The 5E SRD is definitely on our radar.

Yay! I've already entered in all the spells. It'll be interesting to see how my approach differs from the official format.

What I'm most excited about is having the monsters in RW.

Any chance of doing Labyrinth Lord or OSRIC? OSR games are pretty popular with my group.

I've heard that Steve Jackson Games isn't always the easiest to work with, but I'd definitely buy GURPS 4th edition if it were available on RW.

One bit of advice, make sure you pester those other publishers, not just LWD. Paizo and LWD obviously already have a solid working relationship to which build on to leverage RW. But, if you pester those other publishers, like Wizards, to get off their duffs and make the effort, you may just get a surprise!

I am lucky, I am invested in PF for the long haul, but I always hope everyone else gets what they want too, the more RW sales the better for us all!

Alot has changed since 2013 though. Specifically the market share which is sliding back towards D&D.

1995 2nd Edition (revised)
2000 3rd edition
2003 3.5
2008 4th
2010 Essentials
2014 5th edition

As a result I have 2 sea trunks full of obsolete material, as each rule set is incompatible with previous iterations.

By contrast Pathfinder has had one rule set since 2009 and is backward compatible with all 3.5 material......that is 13 years worth of usable material for pathfinder and 2 years of material for 5E. Also you can expect 6E within another 3 years.

As a result of all this I left D&D in 2008 and never looked back.

To be fair to Wizards and Hasbro (Not that I like Hasbro what so ever), it started with TSR, they just kept the same "makem pay" mentality.
