Paizo to reprint older OGL material for PFRPG?

[Triga]

Any one know any news on weather Paizo is going to reprint some of the older OGL stuff, like the chronicles books, in PFRPG format?

I was just looking over some of that old stuff but hesitated to buy any because I am not sue if they have plans to do this.

I don't think so...most people who already bought the stuff would most probably not by the converted stuff...it is much cheaper to convert it yourself. Plus, those books are mostly fluff anyway.
And also, it doesn't seem like a good salesman move from paizo if they did that. They could earn more money by giving out new books then refluffing and reprinting old material with new rules.

Sorry.

isn't really necessary although it would be kind of neat to see hollows last hope to hungry are the dead re done I'n one volume.

One of the staff I'n a thread on maps explained why only certain products get re printed it was really informative but I forget which thread it was.

Basically, Paizo is too busy putting out new material to go back and print updated versions of OGL stuff. Which is all well and dandy, because they wouldn't make very much off reprinted old material.

However if it's updated stats you're looking for, d20pfsrd.com has several conversions, ready for use with the PF rules. Almost everything else in the modules is usable as-is, especially if you run it about a level lower.

The old stuff is written by the same writers that write the current Paizo material right?

Yeah, but there's no point in re-writing Classic Monsters Revisited or Guide to Absalom when both include maybe 1 or 2 rules and the rest is fluff.

A fair bit of the older rules material issued by Paizo is slowly being converted to the Pathfinder RPG over at http://www.d20pfsrd.com/ following the official conversion guidelines. So if you want to use some of the material in the older books, much of it has been converted, or will be converted given time.

The reason I ask about the writers is because of the similarities between 3.* and Pathfinder, I might just try to run the old stuff with Pathfinder rules, and I wanted to make sure I would be buying the same level of quality that I see in the new stuff coming from Paizo.

There are a lot of the same faces among the 3.5 freelancers and the 3.P ones. The 3.P group is slightly larger though as Paizo has expanded and snagged a wider base of writers.

Thats what i did with CotCT.. figure out CMB/CMD on the fly and up the number of mooks slightly, and you should be fine.
