5e Pathfinder?

[lazar]

Any chance of any of the Pathfinder series being released in 5e format now that the OGL is official? I love 5e but miss the complexity of the Pathfinder modules.

[captain yesterday]

Not a chance.

What the captain said. Paizo has a very full schedule just producing content for their own game.

Why do you need official conversions? 5e as a system is much simpler to run than Pathfinder, enough where simply doing your own conversions isn't that difficult of a matter.

Our DM says it takes 2 or 3 hours to convert 1/6 of an AP.

1/6 of an AP issue, or 1 issue out of 6 APs.

Considering each AP has a running time of well over 100 hours, that's not too bad when it comes to conversion time.

[SmiloDan]

1 issue out 6.

And since 5th Ed is so much quicker than PF, we're doing RotRL in about 20 four hour sessions. Supposedly, we're just 1 or 2 sessions away from the finale.

FWIW, I do my conversions on the fly. I dont think I would tackle Iron Gods simply because it is so different. The rest I can either find something in the MM that is close enough stat wise or just take the relevant DC/AC value x .75 and call it good enough. Sure there are always exceptions but that works often enough I can keep the game moving.

Solomani already converted Iron Gods to 5e

[Juda de Kerioth]

you dont need an official conversion. do it as you play, and if you dont find something you always can choose from dmg to escalate your monsters into 5e easily

Glad someone did. Is his work available somewhere?

I found running Shattered Star #1 in 5e easy & smooth; the only major issue was when it was some obscure PF monster with no stats & I had no idea what it was supposed to do. Just going by the listed CR seems easiest way to make sure from-scratch stats work out, but usually I can take something from the MM, eg Reefclaw = giant scorpion with no poison sting; carrion golem = flesh golem.

However running Shards of Sin in 3-hour sessions took us 11 sessions! Running all of Crimson Throne in PF took 34 sessions, the early books were 4 sessions each. Not sure 5e runs any faster than PF.

I feel like the APs are unpredictable when it comes to length of play. I've had books take a variable amount of time. Some of them leave open ended sandbox play while others are tightly curated experiences. I have players that take any loose threads and address them, or try to, so it really changes the time frame from AP to AP.
