We could be seeing a a PF3e or PF1.5 in the near future if PF2e fails to get adopted as I'm pretty sure is going to happen. |

That's why you don't do vendor lock-in in the first place.
The past is a rudder to guide us, not an anchor to hold us back. |

I am an admitted module queen, and I use RW for those modules. Since LWD no longer supports it, I'm stuck with what they left behind with no improvements down the road. But, it's still an excellent tool for homebrews as well as module queens like me. It beats having multiple pieces of paper with notes scribbled out.
As for subscription-based programs, forget it. I don't have a lot of money to throw away on subscriptions, and I'm not always at a location where I have internet. I want to load the program on my computer and use it wherever I am whether I have internet access or not. |

From what I've seen and heard in gaming stores near me, PF2 definitely isn't struggling here. It seems a lot of groups have already made the switch, particularly those with GMs or players who are also PF Society members. I've tried it and have mixed feelings, there are things I like and things I don't. The one PF game I'm in is staying with PF1 for now but everyone is interested in giving PF2 a try sometime. The same group resisted moving from D&D 3.5 to PF1 until they gave it a try.

I know PFS has been driving sales for Paizo but, IMO, it has been poisonous for tabletop role playing. It has put the idea into many player's heads that the goal is to break the game and that access to almost everything ever published should be available in a campaign. I've had probably 20 PFS players come through my home game in the last 4 years (we've been trying to get a 6th player for some time) and all have been unhappy with the limits on player options I have as well as my absolute ban on attempts to over power the other players. my Realm Works videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZU...4DwXXkvmBXQ9Yw |

For me it's a matter of "it's gotta stop somewhere." I honestly have no idea whether or not I'd like PF2. I'm not going to find out. I spent a TON of money on D&D, then on AD&D, then on 3 and 3.5. When PF1 came out I waited, then bought in with the self-imposed caveat that this would be the last d20 game I'd invest in. And now I've got all of the HLC content for PF1.
And I like it. Complications and flaws and all, I like it. And at my age, there's more than enough material already published to last the rest of my natural life. Add the multi-genre systems - Savage Worlds, HERO, FATE - to the mix, and I'm set for life. I'll not spend another dime on new game systems. I like what I've seen of HLO and Campaign Theater, and if LW would incorporate any of the systems I play into HLO (which I guess would be PF1, SW or FATE, as HERO System has it's own character generator) I'd happily lay out $$ for that service. But as is? They're not selling anything I want to spend my money on right now. |

The worst thing about PF(1) is that I've been buying PDFs rather than physical books, so the true scale of how many books I own is hidden - rather than being visible on bookshelves.
