This would make some sort of sense if WOTC did not basically abandon that version of D&D. Never to be used again by them. If it was a version of d&d that you despised and never wanted to see again then Okay. But if like myself and obviously MANY others we weren't quite done with that version...

Nope I'm pretty much staying with Pathfinder as my default FRPG. Love the system, love the support love the accessibility of the staff. At this point I dont think I'll even be picking up the core books unless it's utterly spectacular.

*Looks up thread* Sooooo, I'm guessing the answer to the question at hand is yes? Personally, I think that the gaming community at large tends to make too many excuses for itself and it's sometime sociopathic behavior. Especially how it acts on message board forum. I was part of a two or...

Yeah, that rant sounds alot like what I used to get from people when they found out that I played RPG's and video games. "I don't get why you'd want to play/do that?" "That's kinda stupid isnt it. Sitting around and talking about playing a game about talking?" (That last one from someone who...

Actually while I'm not a fan of 4E as an RPG at all I DO own and like all of the Adventure Boardgames and feel that the modified 4E rules used in the boardgames are pretty good and fun. So YAY 4E boardgame rules ?

My deepest Condolences to Mr. Porter and his son. HERE

As far as purchasing and supporting a D&D edition from WOTC? I have no such plans and wont be purchasing and supporting 5E or Next. I'll keep supporting and playing Pathfinder and supporting Paizo with my dollars. And if should somehow Paizo and Pathfinder eventually die on the vine I have...

It does help if youve seen the series. But I'll say this, my favorite TV show of all time is THE WIRE, my top five favorite shows include SPORTS NIGHT, The 1st 3 Seasons of the WEST WING and VERONICA MARS. Veronica Mars is well written, funny and engaging in a way that Buffy and other GIRLS ARE...

But...I AM playing my favorite version of D&D that's NOT officially D&D. I'm playing Pathfinder. If Pathfinder goes away? I just don't play D&D. I dont want to go back to descending AC, or crazy saving throws or no skills or anything like that. I played those games for YEARS and the only...

I know I'm not special. I also know that it's not a new phenomenon. Youre not talking to someone who started playing RPG's with 3rd Edition. I've been around at least since 82 so I know that the D&D faithful usually blindly follow the game from edition to edition. I WAS ONE OF THEM. I know...

True. This was back when myself and bunches of others still had faith in the RPG portion of the brand. It may not matter that I alone wont buy the core set of 5E. You're right. But there are a fair amount of people who are probably not going to buy / support 5E. People who are perfectly fine...

I'm sorry by Kobold Boots has a point. I did exactly what you said with 4E. I bought the gift set (Player's Handbook, DM's Guide and Monster Manual) ran a few games and the system wasn't for me. And I was stuck (and still am) with a core set than I'm never going to use. Not because I cant find...

Huh. I see that my experiences are kind of different than most peoples here as I have an aversion to carrying multiple hardcover books with me to the game that I run. Depending on the encounters that I know that I'm going to get to during that session, I'll usually just print out the monster...

Yeah, I may not be a customer of D&D anymore but D&D definitely isnt dead. There are too many people out there invested in the brand no matter what it puts out to even begin to claim that. The RPG industry isnt anywhere close to being dead either. I've spent more money on RPG stuff in the past...

I just want to clarify: I TOO like having physical copies of the books. I was also looking at my gaming shelf and the abundance of Pathfinder material of them and the fact that I'm running out of space. This just means that I have to start parting with my WOTC 3E hardcovers (except for the...

I use the physical copies for reading. But when I'm prepping? I use either HERO LAB (if I'm adding class levels to a monster) or the PDF or PFSRD. The PDF/PFSRD has the benefit of me being able to to prep a monster encounter from my phone, ipad or laptop. These days if a game doesn't have...

D&D seems to be whatever ruleset currently representing the brand. Right now it's the 4E ruleset, in a year it's going to be whatever NEXT finally becomes. So as it were, Pathfinder is not D&D.

Nope. It hasnt been since 2008. Pathfinder is my favorite for FRPG, Hero System and/or M&M for Supers.

I REALLY didnt care for how the 3E to 4E transition played out both from how WOTC handled it and from the fanbase level. Despite all that I bought the 4E gift set ran a few games and found that I didnt like the system. Paizo/Pathfinder came along and I like how they interact with their customers...

I almost left the hobby because it started getting harder to find 3.5 players in my area after 4E came out. So I either would have left the hobby or tried to get a serious supers (M&M or Hero System) based group off the ground. More than likely though I would have left the hobby and spent the...
