[QUOTE="Firos, post: 4796975, member: 68533"] I have the same kind of problem. I like 4E. It is by far my favorite game to play right now. I loved 3.5E, and I particularly loved what Paizo did with it. For Pathfinder, I like the setting (even if it is a bit too much of a kitchen sink setting for my tastes) and there are so many ideas, monster ecologies, and reworkings of 3.5 assumptions that I like. The art is fantastic, and in general more consistent than WotC's for 4E. Take a look at the illustration for the captain of the sunset ship in "The Jackal's Price" for evidence. Speaking of which, the most recent adventure path is great. But that is where my love for it ends. I just don't want to play 3.5 anymore. I wish Paizo would produce 4.0 material, but that won't happen. Conversions are a poor suggestion - the design of the encounters in each game is just too different to make this easy, so some of my favorite Pathfinder adventures would be, at best, inspirations for my recreations of them into 4E adventures. As much as I love the rules for 4E, and the gameplay, the setting details leave me cold. The art is improving; I wasn't a big fan of much of the art of the first core books. If I could combine Pathfinder setting with 4E rules, I would be very happy. I suppose that makes the Pathfinder Campaign Setting a pretty good product, given its lack of rules text. Divorce is never good for the kids. [/QUOTE]
