[QUOTE="Azgulor, post: 5146777, member: 14291"] +1 to the above. I can appreciate not wanting to spend $50 without being sure it's for you. However, I can think of no other RPG company that showed as much insight into the development process or made free or very affordable ($10 PDF) options available. As others have said, if you like 3.5, you're likely to like Pathfinder. I also agree it's an evolution of 3.5 - and a very good one - rather than a replacement product. Additionally, there is Trailblazer. Trailblazer can be used with PF & 3.5 and addresses more "fixes" as that was its design goal. If neither 3.5, PF, nor Trailblazer do it for you, then I'd say your tastes have brought you to the point where it's time to look at other RPGs. As for "ending your affair" with Paizo, forgive me, but I think you're being incredibly short-sighted. Assuming you still play 3.5, PF remains largely compatible per its design goal. There is a tremendous amount of quality RPG product coming out of Paizo. If Golarion or the PF APs aren't your thing, there are still a lot of titles in the module line and PF Chronicles which can be adapted to 3.5 or any other FRPG. Ultimately, it's your buck and your game. If you're really that torn up about PF, see if you can borrow someone's book or buy the PDF version or check out Trailblazer. If none of those suggestions are viable, then I think your mind's already made up. Hopefully the responses you've received here can help you determine if further investigation makes sense. If not, happy gaming with your new system of choice. [/QUOTE]
