Pathfinder 1e AP Conversions to 2e


Pathfinder Second Edition General Discussion


I know this has already been done officially with Kingmaker, but does anyone know if Paizo has any plans to officially release other conversions? I've been playing the Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous video game and it's been causing me to wanna run the ttrpg for my players, and while we could always learn 1e we'd prefer to stay in 2e

There's an entirel forum devoted to PF2 conversions

Pathfinder>Second Edition>Conversions

There are also 12 PF2 Adventure Paths in print (ranging from 3-6 parts) and 8 PF2 Adventures that will give you years of gaming material before you need to start converting PF1 products.

You can also use the 21 Bounties or any of the 4 One-Shots.

That has nothing to do with OPs question, Dancing Wind

As for the question itself: there is afaik No Statement regarding any Kind of conversation of old APs
In most cases it will probably never happen
.that said, pf2 is notibly easier to GM and converting stuff is relatively easy


As Dancing Wind mentioned, there are a number of fans who are working on their own conversions to PF2, but your results may vary (even I'm working on a conversion for funsies). I know that the Series of Dice Based Events Discord is working on a WotR conversion, so you might be able to find something there.

I imagine there's a ton of work that would go into that since there's a full mythic system to recreate along with troop management and the like.

You can find some full conversions for adventure paths on Pathfinder Infinite, although they are not official. I got the one for Return of the Runelords and it was quite well done.


From the previous thread, Which 1e APs Have Been Converted To 2e, James Jacobs made it pretty clear that there weren't going to be any further conversions of 1e material

Thanks!

Anyone knows why there aren't anymore?
It sounds like an easy sale, and easy to do?
Could someone ask a Paizo staffer (perhaps Mr. Jacobs)?

Converting an Adventure Path into a hardcover compilation is either a standardly difficult task (if it's a recent one that doesn't require significant edition revision, doesn't need any narrative surgery, and isn't being expanded with new content—see "Abomination Vaults" and "Fist of the Ruby Phoenix" for examples), or an incredibly difficult task (if it's one that's being updated from a previous edition, needs narrative surgery, and adds new content—see "Rise of the Runelords," "Curse of the Crimson Throne," and "Kingmaker").

We haven't done any more 1st edition to 2nd edition Adventure Path conversions because we simply lack the resources to do so at this time. (We kinda lacked those resources for "Kingmaker" too; as evidenced by it being 2 years late)

And yeah, the actual work of converting from 1st to 2nd if you're doing it for your homebrew game is pretty easy... but converting it professionally and incorperating years of player feedback and innevitably adding in new content to make it more attractive to customers? That's approaching rulebook-level work... but for a team of one, rather than a team of several.

Later in the thread, staff suggest that Kickstarter crowdfunding might be the way they go in the future.

So if OP wants an "official" PF2 version, he's going to be waiting a long, long time. The other official adventures might tide him over until then.
