The publishers of Nightfell, a horror/grimdark setting for 5e, made a post on Reddit announcing their kickstarter for a PF2e port.
The setting looks interesting, and it’s well reviewed on DTRPG. It’s also received ongoing support since release. So, I’m a little excited about established 5e 3PPs dipping their toes in the PF2 waters, rather than just slapping a new name on the 5e mechanics and launching “their own” system.
It kind of feels like the game is approaching a critical population limit, where 3rd party support will be more common, and projects supporting both systems will become much more normal.

Sounds awesome, if for no other reason than PF2e needs more alternative settings. Golarion is lame. I want more interesting alternatives, or at least more content which breaks the tight coupling of the world and the game content.
Really cool to see. I run in my own world and don’t have much interest in using a published world, unless it were to be the Forgotten Realms, but it’s cool to see more companies demonstrating confidence in PF2. Plus, even without using the world itself, setting books are often great resources to plunder for inspiration in worldbuilding.
I’ll take a proper look at this setting later, after the session I’m GMing in ~16 hours, but does anyone have a good one-paragraph pitch of the world and the kinds of content you can expect?
Yeah, I also have my own setting, but it could use more edge, so I’m hoping to steal some from these guys (I have little of my own). But this is someone other than Glicker and Seifter having actually success raising funds for PF2 content, and that’s really good for the future.
I think they have some video trailers on YouTube, and there’s a quickstart doc on the KS page.
