Their business is build on attracting 3.x grogs, who are very sensitive to change, so yeah Paizo's likely to shrink with their market while pumping out a half-dozen iterations of a 15-year-old system.
3.x grogs are very sensitive to change, but they're also very willing to insist that massive changes are actually the true historical way it's always been, if they're presented right. It happened once before, it can happen again.

Well, it turns out even when you have only one god people still really, really can't agree on what that's all about, and you'd think that'd be a lot simpler.
You'd think it would be simpler, but then you count that one god and end up using three fingers.

Sadly any chance of their heads literally exploding was dashed when it didn't happen due to Idris Elba being cast as Heimdall.
He was good, though. This would be a D&D film. Just imagine the budget and star power they'd be able to assemble.

They just rolled the hitler numbers on their dice when they were writing the example, you can't blame them for that. You have to use the dice once you roll them, it's the rules.

Hail Satan! Lord of the Pit! King of Hell! Ruler of the Earth! Master of the Abyss! I open the unknowable doorways and touch the violet flame, drink the revitalizing blood and break the skulls of those who cross Him or His brothers. I call upon the most vicious demons of Hell to intervene. From this night forth, all trans people will be plagued by self-doubt, weakness, failure, hopelessness, hunger, pain, loss, insecurity, and envy. (I did not actually touch the violet flame, so any such feelings are unrelated)

But anyway, that OSR logo is good and I'm glad they're making a statement.

Deep time being spooky is like when you lie on the ground looking at the sky and your perspective shifts and the sky is really really big and you're tiny and possibly going to fall off and the planet is spinning through space.

What I mean is it can be a fun kind of spooky for a few minutes, and you say whoa a few times when you picture just how loving big everything is, and that brief dizzying moment of awe and fear can be a legitimate thing, but if it goes on too long: get help. Or drink to forget.

They also need different rules. They're all totally valid ways to do D&D, but yeah, it'd be way better if the rules initended for murderhoboing through a different dungeon each weekend, the rules for knockoff LoTR only everyone's boromir, and the rules for punching cthulhu until it agrees to help you fight zeuss were explicitly separated.
Glorantha currently comes in Runequest, Heroquest and 13th Age rulesets, which don't exactly map to play styles and power levels but show that something similar might work for D&D, after the nuclear apocalypse kills off most of the grogs.

DCC sells a pack of scratch-off pregen character sheets. And each player requires like four sheets to play a funnel, so you can go through a ton.
