[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6505445, member: 22424"] Can't see it happening. I don't think Paizo have the bandwidth to do 5e materials as well as Pathfinder, so this would involve dropping their own game for someone else's. But if they did that, they would be back in a position where the entire survival of their company was in someone else's hands - if, five years down the line, WotC decided to take the license back, Paizo would have nowhere left to go. As I understand it, "Tyranny of Dragons" was playtested fairly extensively by people outside the WotC/Kobold Press teams. And Paizo do send out most of their 'big' books for testing - with their huge monthly schedule it's not practical for them to do the same for [i]everything[/i]. This remains to be seen. A lot of the big problems with 3.5e took some considerably time to come to light. 5e hasn't had that time, nor indeed anything close to it. That's not to say 5e [i]isn't[/i] better - just that we can't actually make that judgement yet. Again, I don't think they have the bandwidth. What they can do, though, is give their blessing to fan-made conversions on their messageboards. [/QUOTE]
