[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7362334, member: 29398"] PF has a big enough market share now to independently support a new edition, unlike when PF1 came out as a brand new thing trying to build off 3.x D&D. My guess is there'll be a dip in 5e sales on PF2's release but it'll be just that - a temporary dip while PF2 claims the sales crown for a quarter or two. Just about any system has pilfer-worthy ideas to add to any other system; I expect PF2 will continue this. Comparing PF2 to Starfinder isn't quite a fair comparison. Starfinder, while somewhat based off PF1's system, is a new thing; and still trying to establish itself. We won't really be able to assess its relative level of success for another decade or so. That, and space or sci-fi based RPGs have never sold as well as fantasy-based RPGs, the best attempts of the various Star Wars RPG iterations notwithstanding. [/QUOTE]
