[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 6804608, member: 6785785"] I've already incorporated Golarion into my 5E campaign, too. I am not averse to using material from either company, or both. I do think that there are fans that are averse to it, though. I think that's very clear. Is it a significant portion? No way to know for sure, not unless this actually happened. However, I think that perception would be something the Paizo folks would keep in mind. It's likely the least concerning of the factors I listed, though. But I think it also comes into play as a question of resources. I do believe that there are Pathfinder fans who absolutely will not try 5E. So does Paizo risk making a product that some of its fans would not even consider purchasing? And since you narrowed our hypothetical product down to an existing adventure path...how many people who already owned and played the AP would buy a 5E conversion? I mean, you're using an existing AP yourself and converting on the fly. Maybe you'd welcome a version that was already converted for you, but I also think there'd be plenty of folks who were fine with saving the money and continuing to do conversions themselves. So in a general way, I think the fan perception certainly plays a part. But less so that other factors, and it's not always easy to draw a clear line between factors. [/QUOTE]
