And I do suspect that we'll start building our own options; we already are, in fact, in several of our current products. I fully expect that in the PFRPG adventures we'll publish, we'll be using content from open 3.0 and 3.5 content just as we are now, in other words. The adventures will not be restricted to what's in the PF RPG. There's a LOT of existing open 3rd edition content that's great, and the main goal of the PFRPG is to keep that content viable so it can still be used. That goes for publishers as well as gamers.We will indeed be producing more rules content books, but on a MUCH slower pace than what came out for 3.5. If we DO, for example, make a samurai or a ninja or a berserker class or prestige class, that might make the older incarnation obsolete... but only if the GM likes the new version better than the old version. I doubt we'll ever match (or even come close to) the amount of prestige classes and similar options that were created for 3.5.Actually... the bulk of what we'll be producing each month will remain adventures and sourcebooks, NOT rules supplements. Adventures (and in particular, Adventure Paths) is what we do best, and what makes us the most money, after all. As I indicate above, compatibility with 3.5 lets US use the old content as well as the customer, and that lessens the need to rush out new versions of samurais and ninjas and pirate prestige classes and so on and so on.</blockquote>
