PATHFINDER UNCHAINED at GAMA?

It's not available for over a month yet, but Paizo developer Jason Bulmahn is - along with most of the tabletop gaming industry - at the GAMA trade show in Las Vegas, and appears to have a finished copy of Pathfinder Unchained. This is Paizo's "experimental" book - it's Unearthed Arcana, if you will, although many people prefer to label it as a "Pathfinder 2 Testbed" (not that there's any hint that such a thing exists). "Within these pages, the designers of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game unleash their wildest ideas, and nothing is safe. From totally revised fundamentals like core classes and monster design to brand-new systems for expanding the way you play, this book offers fresh ideas while still blending with the existing system." Due April 29th. Or right now, if you find Jason Bulmahn in Las Vegas.

If 5e had more character class options, it would be a great alternative to Pathfinder.

If 5E had an OGL, it would be very easy to add more options to it. As long as it lacks an OGL, I personally won't take it seriously, play it, or write for it.

They got it there but not spoiling what's in it!? Lame

Maybe this could be an ongoing series for EN5ider - converting Pathfinder classes to 5E classes and subclasses. Sadly, I know the basics of 5E, but am not conversant enough to do good conversions. Don't think it would be that hard once you know 5E well. The 5E class framework is quite robust, which makes adding to it much easier. If you know both Pathfinder and 5E, consider it a challenge!

And don't make too big an affair of it being a conversion in the article itself. Games may steal from one another, but shouldn't brag about it.
