To me the only out of control aspect to Mythic is the melee damage being thrown around. Once you trim that down it works really well and makes the characters feel larger than life in a really elegant way.

I have to go the other way, spending all that time each level and planning out the mechanics of your character meticulously and with every tiny little nuance... it creates a gameplay experience unlike any other. 5e to me felt so shallow. There is very, very little choice to be made in...

I make use of Mythic in my games. I've baked in Mythic progression with level advancement to create "30 levels". When people are performing their quests to gain their Mythic tiers their exp goes to earning bonus feats ala E6. The only real change I implimented was in multiplying damage. I...

Ugh, I think I threw up a little in my mouth at the thought. 5e is ANYTHING but universally enjoyed. I'm much more satisfied with Paizo's current paradigm thanks! I can't wait to grab Ultimate Intrigue and Horror, and the more I hear about how amazing Weapon Master's Handbook is the more I...

I was more thinking that because of the OGL it's a great time to poach Warlock for Pathfinder.

I'm currently running a 5E game through the starter set (expanded by converting some other content) because my co-workers were crazy excited to try it out, and all I can think of is how much I wish I was running Pathfinder instead. 5E is just such a sparse system that I feel bad for my players...
