Pathfinder 2e Content Coming!!!
Added 2023-02-20 14:00:03 +0000 UTCFor folks trying out Pathfinder 2e (PF2) content, or considering the switch from D&D 5e to PF2, my team and I are working hard to make our resources compatible with PF2 ASAP!
First, I want to stress that the content we create for patrons (Lair Magazine, stand-alone adventures, etc.) will continue to be compatible with D&D 5e. We know that almost all of you are here for 5e content, so we will 100% continue to provide that.
However, there is also a growing interest in Pathfinder 2e, including on my part and my team's part. (In fact, the game Zac runs for many of us is moving to PF2 in our next game session.)
Thus, our plan is to make the content we publish also compatible with Pathfinder 2e (Lair Magazine, stand-alone adventures, etc.). That is, as a DM Lair patron, the content you receive will work for both D&D 5e and Pathfinder 2e.
How Do We Get There?
Since my team and I are still learning Pathfinder 2e, an immediate transition just isn't feasible. We want to ensure that what we publish is top-notch quality, as you our patrons have come to expect. So, this is our plan:
We are enlisting the aid of Mark Seifter, one of the lead co-designers of Pathfinder 2, to help our team get up to speed on creating PF2 content, considering elements such as encounter and monster design.
Starting in March 2023, we will make some portions of Lair Magazine compatible with Pathfinder 2e. However, they will not be published in the official PDFs. Instead, they will be made available as "unofficial launch" material, simple PDFs without any fancy layout or images. This will allow us to quickly get PF2 material out to folks who want it and allow the DM Lair team to develop expertise with PF2 before it starts going into official publications.
By April or May 2023, we will aim to make everything in Lair Magazine compatible with Pathfinder 2e. This content will continue to be made available as "unofficial launch" material and not be published in the official PDFs.
By August 2023, we will officially publish Lair Magazine and other patron content compatible with both D&D 5e and Pathfinder 2e. The resources patrons get will be useable for both systems!
Questions?
If you have any questions about this, please let us know. Drop a comment here, ask in the Patron Lair on Discord, or swing by a live stream (they are usually on Thursdays from 9 am to 12 pm Eastern). My team and I are happy to clarify and help!
Thank you!!!

The current plan is going forward we'll make things work with PF2. Once we have that system working smoothly, we can evaluate the idea of converting past content. Not going to lie, that would be a mountain of work, and I'm not sure my team would have the capacity for it.

2023-02-20 15:29:42 +0000 UTCVery ambitious and exciting news! Excited to see your business grow with the enevitable flood of patrons when the news gets out that your high quality materials will soon be compatible with PF 2e. Feels like you just double the value of your patreon. Happy I joined recently.

2023-02-20 15:27:38 +0000 UTCThis is AMAZING! My party has been expressing interest in Pathfinder as well, and this may help me along the way (and be less intimidating then the almost 700pg core rulebook).
2023-02-20 14:31:25 +0000 UTCSince none of my players want to learn a new system, I probably won't be playing Pathfinder :/ Nonetheless, I'm sure learning a new system is going to give the team fresh ideas and a new perspective. That's always good!
2023-02-20 14:17:33 +0000 UTCYou have a ton of work ahead of you and it is greatly appreciated!
