Can you elaborate on what books you have?The amount of 3PP support I have, in print, on my game shelves right now for Pathfinder 2E is more than I did after the first three years of D&D 5E, so it seems ahead to me.

It’s a Pathfinder 2nd Edition thread.When did Primeval Thule and Tome of Beasts come out?
Ultramodern5 was 2016 wasn’t it? And Frog God? Adventures in Middle Earth was 2016 too wasn’t it?
Am I miss remembering? I’m a little ill at home at the moment.
Wasn’t the thread about adventures?
It might not be significant, but I think it also helps that DriveThruRPG has an affiliate program that encourages the people who use it to link back to their store, whereas I don't think Paizo and the Open Gaming Store do. So if someone's asking about more downtime activities for Pathfinder 2E, I'm going to direct them to, say, Rogue Genius Games's Files for Everybody: Downtime Hobbies over on DriveThruRPG rather than on Paizo (though, on looking, it doesn't seem to be there anyway) because it potentially benefits me to do so via that being an affiliate link.This is what I've heard it comes down to. A lot of 3PP are no longer putting their stuff up on Paizo due to the cut that Paizo takes. DriveThruRPG and Open Gaming Store seem to offer much better terms.
I have to agree with this. I pioneered the "scratch-off the serial numbers" method with the Book of the River Nations that other Pathfinder compatible publishers used, but there was so much more we couldn't do that we wanted to do. We wanted to make side quest adventures, details about specific locations, etc. None of that happened because we felt that the amount we'd have to scratch out to make it generic enough to work license-wise would make it so generic that no one would know what we were referencing. Ultimately, we did monsters, assassins, and rules reprinting with our own additions.For me, the frustrating thing with 3pp work is not being able to use Golarion lore in any way, shape or form. When I write an adventure, I'd like to have a robust setting behind it, with gods, nations, ethnic groups and so on. Instead you have to either make it super generic, or else do up a robust setting yourself to use as reference.
wow, that is a lot of games with community content options!All these guys.

I'm not sure what you consider 3PP support, but 5e 3PP quickly ramped up right after they updated the OGL and then even more when DMsGuild. Both of those came out in 2016. Until that time it wasn't really possible to make 3PP 5e content. PF2e had the benefit of OGL support from the beginning. Regardless, I am pretty sure if you have more 3PP for PF2e than 5e, it is personal issue. Not a market one.The amount of 3PP support I have, in print, on my game shelves right now for Pathfinder 2E is more than I did after the first three years of D&D 5E, so it seems ahead to me.
