Who plans to still play 1E after 2E?

[GM Nitemare]

Misery loves company, right. I'd like to know how many people on these boards I'd have to game with if I wanted to play 1E in a year or two.

[Isaac Zephyr]

I dunno. I'll probably finish the 2 active games I'm in. Shattered Star and Iron Gods. Even in them though I may suggest some of the Unchained or 2e Action Economy mechanics to make things feel nicer, and ease the transition to 2e.

[WormysQueue]

Well, assuming, 2E will meet my taste, I'm not sure if I'm still starting to run 1E games, but I would certainly not be averse to partake in future 1E games as a player.

But then, I was still running 3.5 games for a while when PF 1E was already a thing, so I wouldn't count it out, especially as there a an awful lot of adventure paths I still want to run.

[Malwing]

It depends on what 2e looks like. If it's as simple as D&D but more options then D&D is dead to me and I'll be playing to work Pathfinders. If it has the same capacity to go as Gonzo as 1e then I have some books to sell. That's assuming it's to my liking but so far it looks pretty promising. If that's the case anyone wanna buy some books?

[DM_aka_Dudemeister]

I will probably play both.

[Greylurker]

Depends on what PF2 looks like. If I can convert my old stuff with a bit of effort and PF2 is actually better I'll probably move forward with and drag my old books kicking and screaming with me.

On the other hand if PF2 is too different for me to convert my old books into it(or is just really bad), I'll stick with PF1

[Hrothgar Rannúlfr]

I'll probably play both...

Our home game is a homebrew of many editions, as it is. PFRPG2E will likely be mined for all that it will offer to enhance our game.

Two of our group have been playing since the 80's and the rest have played since 3.5.

We've got a long running game that is primarily ran under the PF ruleset with other stuff from other editions homebrewed in. It works very well. So, the key question for us regarding PF2E will be concerning how easily it plays with everything else.

Ultimately, as a GM, I have got to love the ruleset in order to make the switch to 2E. Also, the other player that has played since the 80's would have to agree to switch. Without both of us buying in, the switch won't work for the group, since we are the only GMs and if we don't build the characters and prepare the game, the game does not happen.

I do plan to give PF2E a try, though. However, I'm strongly tempted to continue buying all the stuff I still want from PF1E. There are so many adventures and what not that we have not had a chance to play (Strange Aeons and Occult Adventures, for instance).

But, like I said, I've played since the 80's; almost every edition except D&D4E. I don't expect to leave PF2E out as I love Paizo and trust that they will make the game even better, as they did with Pathfinder.

[Lord Mhoram]

Chances are, if I play, it will be 1E. I have lots of material for it, it could last decades.

[Serisan]

Probably playing both, honestly. I have a lot of content to play/run still in 1st ed. I'm interested in seeing where 2nd ed goes.

[Seems]

I'm running two campaigns, one an AP and the other a 4-module campaign. Both will last at least another year and I certainly don't want to bother with conversion. I left D&D for Pathfinder specifically because it offered a stable, ongoing system based on D&D 3.5. I really have no desire to change that.

[CharlieIAm]

It really depends on how 2e ends up. The local gaming circle is big enough that there will probably be both first and second edition games going on; besides Pathfinder there are games of D&D 4e and 5e currently running.

[Dαedαlus]

Depends on how awesome 2.0 is, but at the very least, I'm finishing my current pie campaigns. And if 2.0 streamlines too much/removes what I like, I'll keep playing pie longer.

[nighttree]

At this time....I'm planning on sticking with 1E. I'll look at the playtest....but if the changes are as dramatic as it's sounding like they will be....I'm not interested in 2E.

We still have plenty of AP's we haven't played....so can keep ourselves gaming for at least a few years :P

[blahpers]

Considering it looks like New 'n' Pathy! is a very different game from a mechanical standpoint, it's likely I'll play whichever makes sense for the feel of the game I want to run. Probably 1E unless 2E really makes my day. I suspect it's easier to play 1E with house rules to fix its issues than it is to contort 2E to have the good stuff that no longer exists.

[Charlie D.]

I'm not playing 1E now. 2E might bring me back as a customer though.

[bonebrah]

It depends. If it's easy enough to convert modules to 2e and it's pretty accessible, I will go solely 2e.

The biggest thing is I've only been playing for about a year and I'm deeply invested - like 8gb worth of PDF's (thanks humble bundle, etc). If I can't easily convert things, I'm going to feel obligated to continue playing what I have without dropping everything and starting from scratch again.

[Shady Stranger]

My group is currently playing through RotRL. So I imagine we'll finish that and try PF2e. Definitely intrigued by 2e.

[Samy]

I will definitely be playing 1e at least for the first 2-3 years of 2e. Once 2e starts to have about 75% of the race/class/trait/archetype options that 1e has, I'll start to consider migrating (if the system is good), but that's not going to happen for years still.

[GreyWolfLord]

I do not know. It depends. If I really like 2e though, I would still play P1E if someone was running a game of it. If they are running what sounds to be an interesting campaign, I'd be more than happy to play P1E with anyone who is running an interesting campaign.

[David knott 242]

A lot depends on just when our current Pathfinder campaign ends. If it ends before the official 2.0 rules even come out, we will have little choice but to start our next campaign with the original rules (albeit with the knowledge that these rules are now "complete"). If it ends later, we will have to see what 2.0 options are available (or can cleanly be converted from 1.0) at that time and weigh them against the final state of the 1.0 rules.

[seekerofshadowlight]

I don't play PF 1e now and have not for a few years. But I might give 2e a shot, assuming it move far enough from 3.5 to my liking.

[Stone Dog]

I do not plan to play PF1 after 04/14, my last day of Reign of Winter. Not because of 2nd edition, but I was getting tired of anything d20/3.x flavored. PF2 might coax me back into making good use of the Hell's Rebels books I have after I'm done with Reign of Winter, but otherwise I'm pretty burnt.

This is what happened to me, I simply burnt out on 3.x. 5e got me playing D&D again and I hope PF 2e makes me want to play PF again

[The Thing From Another World]

I will probably play both as well.

[Brew Bird]

I don't really have any plans on quitting 1E any time soon. I don't know what 2E's gonna be like, but I doubt it's going to be able to work for the kinds of 1E campaigns I run right now. I'm certainly going to play 2E, but I think the campaign world I've put so many years of work into is going to have to remain exclusively in 1st edition, and I'm not about to abandon it completely.

[Grey Sage]

I will certainly check out 2e, but will probably only do so in order to pick out the best parts (if there are any) and will then incorporate them into my 1e games.

Reasons for doing so:

1 Really enjoy the 1e/3.5/d20 style of play
2 Have been playing the game since 1974 and do not wish, at this time, to learn a new system (which from everything I have read is what this will be, just old labels slapped onto new mechanics)
3 Have enough 1e/3.5/d20 stuff to last me until my grandson has grandkids... :)
4 There will probably be LOTS of 3 party publishers still doing 1e for years.

[Kalindlara]

I expect I'll be playing both systems for some time to come. Heck, I'd love to bust out some 3.5 stuff. If only it were in Hero Lab...

[Davor Firetusk]

Happy to keep playing 1E for a long time. Even after I used up all my current Pathfinder materials I have a boatload of unused 3.X materials I never got around to using properly and all kinds of 2nd edition goodness worthy of the time to convert.

[Lord Fyre]

My problem is that the more I am hearing about Pathfinder II, the less I am liking it. :(

bare in mind most of what you're hearing is us speculating about the few scraps of info from 2 Blogs and a Podcast.

There are a lot of assumptions going around and very little actual information

Seconded.

[Skeld]

By the time this comes out, I'll be ~2/3 through my CotCT campaign. I have no intention of switching editions in the middle of a campaign, unless PF2e is so amazeballs that we have to switch.

I do fully intend to participate in the playtest because the playtest dates line up pretty good with an intermission adventure I planned to give us a break at the campaign's halfway point.

After we finish CotCt, well probably switch to PF2e, but it will depend on how we like 2e and it's option depth at that point.

Truth! :(

[Charlie Brooks]

I plan to participate in the playtest, provide as much useful feedback as I can, and probably pick up the new Core Rulebook. From there, I'll play whatever edition strikes my fancy the most.

[wraithstrike]

I think I'll always be ready for a 1E game. There are several adventures I haven't had a chance to GM or play.

[Notsonoble]

Depends on the Compatibility License that comes with 2E, except that unless the parents request it themselves, we're not moving the family game. Getting the parents square with 1E was harder than any other new player I've dealt with.

Same here. The new action economy sounds like an anxiety nightmare and makes combat half-again as slow, and the rumours about the way skills will work, if true, would alone guarantee that I never play PF2.

[captain yesterday]

I'm excited for Pathfinder 2, but we'll still use Pathfinder Classic, and Starfinder, of course.

Random, but: Is your profile image Harsk? Because if it is, Harsk has clocked serious CITY MILES since the last time I saw him! :P

[Doggan]

Already selling off my 1E collection, except for CRB, a couple setting books and a couple APs. Will likely finish up the couple APs that haven't been done yet and then focus solely on another system. Unless PF2 blows me away, I'll be looking elsewhere for my gaming.

I believe that is Harsk, but deep (heh) in the grip of the deep one corruption from Horror Adventures. ^_^

[brad2411]

Depends on how they handle 2-weapon fighting and spells. Also i will have all 1e stuff on hero lab at that point.

So far, I have seen only reports of the opposite from actual play experiences (the GaryCon table and the Glass Cannon podcast).

[doomman47]

if I like 2e more ill play 2e if 2e is a flop in my eyes ill play 1e

[LuZeke]

I'm currently running a game that's starting to pick up steam, and after that I have a huge campaign planned that's gonna go from 6th to 20th level. By the time PF2nd is released, I'll still be playing PF1e for a long time because of those alone. Don't see myself abandoning PF1e afterwards either.

[GM Rednal]

I'm likely to keep playing 1E for quite some time. One of the things I like most is the incredible variety of options that 1E has - classes, feats, spells, you name it. Doubly so when the flexibility of some 3PP systems like Spheres are added in. I LIKE having choices and being able to build very diverse characters, especially to certain themes. ^^ A new edition may do that someday - I hope it does, really - but at least at the start, it simply won't have what I'm looking for in a game. And there's really no practical way to change that without a truly absurd CRB.

[CorvusMask]

I'll play both. I'm gonna run first edition modules and APs with first edition plus I have material for 1e I gotta use xD

[GeraintElberion]

I’ll definitely keep playing PF1, whether I play PF2 as well depends on the system.

[Lausth]

İt depends on which edition my friends want to play with me.

[Grakul]

I will wait until they publish the Core books to see what/how they are changing things.

I love the 3.5 style, and find creating characters fun.

Right now the world is filled with rumors. I like to act on facts. I do hope they do not kill skill points, since I'm addicted to them.
