for Paizo. For example, the Classic RuneQuest Kickstarter raised $200K, which isn't pocket change. Imagine a Pathfinder RuneQuest? Or a Pathfinder Old-School Essentials ($490K in two recent Kickstarters)? Or...
Unlike D&D/Hasbro, which for scale reasons, can't/won't collaborate like this, this sort of team-up could even become a specialty of Paizo. Imagine if by 2030, we'd seen twelve Kickstarters for converting Pathfinder/Golarion to twelve different RPG systems?
