[QUOTE="Bluenose, post: 4846342, member: 49017"] 1. I'd expect 6-8 years is more likely, perhaps towards the top end. 2. PFRPG can be stable at the True20/M&M level. If it starts to do a lot better, showing that there really is a large market of people who want to buy the 3.x rulebooks or a very close variant thereof, it's got a problem. Anyone who wants to can publish the 3.x rulebooks themselves. It's one thing being the only game that keeps 3.x in print, it's another when Mongoose can put out their Pocket PHB with optional character advancement rules, or another company can do something similar. Games that can claim to be significantly different fill a separate niche, but keeping 3.x alive is something anyone with access to the SRD can do. 3/4. With the various variant games, I'd expect the community to be overall larger but more fragmented. I see no reason for GR to stop supporting M&M, for Mongoose to leave Conan, etc. [/QUOTE]
