[QUOTE="Razuur, post: 6346220, member: 1997"] [b]I vote.... BOTH[/b] I think people are pushing an antagonism between the two which may or may not be there. I remember when both Babylon 5 and Star Trek DS9 were on the air. Two sci fi shows telling arc based stories about a space station in space - galactic wars, character transformations, evil threats from far away, etc. One could say that those shows were competitors of each other. Thing is, the folks that worked on those shows had a friendly rivalry. They competed against each other to make the best show possible. Both wanted as many viewers as possible. Both wanted the highest ratings as possible. But both wanted each other to succeed. Both groups enjoyed watching each others show. Both sides would get in touch with each other and let each other know when they had done a particularly great ep. It was a friendly rivalry. It was not an either/or. Some fans may have thought so, but I know tons of people who liked both. This is how I view 5e and Pathfinder. Folks would have to be crazy not to want BOTH to succeed. I know that I will be buying from both companies, and using the seperately or together. They don't have to hate each other. They don't have to want to destroy each other. Do they both want to make money? Yep. Do they both want to be popular and enjoyed by millions of gamers? Yep. Other than Fantasy Flight, they are arguably the biggest kids on the block, and it is not outside of reason to consider that the big kids can be allies, and even supportive other. There is enough pie for everyone. I love 5e's dream of a lighter system that is easily convertible to all editions of DnD. And I love Pathfinder as I feel it is the best iteration of 3.Xe. Neither are leaving my world view. Both will get my money and respect. And I suspect both secretly admire each other and do not want this turned into an "edition war". It doesn't have to be an either/or - it can be BOTH. Everybody can win here folks, if we let them. [/QUOTE]
