I just saw mention of a very interesting development: Pinnacle Entertainment announced that they will be launching a Kickstarter in January for an official conversion of the "Rise of the Runelords" adventure path to the Savage Worlds RPG.
Pinnicle Entertainment: Pathfinder for Savage Worlds
I think this is pretty cool! To be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of Savage Worlds as an RPG, but I think it's really interesting to see Paizo licensing its IP to other companies for use in other game systems.
I, for one, would like to see a conversion of the "War for the Crown" AP for Green Ronin's Blue Rose RPG. With its focus on interpersonal relationships and political intrigue, I think Blue Rose as a game system would be a much better fit for the core storyline than Pathfinder.
There's a free preview of the Savage Worlds PF Paladin now available. ;)

I wasn't initially blown away, but on further reading I am really impressed. Most of the new Class packages look like they will be really fun to play - and the Prestige edges... just WOW! The bestiary is also pretty formidable and will be a massive boon to any fantasy RPG, whether it's set in Golarion or any other fantasy RPG setting (coughWorldsGreatestRpgcough).
My IRL gaming group is committed to D&D5e until early 2022, but I'm considering trying a solo playtest of another AP using the PF4SW rules.

As much as I love Starfinder and Pathfinder 2E sepcially the depth of options, I'm really impressed with the simplicity of the Savage Worlds' core rules. What I'm really curious to see is how/if years from now Pathfinder for Savage Worlds might have an influence on Paizo's developer.
