Please "favorite" your preferred terminology in the posts below, or post your own if you don't like any of those posted.

[RumpinRufus]

P1E and P2E

[RumpinRufus]

PF1e and PF2e

[RumpinRufus]

1E and 2E

[RumpinRufus]

PF1 and PF2

[Dasrak]

PF1E and PF2E is what I've been going with so far, with upper case instead of the lower case you went with. I'm not particularly worried about standardized abbreviation, since in context they all are pretty obvious. I know what you're talking about, you know what I'm talking about, and that's what's important.

[GreyWolfLord]

P1E and PF2e

[LuZeke]

PF1e and PF2nd, because I'm obtuse like that.

[Morgen]

I toss my hat in for not using abbreviations at all! Pathfinder and Pathfinder: Second Edition. D:

[captain yesterday]

Pathfinder 2 and Pathfinder Classic (full disclosure, I did not come up with that).

[pixierose]

P1E because it looks like internet vernacular for Pie. And because it's quicker.

[Wei Ji the Learner]

1.0 and 2.0 (with an optional PF in there to prevent confusion with other systems)

I appreciate the comments, but you didn't actually vote!

[seekerofshadowlight]

PF 1e & PF 2e, seems to make the most sense

[Planpanther]

PF1 and PF2 is what im sticking with. "E" is what is used for D&D.

oops sorry. I did it now ^.^

[TheFlyingPhoton]

D&D 3.75
and
D&D 3.75.5

[Samy]

1e and 2e when there is no AD&D in the context.

If the discussion also involves AD&D, then 3.P and PF2.

If there turns out to be a reasonable degree of compatibility, the latter could be 3.P2.

[DM_aka_Dudemeister]

PF1E
PF2E

[Black Dow]

Started off with PF1E and PF2E, then switched up to P1E and P2E as they gained momentum.

Nae really worried either way as both work, but PF1E & PF2E would be my preference.

[scary harpy]

P1E & P2

[W E Ray]

PF (why change the name; it's always been PF)

PF2 (it's the most accurate, be accurate)

[Erik Mona]

Speaking just for myself, I'm gearing toward PF1 and PF2. The lowercase "e" is superfluous, as the number denotes the edition.

PF1 is more useful to specify between editions, i.e. "they did this so much better in PF1." If Pathfinder First Edition is called simply PF, it loses function as a catch-all abbreviation for the game in general, its world, the culture and customs associated with it, etc.

Anyway, just my two cents.

[Wei Ji the Learner]

So in essence there is a hierarchy?

PF (All Things Pathfinder)

PF1 (Pathfinder First Edition)

PF2 (Pathfinder Second Edition)

I could get behind that.

Is pathfinder so long that we NEED an abbreviation? Maybe pathfinder classic and new pathfinder. ;)

[Kerrilyn]

PF1 and PF2 is easy to type. And I like the idea that "PF" covers the whole thing and PF1/2 are like..sub-folders. Yay!

Or we could go the Microsoft Route. Pathfinder 2009 and Pathfinder 2019? Or like Starbound, Pathfinder Irritated Koala and Pathfinder Cheerful Giraffe?

D&D ( 3.5 + 2i )^e

[CactusUnicorn]

D&D 3.5.5 and D&D 3.5.5.5

[Garfaulk Sharpstone]

PF1 ad PF2 or just P1 and P2, though I think I use P1e and P2e the most

[RumpinRufus]

PF1 and PF2 are the clear winners!

I've changed my vote in solidarity.

You heard it here first folks! Just kidding. I am cautiously optimistic for PF2.

[Gary Bush]

I like PF1.0 and PF2.0.

[Eryx_UK]

PF1 and PF2. Simples.

[graystone]

010100000100011000110001 and 010100000100011000110010

[Porridge]

I’d vote for P1 and P2 myself.

The fewer characters the better!

[Bardarok]

Advanced Pathfinder (AP) :)
