Getting back to the original topic of trends and financials.

All products have a life cycle. There comes a point in that cycle when sales will decline and profits for those products will dwindle.

I would say that PF is in the decline stage.

The RPG gaming market is different than when PF came on the stage. PF was the answer to the discontent with DnD 4.

Paizo has always provided great content and a steady stream of adventure material. The subscription base is a testament to that. Paizo has always served the DnD market, but the market has changed. There isn't the same discontent with DnD 5 that there was with DnD 4. In fact it DnD 5's popularity is what is hurting PF.

So why doesn't Paizo cater to the DnD market they way they used to ? Wouldn't APs for DnD 5 sell the way that they have sold for PF and DnD 3.5 ? Golarion is more developed than the settings currently available for DnD 5 from WotC. Stay with the strength of the company, and capitalize on the popularity of DnD 5.

If the answer is that they can't support DnD 5 and PF then why did they release SF ? SF is selling well and it is a separate game system.

I see two of the 17 PFS sessions are full, 4 of them have room for one player and two have room for two players.

Check out the Fantasy Grounds virtual game convention this weekend. There are 10 PF games scheduled, some of them are PFS scenarios. ( 27+ games in total)

The convention is free and if the GM has an Ultimate FG license you can play in the game without needing to purchase anything.

We are up to over 27 sessions scheduled but there is still room.

There are 10 PF sessions scheduled and some are PF Society scenarios.

Update:

There are now 27+ sessions scheduled. 10 Pathfinder sessions ( some of the Pathfinder sessions are PF Society scenarios and you can can get a PFS Chronicle sheet for playing ).

The community of Fantasy Grounds 2 users is putting on a virtual global gaming convention.

The basic idea is for experienced GMs/users of Fantasy Grounds 2 Virtual Table Top to host one shot rpg adventures during the weekend of July 20-22, the same way that role playing games are played at such real world conventions like GenCon. The majority of GMs hosting games have an Ultimate license, meaning that no software purchase is required to play in the majority of sessions. We are hoping to show off the functionality of FG2 to new users, and have a fun weekend of gaming.

We currently have 23 game sessions scheduled over the weekend using rule sets including D&D, lots of Pathfinder, Rolemaster, BRP, Mutants & Masterminds, Savage Worlds, The One Ring, Castles & Crusades, and Dresden Files (Fate). This is a global convention so there are games scheduled around the clock.

Come to a convention without leaving the comfort of your own home ! For free !
