Each cabalist binds with an animus like pyre, storms, portents, or wisdom, and this mystical communion shapes their eldritch power, sometimes even changing their casting tradition, with animus blessings and bonus spells, familiar adaptations, and taboos. Includes over 150 options here including nearly 50 class feats like Bizarre Weaponry, Chant, Secret Lesson, Animus Wellspring, and Toil and Trouble, general feats like Familiar Inspiration and Mystic Animal Tattoo, and spells like ice tomb, silverlight, and blood mantis clutch. Also include complete rules for nearly 20 familiars, from common toads and spiders to oozes, imps, tomes of teeth, and broomstick mimics.

When Frog God says an adventure is for "Pathfinder", do they mean first or second edition? They're very different as I'm sure most people reading this realize, and the Noble Knight site the links go to is completely unhelpful on this point.
 




I can understand why they wouldn't support PF2E, but if they ever start to then I will have reason to start collecting Frog God stuff again.

You and I were talking about the change Pulp makes to classic Call of Cthulhu. Learning Pathfinder 2E would require learning a whole new game really which I mentioned does happen sometimes with new editions. Plus, for a publisher, changing all the stat block formatting and rules knowledge whoever writes and edits for you has. It would be a massive undertaking to switch from PF 1E to PF 2E I'd think from a rules writing and editing point of view.

I guess it doesn't hurt to ask? On their Discord I'm one of the only PF2 players (to my knowledge). Maybe if they see more interest from fans, they'll consider it.
Watching some of their behind the scenes videos, it seems like their writers will write in one system (5e, PF1, or Swords and Wizardry), then the product will get conversion by their staff to the other two systems.

Completely agree (thus why I can understand why they wouldn't do it). Frog God has always felt more like a group designing for what they like than for what is current, so that also weighs in a bit. Unfortunately I really love Pathfinder 2E so I can always hope someone will provide support. I am hoping, for example, Raging Swan Press eventually converts more of its modules. But the process is tricky for PF2E as it's not an easy system to do straight conversions on....and some other 3PP who tried did so with mixed results so far.

That is interesting to know....I don't really know of any venues to communicate with FFG (I pretty much rely on ENWorld for all my gaming news and info these days) but it's good to know I'm not the only one who wishes this would happen.

True, they didn't publish for 4E (back when it was Necromancer Games).
Maybe it would work for them to see about sanctioning fan conversion documents to PF2?
