[QUOTE="Chaos Trip Studios, post: 5644907, member: 6668615"] I always thought that Pathfinder would do well. d20 is a proven system that people have been familiar with for a decade. The d20 fanbase was already well established and there is tons of 3rd party support out there. Just check out how many publishers are "converting" their old d20 stuff to the "new" Pathfinder system. Also, how many 3rd edition players bought Pathfinder just to replace their old core rulebooks. I know I bought mine when 3rd edition first came out and there isn't a cover left on any of them. With all that to consider, it would be foolish to think that Pathfinder would do poorly. 4E was a much bigger risk. It is a brand new system, no existing fan base (the D&D brand name isn't that powerful by itself) and much less 3rd party support. Both product lines have excellent production values. Overall, I think that the Pathfinder vs 4E "rivalry" will be a great boon to the hobby on the whole. After all, gamers aren't monogamous by nature. I myself still play 3rd edition on occassion even though I do like 4E a lot. Being spoiled for choice is good in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
