Blandness being chief. Pf2 means I can get a 'D&D-esque' experience and attract 'D&D' players without having to run 5e. Paizo has enough name recognition that many players will say 'oh yeah, Pathfinder's the D&D knockoff game right? I'll give it a try.' That's more than good enough.As long as Paizo is in business and producing this stuff, which as far as I'm concerned is top notch and full of interesting options, what they're doing can easily be defined as successful. They're not a publicly traded company. They can do whatever they please, which in creative endeavors, is great for people with niche tastes. No need for an 'essentials', though as I said earlier, an 'unearthed arcana' -- in the old sense of the word, not bewildering web articles -- would be neat.If they go out of business because of Pf2 then that would be sad, but from a selfish perspective, at least I got to stay in the hobby a few more years, since the number of Mage and Exalted players still around is more or less nill.Was it? If the thread had been titled 'let's spitball solutions to things I don't like about Pf2' that would have been much more fun and probably quite productive. Instead we got a question-begging 'is it time for essentials', which has more flamebait packed inside it than a carton of cordite.</blockquote>
