Homebrew and House Rules


Pathfinder, is a widespread and mainstream system with a variety of great adventure paths and an extremely bulky and slow rules system that is hard to learn and quite slow to run encounters

Savage Worlds, is a swiftly emerging system growing in popularity that is famous for being easy to learn, easy to GM for, favors improvisation and eschews redundant mechanics for reskinnable trappings

i thought of an idea, based on many people i have seen in my local area, because lots of people are "going savage" and because a lot of Paizo's APs have great stories once you trim the fat. what if Paizo made a Deal with Pinnacle Entertainment to write up conversions of their pathfinder Golarion and Adventure Path lines for Savage Worlds?

the benefits include, Paizo being able to gain some share of the profit off the savage worlds audience through their Adventure paths, the fact that the conversions are probably cheaper to make because they require nowhere near as much wordcount, a fraction of the page count, and don't really need any new mechanics pinnacle hasn't already provided, the fact that Paizo can trim off a lot of the fat that is primarily designed to pad XP and wealth totals, trim off major magic items that do little more than add static bonuses for the D20 system scaling, and paizo can draw from already existing mechanics for most of their stuff besides the occasional new hindrance or professional edge
