True, I should have avoided the word "mess", that's my opinion. My experience with Pathfinder is admittedly very limited, but I'm seeing a very similar experience to when I was playing 3e. "How does monster x work?", "can you check spell y?", "How does feat Z work?" and then time is taken to...

Fair point.

Marketing aside, free or paid aside, the more content you put out for your game the more it becomes saturated with content. I think nobody is arguing that Paizo has done a poor job of selling their product to their fanbase. Clearly they are doing a very good job. The idea is that at some point...

Yeah, so maybe Paizo has slowed the saturation more than what WotC put out, but clearly it's happening. I remember the days playing 3e and 4e and feeling overwhelmed by errata, optional rules, new magic items, classes, races, spells . The few times I've played their living Pathfinder I've opted...

No idea, like I said I don't pay tons of attention to Pathfinder/Paizo. It DID direct me to the book which I'm sure that Paizo would want me to purchase (not faulting them, they are a business), and not the free SRD that is somewhere online. So, I think Mistwell's point is still valid to some...

There seems to be a recent trend in RPGs for a return to rules lighter games. We've seem the rise in popularity of FATE, Cortex +, Savage Worlds, Dungeon World, Numernera, IKRPG, and others. Other games in development are turning from complexity to easier to digest rules. Companies like Crafty...

I was flipping through an adventure from one of their APs and noticed that there was this fight where it didn't have stats for the creature, only stated "See monster book X pg XX". If I were a Paizo customer this would irk me significantly

You might be aware of the Rob Donoghue blog where he claims that (if I've understood him correctly) is that 3e/PF has some age behind it. Maybe not now, but at some point Pathfinder is going to reach a point where people are going to be looking for other games as the market will become more and...

Back around 2005-2008 Savage Worlds was totally an off ramp for D&D a lot of people who were tired or sick of 3e were looking for other games and the answer seemed to be "Savage Worlds" amerigoV There was a "de-programming" that had to happen after all the d20 my group played, interestingly...

Is there evidence of people looking for off ramps? His thesis is that 3e /PF is old and people are going to look for something new...is this the case?

If anything it'll be 13th age.- That said I HATE the style it's written in Numenera is too weird, from a guy who didn't back the kickstarter looking in it doesn't seem like it's enough to draw me away Dungeon World, I think too many people would be like "dungeon who?" I agree about the...

Wait, any minute?!? You mean any day right?

As Mike promised here is his L&L on skills http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4ll/20130916

I play Living Pathfinder (or whatever it's called) I HATE Pathfinder, but will play it because it's what the locals play. It's what spawned a thread I started a while back about mechanics not mattering as much as we thought they did.

No part three? He cuts off mid sentence

Mystara and Birthright for me please

 "I also believe that D&D had wandered away from what players are looking for from it" Interesting, I agree with that statement. I don't think that this was a dig at 4th. It was a good game, but the number 1 complaint I heard bar none was it didn't "feel" like D&D.

wait Paizo did that?

Wasn't there two seminars?
