Matt seems to have taken a lot from 4E even having only played it for one session with the group before converting to Pathfinder long term. The world-building and cosmology of Exandria is almost copy and paste from 4E points of light and the World Axis. So I doubt any of that would change. If they'd stuck with Pathfinder, then it's quite likely that Paizo would be the 800 lbs gorilla in the room rather than D&D. Likely they'd switch spots, income wise. Not sure how the cast would react to the issues that have been revealed about Paizo over the years. Nor the critters. Likely they'd have either spun off their own game from Pathfinder or switched to 5E at some point when the Paizo stuff was coming out. Spinning off their own game would likely be the result. Custom build for them and their table and the ways they like to play. If they'd done that, then CR would be the 800 lbs gorilla in the room. Or things would fracture and you'd see a lot more indie games in a lot better positions. Maybe the OSR would be the dominant player. Who knows?</blockquote>
