[QUOTE="wakedown, post: 7812373, member: 15901"] It will be tough. I'm in reach of 3 metro regions with a combined population of 21M where there used to be a thriving PFS community with over 500 players each month on a Saturday gameday. Now the stores aren't even interested in hosting and there's probably only 16 unique players playing both SFS+PFS2E in a given month. And those 16 loyalists are more interested in/playing more SFS than PFS2E. It's a competitive market to try to make noise as a secondary fantasy TTRPG and I'd think quality would be pretty critical for that next slot. Paizo's quality really has dropped a lot in the past few years. The CRB desperately needed another week of editing ~ the degree of typos and grammar issues is pretty crazy. The game is really Bulmahn's and the setting is really Jacob's more than anything else. Unlike say Monte Cook Games (where the owner is Monte himself, so you have the principal pouring his soul into something he majority owns), it will be hard for Paizo to retain them without significant ownership stakes. Ultimately the second place fantasy TTRPG in today's world will be the labor of love of a talented veteran who also owns the brand he's working for. [/QUOTE]
