SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: SavageSchemer;1086564That's not really the question though. I totally get that there are more PF products because they sell well. The question is, how well does FGG support their S&W game system above and beyond that? If everything is essentially a regurgitated PF product, I'd personally answer that as "not very well".

There are people at Frog God who "think" in pathfinder or 5E, and there are people who "think" in old-school D&D.

If you get something written by Matt Finch, I'll guarantee you it was developed in an old-school brain thinking on old-school system principles.  I presume the same for Bill Webb.

If you buy something written by one of their PF or 5E people, the opposite may be true.  

Conversions don't work 1:1, because the same terms mean different mathematical relationships in different editions.  The best way to write conversions is to consider the relationships between the working parts of an adventure, and use whatever mechanics in the destination edition that work according to the same principles.  But often people merely equalize around the terms, instead of what the terms mechanically actually are.
