[QUOTE="Kinak, post: 6184536, member: 6694112"] To answer the question of the thread, of course Pathfinder is going to slow down. But, I don't foresee that happening anytime soon. As someone mentioned upthread, the APs are Paizo's real bread and butter. The rules line, although doing quite well, largely exists to support the APs. You can see that by the timing of rule books' releases, Mythic Adventures being a recent example, and the leisurely pace at which they've added new rules material after getting the groundwork in. The real question moving forward is "when will Pathfinder level out?" There will be a point where it stops growing. At that point, we can start seriously asking when it'll start declining. It's not just going to be soaring one day and falling off a cliff the next. Venturing into anecdotes, my group is more excited about Mythic Adventures and the Advanced Class Guide than any of the rule books between the core book and now. And I, as GM, am more excited about Bestiary 4 than any of the previous bestiaries. So, although it's satisfying to predict doom on the frontrunner, that's certainly not the only narrative you can fit to the facts. The better fit is probably the less exciting "Pathfinder continues to grow and do well, but that's not an excuse to get cocky." Cheers! Kinak [/QUOTE]
