[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 8952888, member: 9053"] I think there is a lot of wishful thinking on both ends of the spectrum. There are clearly a lot of people looking at Pathfinder at the moment from the OGL issue but also from word of mouth. Clearly some of these people are going to like the game and keep playing. That's helped tremendously by the Foundry VTT and Beginner's Box module, which are excellent. And the Abomination Vaults gives them a full campaign to go and do next. So I don't really get anyone who says "meh, interest in it is just a fad." Yes, much of that interest is going to be that, but many people are going to like PF2 because it gives them the kind of game that they want and that 5E does not. There's been a lot of people saying that and to be fair I am one of them (although I am also playing a 5E game, so I continue to be a gaming Daywalker). Pathfinder may not be the game for people talking "fad" like this, but to deny that it does things that people wanting more crunch or customization in their game are looking for is just silly. And on the other hand, anyone who is saying PF2 is going to supplant 5E (or 6E for that matter) are also certainly mistaken. It would take another monumental gaming mistake or somehow returning to the ideas that caused the OGL problem in the first place for anything like that to happen. Honestly I haven't seen a lot of those comments, but I'm sure there are some people like this out there. So yeah, it's a good time to be Paizo, but I wouldn't buy that Paizo Goblin yacht quite yet.
