Pathfinder 1E BAG and Pathfinder

Hey Wulf,
I know you have dropped a few hints, and can't commit to anything until you see all the fine print, but are you open at least to writing for Pathfinder? I'd sure like to see the writing bug bite you for either 4e or Pathfinder (or both!).

Not to mention any further resources for Grim Tales (like the Magic compendium you talked about a while ago) that may still be rattling around your brain.

Ugh, looks like I can't rely on this forum to notify me by email. Glad I happened by.

I'm interested in Pathfinder, certainly. I won't know about 4e until I see it. I have a feeling that most of the mechanics for 4e are pretty much fixed, which is great if you're a head-in-the-clouds designer with no knack for mechanics.

But my forte is mechanics. I don't know if there's room for me to play in 4e.

I'm not exactly sure where my creative energy is taking me yet. However, a lot of the things that previously resided in a folder called "Grim Tales II" have been slowly but surely sliding over into a new "Trailblazer" folder.

I've had to take a harder look at why I wrote Grim Tales in the first place, and what my goals were. I am starting to feel that part of my motivation for Grim Tales was the problems with high level 3e. Grim Tales was a strong reaction in the opposite direction. Since the "Sweet Spot" thread a couple years ago, and a few other threads here and there, I am starting to think that what I really wanted was to fix 3e.

I was unhappy with 3e/D&D for a while; I strayed; but now I'm coming back to see if we can't work out our relationship instead.

From my standpoint, Wulf, I'm hoping to see a 4E take that is slightly less over the top than what some of the 4E previews have implied, and Bad Axe Games is one of the companies I'd trust to do such a thing. More "woohoo" and less "wahoo."

EDIT: And, yeah, email notifications are not working right now. We're aware of it and hopefully it will get resolved soon!

If 4e had confined itself to basically just fixing 3e mechanics, it would not have "forked" the game in my brain.

I understand there are good reasons why they couldn't just do that.

At any rate now I am torn between a 3e that has the fluff I want but not all of the fixes, or a 4e that has all of the fixes I want plus a whole lot of other stuff I don't want.

I get where you're coming from - for me, I almost never used the fluff as it existed anyway, and in fact a lot of the fluff changes match up really closely to the changes I made for my own game.

Hey Joela--

As I mentioned in the other forum/thread, Trailblazer will be a short, sweet supplement for tweaking your 3.5/Pathfinder game, written by me, with help from ENworlders, and published through Bad Axe Games.

The Magic Compendium mentioned above is part of some work I had for Grim Tales-- but as you can see upthread, I am distancing myself a bit from GT and focusing on 3.5/Pathfinder for a while.

Since I am unlikely to have a Pathfinder logo to include on my cover anytime soon, I might as well slide this teaser in here:

Thanks, Wulf. The last I heard of Trailblazer was that it was GT's successor.
