[QUOTE="Jacob Lewis, post: 7560366, member: 6667921"] Pathfinder has held its own by its own merits, not just as an alternative for D&D fans who can't get what they want out of current editions. 1e has been around for about 10 years now, and supported by a continous stream of new options and splatbooks that rivals any edition or era or D&D to date. Whether that is good or bad is a matter of opinion. But after ten years, I think Paizo believes they have taken the system as far as it can; farther than anyone else could, one could argue. New base classes, core rules expanding every major theme, and so much more. Somewhere deep in their forums and announcements (and don't think I am going to locate every relevant link for anybody), it has been stated that the new edition has been in the works for years as a natural evolution, not a response to percieved success or failure anywhere. It is simply the right time. Fact is, there is plenty of 1e material to fill a lifetime or two of adventure gaming. And they have stated they will continue to print these older products as long as there is demand for it. And there will likely be conversion guides either way, along with fan conversions. Right now may not be the best time to discuss it, however. The open playtest saw a lot of changes in response to string feedback, and I suspect the final product may be much different than what we have seen. We don`t know what we will end up with or how fans will respond. But I do know this: Paizo has proven themselves repeatedly, and rarely disappoints. And there are still plenty of fans who are ready for something other than D&D 5e or PF 1e. Maybe they will hit the sweet spot in between. That remains to be seen. Here's hoping! ;) [/QUOTE]
