[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 9003549, member: 9053"] You make some good points that I don't know if we have answers to yet. I don't know if magic items will be gamemaster content for instance (in the 4E days, it was not). My take on it is that this is really a move to excise content that's keeping them from removing the OGL license, along with a cleanup. And yes, I do remember the 4E days with having to wait for the PHB 2 to even get the druid, but I don't think this is the same situation. All of the content will be online (and that's where I use it from to run my game, I haven't cracked open my Players Guide but once or twice). I see how you definitely could interpret it as you're saying, Paizo just has some good will with me that I'm going to wait on. I do think having updated books for new players and GMs is going to be a good thing, so going forward that all works. At this point I don't get the same feel for this that I do with what's happening with D&D where I've said I think WotC will be making changes to the system in order to drive adoption of the new. But I have been known to be wrong before so who knows? The impression that I get is that there will be no reason for me to buy new books to keep playing and running. I am sure there will be a bundle or other such thing that I could get the new books in PDF. I don't get the impression that this is "Pathfinder 2 unchained" but again, who knows? [/QUOTE]
