Only if it fails. Hasn't broken my heart yet.Level Up is literally a 5e heartbreaker.
It had a near million kickstarter with over 6 thousand on the kickstarter alone.Level Up is literally a 5e heartbreaker.
Keith Baker going PF2 would be really, really good for expanding their audience. Only Ed Greenwood would make bigger waves in that regard. WotC needs to be sending Ed some Doordash and roses right about now.

It is designed to be compatible with 5e, and uses base rules that are very similar in most respects. You can explicitly use it in conjunction with WotC materials with little or no problem.Level Up isn't 5e, that's the whole point.
That requires knowing who those people are on sight. Want to spell it out?Take note of the others involved in it& what they have listed in their twitter profile.

Oooh Essence20 is a much better system than D&D.
I am the person who has played Phoenix: Dawn Command! Ran one-shots of it at cons 2-3 times. It is brilliant.Right here is the problem.
Eberron has a lot of fans. And a lot of people like Keith Baker.
Yet when he developed his own game, it ... well, how many people heard of it? And of those people, how many played it? Honestly, I bet that Phoenix Command (the 1986 RPG) has a much higher name recognition in the community as a whole simply because it's kind of a punchline.
What worries me about this is that we have a lot of people yelling to burn it all down. Well, cool. I think that there is this unstated belief that if we just burn it (D&D) all down, then somehow everyone will start playing all these other games. But ... where is the evidence of that?
TTRPGs has always been a discretionary hobby. Maybe people are happy with it going back to being a much smaller hobby. Maybe this 5e period will be looked back upon like the 1979-84 period. I don't know.
Who knows. Maybe there is a large market out there that just can't wait to play PF2e, and the FiTD games, and all the indie games and one pagers that our hobby has ... and they've just been waiting, pining, for the Death Star of D&D to get destroyed by the Rebellion in order to play! Or maybe not.
If I was Baker, I would release a rules-agnostic setting, or a generic (but D&D compatible) setting that he has control over. But I'm not.
I like Eberron a lot, but I agree with this. Eberron is pretty well-covered, across various editions.Man, do the new thing. Wizards or no Wizards. Always do the new thing, it'll be better than the old thing.

No, is an extension. An after market mod. A rewrite.LevelUp is 5e, that is its whole point.
It is still 5e IMO. And that was how development team view it as well. So I will take their belief more than yours.No, is an extension. An after market mod. A rewrite.
Yes, then it seems your view is, if it's standing on 5e base, it's 5e.It is still 5e IMO. And that was how development team view it as well. So I will take their belief more than yours.
I mean my home game changes more than LevelUp does and it is still 5e.
A second robust Pathfinder setting would be a gift. A bit off topic, but one of the things I enjoy most about PF2 as a player is how it codifies in rules things for which dungeon masters have been relying on fiat for decades. It's neat to see every niggling character design choice carry mechanical weight.Honestly my brother and I were discussing how our major sticking point with PF2 was that it was locked to Golarion, in that we'd have to make up our own Ancestries/Heritages/etc. (which is doable but a lot of work, especially to balance) to play it elsewhere, so maybe Keith could look at doing a PF2 setting, or at least a setting which had a PF2 adaption among others.
