Adventure path change seems overall like a win, though it might be time to drop the "path" moniker. It's really just a big adventure at this point, no? Especially since pretty much everything will be hard cover now. The name "Pathfinder" is recognizable as its own thing; you don't need the name "adventure path" around. Overall, this seems like a great opportunity to simplify your branding.

to me I think Adventure Path is still a valid, reasonable way to refer to them in order to actually differentiate them from standalone adventures. There's still a meaningful difference in my mind because an AP is much longer, goes for a longer level range and has more going on. Plus the level ranges are more fixed. Whereas the Standalone's can in theory be at any level. And when it comes down to it, APs are pre-made campaigns that just are meant to last a long time. There's enough difference in my view to justify a unique name.

This was a super fun story. I absolutely want to know everything about Pakelia.

From what I hear, the reason they're not going with Owlcat is that Owlcat has been entirely unwilling to write games in PF2, and they want stuff in the new system. It's really that simple.

I've heard that too, but I'mhoping it's at least partially exagerrated, at least in as much as Paizo is open to letting Owlcat continue to make games with 1e. I don't blame Owlcat for not wanting to move to 2e after spending so long getting 1e working. I'd love Paizo to get some 2e games off the ground because I like the system more, but I'd love to live in a world where we get both.

I'm choosing not to read into Owlcat's next project being 40K since it's good from a creative and business standpoint for them to branch out and not be too bound to Pathfinder. Plus I only heard about this BKOM thing because Owlcat quote retweeted the announcement, so it seems like the relationship is still friendly. Hopefully in a couple years we'll be hearing about Owlcat's next Pathfinder game.
