[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9076577, member: 2209"] I think this is a big one. Pathfinder 1e is OGL D&D 3.75. Everyone who did 3e and 3.5 had the core d20 system down and Pathfinder 1e is just small tweaks throughout the system with so much of the core Pathfinder 1e easily accessible for free online through the PFSRD. Adventure design is the same and monsters and magic and feats and magic items are very compatible requiring only a slight tweak to go from a concept in one system to the other. I used plenty of 3.0, 3.5, d20 Modern, Pathfinder 1e, and other 3e OGL based variant d20 systems together all the time in that era. I have a bunch of PF2 stuff from various bundles but I just have not put in the time to learn the new system. It is its own thing. And the encounter and adventure design has a different baseline premise so it would not as work well to just do the same types of things in PF2 with only some system mechanics translations the way that worked seamlessly in going from 3.5 to PF1e. On top of that throw in OGL 5e which is mostly a simpler system that is easier to pick up and learn and super popular and the adventure design baseline seems fairly compatible with 3.5 and I see why a number of publishers chose to not go with PF2e. I see that [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/4049/Frog-God-Games?page=1&sort=4a&affiliate_id=17596']Frog God Games[/URL] for example does most things in 5e, Pathfinder 1e, and Swords & Wizardry versions now. [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/3730/Legendary-Games?affiliate_id=17596']Legendary Games[/URL] is one of the bigger 3pp companies that includes regular PF2e content now. They usually do their big monster books in three versions, 5e, PF2e, and PF1e now. [/QUOTE]
