[QUOTE="Dungeonosophy, post: 8923549, member: 6688049"] Good question. Yes, in the future I'm portraying, there could very well be a Microscope-Pathfinder conversion. A tiny-tiny RPG company (Lame Mage Productions) co-operating with a big RPG company (Paizo). Because I'm proposing an economically feasible way of supporting all of the "species" in the Open-allied ecosystem. I haven't played or read Microscope, but looking at some explanatory webpages about it...
