[QUOTE="Jadeite, post: 8928623, member: 14462"] They were the biggest 3PP for PF1 and had many (for that time) successful Kickstarters for that game (Deep Magic or Southlands were originally kickstarted Pathfinder supllements). They even did a quarterly physical magazine for many years (it started out as 3.5, but moved to Pathfinder). They were one of the few PFRPG 3PPs whose content was used for Paizo products. But with 5E's release, Pathfinder started to lose players and once WotC released the SRD for fifth edition, many publishers, including Kobold Press, switched their releases to that system. They kept supporting PF1 for a while, but didn't switch to PF2 once it got released. PF2 worked out well enough for Paizo, but didn't reach the amount of players to become interesting for 3PPs. That might also be due Paizo having a far bigger release schedule than WotC (about 2 books per month), leaving less room for 3PP supplement. But on the other hands, Paizo's Open Content policy allows other publishers to build upon their released. I guess we will see an influx of 3PP PF2 releases, currently most people switching seem to be occupied with buying up the Paizo Rulebooks. But with Kobold Press' Black Flag plans, I'm not expecting them to switch to PF2 anytime soon. [/QUOTE]
