I'm still reading through the stuff and the posts here, but I wanted to say, I don't see learning things fro 5e as a bad thing. 5e had lots of good points and making PF easier to play and more mechanically tight is a good thing. I just want PF to remain the more "complex" alternative, with more...

I wanted to add to that discussion, that it's not even just Shadowrun and Pathfinder. CoC didn't change much, WoD didn't change that much, especially the "classic" line, but even NWoD 1e wasn't that different. The 2es of the latter made more changes and brought in new stuff aplenty, but at the...

Well, that was a surprise! :D How pleasent, I don't know yet, I've just seen the announcement and reading the stuff on Paizo's. Love the cover art. The b&w version maybe even more, because I'm a sucker of sketchy b&w artworks in general, but the colored version is beautiful too.

However, I'm assuming that PF fans could more or less agree on the type of game they'd want to play, that is why they're playing PF. Even in the Strange Aeons AP (or was it Horror Adventures?), the writers flat-out said, that despite the horror/Lovecraftian angle, it is still PF, with all its...

Also, to be honest, it reminds me a bit of what happened when talking started about Vampire the Masquerade's (and WoD's in general) new edition and how should that go, what people would want to see change and what they'd want to keep? There some people said things that gave a picture of them...

So, in a nutshell, like 5e, but taking even more steps toward narrative games and also incorporating elements of 4e... Well, you want a hipothetical PF 2 to go against literally every element of why people wanted PF and like to play PF in the first place. :D At this point I'd just say I don't...

For a time. Although, we don't know how much new players PF got since then. They might recovered from that loss and even surpassed the former numbers by now. Or not. We don't know, but I won't bury them before they're dead. Again, might be, or not. Depends on the local scene, your friends...

Which was to be expected, although, I think after that first wave it stabilized. In a nutshell, most people who played PF, because they didn't like 4e, but, in fact welcomed the simplification of 5e already went over. On Roll 20, or are we talking in general? In general, I think there was...

And that is on a platform they didn't had an official license with, thus AP material, for example. It seems to confirm my assesment that PF isn't loosing ground to 5e, actually, it's growing. It's just, with it's aiming, business philosophy and the help of the current zeitgeist, 5e earned a LOT...

Yeah, that's an example. I just got the impression, that it is actually growing steadily, it's just 5e was aimed at a much wider target audience, so it's growing [I]much[I] faster. But they doen't have to compete, exactly, because of that, they have slightly different audiences. 5e, for the...

Is it dwindling? I know nobody knows actual numbers and that anecdotal evidence is no evidence. However, i'm not entirely sure, I don't have the time to look back at the various charts on the mainpage from the past several years, but I've got the impression, that PF (and most other games too)...

I'm getting sick of the word "streamlined"... It's not an attack on the article's writer, or on the page (I actually more or less like it, It's better, IMO, than the WotC one). But some words are really-really gotten overused in the past several years (or a decade...) and one of them is...

While I get the appeal of making my own world, I am and always was attracted to specific rpgs by their settings and frequently by novels I red and liked. To be interested in a game, I need an interesting setting and for an interesting setting I'd like to read good stories, to get into the...

Well, I like antiheroes and troubled heroes and reluctant heroes. I like heroic deeds. However, the archetypical white knight in shining armor do-gooder-type hero, I always found that boring and unrelatable. Suffice to say, i never had an inclination to play a paladin. :P

Yeah, people, who didn't like the old Realms...

He's still a fairly young elf... He's what, 150-160 years old? Also, Hero left too much possibilities and cliffhangers dangling in the wind. I didn't get the feeling of a closure from that book, which left the seemingly ending of the series with an especially sour taste. Yup. We get it...

From a point of view, it looks good, as a picture. On the other hand, I like less abstract, less "artsy" covers on novels a bit more, especially on rpg-related novels. I guess I see those more like illustrations, than standalone art pieces. I miss the setting logo too. Missed it from the rpg...

Man, and they said WoD was political... It was and is, don't get me wrong, I always liked that, but it never went this deep into pandering to a specific real-world political group. It's just waaay too blunt and one-sided to my tastes. It's just saying "well, are you an activist IRL...

I firmly believe it was both. It wasn't a good time for rpg publishers and yeah, NWoD suffered too, but at the same time a lot of people just refused to change for it, especially, as I wrote, taking into account the worldwide audience. Also, for various reasons, it couldn't manage to reach as...

Well, they want to do something with the marble and the rose, at least I got assured, when I asked specifically. I hope it'll still be the cover, because well, it always was, except V20 and it always felt jarring to me, although the V20 ankh were cool on itself. I just want the old cover...
