To me they're the same thing. Good adventures are just as important as game mechanics (if not more so).

Glad I could help! Seriously though, All my favorite designers write adventures for Paizo. So for me, it's kind of a no brainer to keep buying Paizo stuff and to play the system that supports their stuff. If I picked up 4E, it would only due to brand name recognition, because I'm not familiar...

Paizo has the most talented adventure writers in the RPG biz right now. While WOTC has the most popular brand name in the biz right now. Talent or a brand name? Which is more important to me as a consumer? Hmmmm. Tough choice.

Too true.

Well, my group is off their 4.0 flirtation and firmly in the Pathfinder camp. It's nice not to be concerned with what system I'll be running my next AP. Sweet relief.

This helped me a lot with reconciling some potential rules vs. imagination problems I was having with 4E combat. So thanks. I'm a bit more optimistic now.

I get a lot of milage out of the Paizo messageboards. There are a lot of friendly, smart people there. Designers and fans alike. I don't see why you feel the need to insult them.

I voted for the first two. Because D&D isn't about fighting dragons in dungeons. It's about just standing there. And posing.

No more random hit points. Truly this a day that will live in infamy. D&D just became a little more sterile and a little less fun. Oh well, at least I like the more limited weapon prof. and skill lists. The more limits that are placed on player's characters the more 4E seems like 1E to me. And...

I've read all of these. Pathfinder wins hands down. It's not even a contest. If Ptolus was still in the running I might've had to think about the answer a bit before I picked Pathfinder.

That's the one. Unless I'm mistaken (and my players are cheating) with UMD, any character can already cast healing spells.

Wizards can already cast healing spells in 3.5. If they can do it in 4th, it won't be a big deal.

They probably kept them in because their market research indicated that people like them. As a DM, I always like seeing players pick half elfs to play. Part of the reason for this is because they're mechanically weak. If a player chooses to play a half elf, you know they're doing it for...

Double post. My bad.

Yeah. Let's get rid of Dragons too. And elves. Swords are stupid. Let's replace those with Laser Guns. And I don't like horses either. Let's rplace horses with spaceships. There. Now D&D is perfect.

You do if your players like gnomes. Like mine do.

In the 1E DMG (also, to a lesser extent in the 2E & 3E DMGs). It's an excellent sourcebook if you want to create and run your own settings. I highly recommend it. It's a very fun read.

Sorry about that. If every game I ever ran or played in was like that, I'd quickly lose interest in D&D. One of the main things I've always appreciated about D&D is that there it was more of a toolkit to create my own fantasy setting. The more 4.0 moves away from that, the less it appeals to me.

"Don't worry, if you want to keep gnomes in your long running campaign all you have to do is shell out another 35 bucks for our Forgotten Realms book or subscribe to our ridiculously overpriced and unreliable DI." Weak.

I got no beef with G rated D&D products. I'd just never buy them, personally. I game with grownups pretty much exclusively.
