[QUOTE="teitan, post: 7876709, member: 3457"] See, I think you are feeling my comment is that P2 will overtake D&D again. I am not saying that. I am saying it will be a slow burn as the pocket editions finish out and more material come out more Pathfinder players will start to convert to the supported game and it will become a hit in that way. You keep implying I think it will overtake D&D while it has also been asserted that no other RPG could impact D&D's marketshare when it has happened twice and everyone always comes back to the "it can't happen" but it has. I am not saying it is going to be Pathfinder 2 that overtakes it, I am saying that as D&D 5e starts to dwindle that more people will move to other games and Paizo has a reputation for great products that will scoop up some of those players. It won't overtake D&D, hell when that happens we will probably see a refresh akin to AD&D 2e revised when sales start to show signs of he slippery slope and re-invigorate the game. But the common thread is that P2 is ranked 5000 on Amazon and how this is some sort of disaster for Paizo. It's not. Nowhere am I saying it will overtake D&D just that D&D will eventually reach market saturation and people will look for other games. It's a stupid argument unless WOTC screws the pooch but I think they've learned their lesson and have the backing of Hasbro to deliver quality. It's just how markets work. At one time Warner Bros was a juggernaut... now they have a hard time getting a hit that isn't "Batman". [/QUOTE]
