The problem is it's not 2009 and there are two major differences:1. Paizo had nearly the complete 3.5 core game in its SRD. KP has a far smaller slice of "official" stuff to work with and has to invent a lot more to augment it.2. WotC isn't making an edition that is as divergent in its changes as 4e was. The gap of changes between 5e and 1D is so far much smaller than it was between 3e an 4e.So the Paizo trick of "take the SRD, fix some mechanical issues and flavor with your house seasoning" isn't going to work the same way. Their system, by necessity and by choice, is as far removed from 5e as OneD&D will be. Their biggest draws will be for people who like KP's specific expression of a mechanic (luck vs inspiration, talents vs feats) or people who hold a grudge against WotC but still want to upgrade from 5e.</blockquote>
