[QUOTE="jodyjohnson, post: 6330950, member: 5590"] Similar boat, I've been accumulating Paizo APs for a while and have all but Kingmaker. But I don't play Pathfinder rules. 5e is my chance to run the backlog. Likely for years or even potentially the entire 5.0e run. [I]How difficult will it be to convert Pathfinder adventures to D&D 5e?[/I] I expect it to be fairly straight forward to run rough plot-based conversions of the modules, ignoring PF specific mechanics. [I]Will there be enough interest in the community to help with this so each of us doesn't have to do our own conversion?[/I] While the community may help, personally I'll be converting on the fly with the MM handy or with a quick and dirty monster conversion (just notes probably). Cleaning it up for sharing isn't going to happen. [I]Would Paizo ever consider making such conversions available to widen the appeal of their setting/adventure products?[/I] I doubt Paizo will officially do anything, they are borderline keeping the current APs on schedule. However, they won't censor conversions on their boards. They allow 4e conversions. [I]Will Pathfinder respond to the appeal of D&D 5e to those wanting a simpler/easier system to run by offering their own Pathfinder-lite option?[/I] Pathfinder-lite is pretty much an oxymoron. The appeal of PF as a ruleset is the option heavy aspect. Although fan house rule packages or third-party products may fit the bill. Is there a 3.5 lite now beyond E6 or E8? I think I'd take a stab at creating 5e versions of the new PF classes and those in the PF splats. [I]Will Wizards start releasing adventures that rival the quality of Paizo's adventures?[/I] This is subjective, but I expect yes. Especially if they start using the same writers and companies writing PF adventures. 5e and PF are much closer for story adventure building than 4e Encounter-based design. However, I already have 6+ years worth of APs to run, being as good as what I have yet to run won't force me to buy WotC. I'm not a completionist. (Not including the nostalgic runs through BECMI, 1e, and 2e adventures). However, I may still pick them up since 2x$30 (or less via Amazon) nets me a 5e 1st-15th campaign and ongoing PF APs are running about $22 x 6 on subscription including shipping. For each PF AP I skip I can buy the year's worth of 5e not including running the Expeditions adventures for free. [/QUOTE]
