First of all, they tap the 5e content market with a product that should at the very minimum return the investment, which after all, is only the conversion, printing, and marketing costs. The development of the product (content) itself is already done and has been a proven seller for Paizo. That is why they are also printing a hardcover of it for 2e as well.There is more than that though. In my area and from what others have told me in their areas, we see a good number of 5e players moving over to 2e. They like 2e's rules and character development. This could also be a way to showcase Paizo content to that 5e market and get more of them to take a look at 2e which could then translate into additional sales of 2e product. Nothing wrong with that at all.On top of all of that is the move by WotC to a new edition of D&D (5.5 or 6?) in a flat-out cash grab based on the 50th anniversary of the game in 2024. Will that be successful? Is it necessary? Could it result in some 5e players taking a look at other systems instead? All these questions and more will be answered soon enough!</blockquote>
