[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7779166, member: 6802378"] The RPGs have got two parts: crunch and fluff. Fluff has got a constante value because the lore and background can be later, for example in a adaptation for comic, novel or videogame. But many times sourcebooks of fluff are only to be read a couple of times, and now internet and wikis of videogames, series and comics offer a lot of free fluff. If there is too many crunch, the value is lower, and it can be created by 3rd party publishers. And players don't want to buy again the same books only to have an updated version of the crunch. And any fluff isn't ready for new crunch as new classes with a special game mechanic (for example the vestige pact magic). Pathfinder has future, or at least Golarion as franchise or IP, a too enough value to not be forgotten. * I would love sourcebooks with 5th Ed D&D version of monsters, races and classes by Pathfinder, but I don't need stats for nPCs. * D20 system has still a failure to be the ultimate universal RPG system. I give this the name "Cobretti effect". In the movie "Cobra" Brigitte Nielsen's character was unarmed and she couldn't face night slasher, only to hide and run away like in a survival horror, but Sylvester Stallone with enough weapons could kill all the cult of the new dawn. In the modern settings with firearms the monsters or enemies are too powerful or too weak if PCs have got (enough) weapons and ammo and this needs a right adjustment of XPs reward and challenge rating value. My suggestion is to publish a d20 Modern 2.0. with more abilities scores: Courage, Grace (karma/fate/luck), Astuteness and Des would be Agility (Reflex) and Technique (crafting, arts, dance, pre-learnt actions, maneuvers of martial arts..).
