Wanted to thank the 17 people who took the time to respond to the questionnaire. Not sure if it would change now, as I'm not sure how recent the last few entries have been, but it's 100% unanimous that you want a Pathfinder 1e written adventure. I admit I did not see that coming. Thought there'd be at least 1 or 2 people wanting 5e.

I mean, this is on the PF1e Paizo Forums. If you'd posted on the PF2e Forums you'd probably get a consensus of PF2e campaign requests.

Oh, I've posted this elsewhere on other forums too (namely EN World), and lot of people on this thread has said they've moved to 5e. Not a whole lot of buzz compared to other people's questionnaires, admittedly, but still. Comparatively, those ones had way more 5e clicks, some PF2, and almost no PF1. It was kind of crazy.

That's not surprising, honestly. It's kind of sad to see PF1e become divisive.

I just realized how absolutely strangely Paizo's formatting is right now. It's quoting, but incorrectly. Both of our responses are mostly just our own previous reply. Like in my response right now, there are four /quotes, but our names only come up three times. I think I fixed it though.

It is unfortunate that Pathfinder is divisive right now. Hopefully once more PF2 books come out, there'll be a better sense of balance. Edition wars have always been troublesome.

Didn't want to start my own thread, as it doesn't seem quite necessary, but would love if everyone here could fill it out. Wanting to see if there's any desire/want for pre-written adventures, especially for Pathfinder 1e.

Have a questionnaire waiting over here on Google forms. Your participation is very much appreciated.

The thought process with some publishers is that no one wants them, so they're not being made. If there's no one wanting them, that's okay. At least we'll know. Once I get enough responses for a "yes", I can discuss further what the premise would be. That would be its own thread so as to not derail this one.

Thank you in advance.

I am happy to announce that PDG's very first 5e book that converts the races found in the Porphyra Roleplaying Game to 5e, is now available.

Inside Races of Porphyra 5e, you'll find write-ups on the anpur, dragonblood, erkunae, eventual, orcam, and the zendiqi human. In addition, there's also the Porphyra orc, as well as the ilurielian elf and stone dwarf subraces, and two racial feats.

If there's interest, we're looking to do a second volume for the lesser known races of Porphyra. As well, I'd like to bring other elements over, such as new classes and subclasses, and even monsters.

Hrm, Monster Codex managed to completely (?) avoid ties to Golarion. Still, the book becomes less useful for GMs who already reinterpreted the given monsters or don't want them in their campaign world.

Yes, for the most part the Monster Codex was self contained. I was referring more to the Revisited and (races) of Golarion books.

Definitely doable. Just be a matter of which monsters that’d get that treatment.

And it definitely sucks, but I was really hoping Dreamscarred Press wouldn’t suddenly disappear. I was liking their deep dive into a version of Savage Species. A friend was the lead writer for it too. Would have been nice to see it continue.

Secondly, out of these options, which would you most prefer to see another book of?

1) Bestiary
2) Book containing new races
3) Base class, archetype, and prestige class book
4) Mix of 2 and 3

I'd prefer 3), but the class(es) would really have to hit the right spot to be interesting.

When it comes to monsters, IMO more depth to existing monsters is more interesting than adding even more of them. Some of my favourite Paizo books are Monster Codex, Classic Monsters Revisited and Demons Revisited.

Same goes for races. We have like 60 races from Paizo alone - there are few things not covered yet. I prefer focused books like Gnomes of Golarion.

#3 Would definitely be a mix, not unlike a core book, and I'm not entirely sure what classes would be in there. I know two would hybrids.

The Revisited books have definitely been an interesting read. The only problem I can see with making monster (and eve race) focused books would be that for it to really work, it'd need to be written in a Campaign Setting style, which might not mesh well with a GM's home world. Something to definitely consider and bring forward though. It shall be noted.

It would depend on what the individual races and classes are.

That's fair. Publisher is debating on what book would best to put out given the current economy so I said I'd go ask. We've got a few individual race books that are about 1/3 completed, a few classes (including a revised ranger) and PrC ideas, as well as some monsters from older edition 3PP books that we'd like to see converted (plus a bunch of original beastie ideas).

Firstly, I want to thank those who took the time to participate in the adventure questionnaire I posted earlier.

I highly recommend Midgard.

I would also recommend Midgard. I’ve used many of the monster books to influence my games.

I love Pathfinder 1E, but an adventure would have to be very special at this point for me to be interested in buying. My shelf (and virtual shelf) is full of Pathfinder 1E adventures - many I will never have time to get to playing.

That’s fair. I’m not all that different myself. Definitely trying to gauge what would and wouldn’t be worth everyone’s time.

Is there another product you’d prefer seeing?

Sorry pal, lost interest after about three questions. I want more PF1 adventures. If you write them, they will come...

EDIT: it is worth noting I do not so surveys, still want adventures though.

I guess I could remove a few of the questions. My survey is about 1/2 as long as the surveys other writers have put out asking for every excruciating detail. One survey even boasts that it’ll be the greatest D&D adventure of all time because of all the responses and dozens of questions.

If you could, DM me when you get the chance and give me the basic rundown on what you’d like to see for the adventure (ie. level range [one-shot, full module, AP], good/evil/neutral PC campaign, how you’d prefer them to meet [bar, random, hired, etc], open world sandbox or somewhat linear story, etc.).

EDIT: I removed a few of the questions to get closer to the meat of the topic.

I'm curious to read the reviews.
