There have been quite a good many decisions that needed to be made concerning the direction of JBE for the next few months. Yesterday, I decided that we needed a company-wide meeting to resolve them. That happened this morning. Here are the results:
- Focus on Fifth Edition, Traveller, and 13th Age for the next few months. This is to clear out the backlog of stuff we wanted to publish last year but didn’t because official Pathfinder support is ending. We have plans to continue supporting these games after the backlog is complete. We discussed adventures for Traveller and 5e, ships and monsters for Traveller, subclasses and more for 5e, and a PHB2-like print book for 13th Age.
- No final decision on Pathfinder 2e support. We are waiting to see the final rules and license before making a determination on that front.
- Continued support of Pathfinder 1e. That is right, JBE will continue with PFRPG 1e. We do not have anything ready to go immediately so do not expect to see anything from us before summer, but we love this game and will continue to support it and its fans. How this will interact with possible PF2 support is yet to be determined.
We are really excited about all of this and hope that you are on board as well. Tell us your thoughts and what you want to see from us in the comments below.
I’m glad to see continued support for 1sr edition Pathfinder. I’m not a fan of the direction of 2nd edition in that it doesn’t even feel like 3.x which is so important for the Pathfinder feel.
I’m very happy to see that you’re continuing to support P1. I’d like to think that maybe in the not distant future that might include an AP…since they won’t be making more…and I’ll still want them. That said, I’d love to see a Traveller AP too.
