Message: <blockquote data-quote="aboyd" data-source="post: 5041069" data-attributes="member: 44797">I just wanted to say how surprising two things are from this thread.  First, many people have not only expressed love for Pathfinder, but actually are running active Pathfinder games.  That took me off guard.  Does Paizo know they have something successful on their hands?  Are you guys actually buying the books, so that Paizo sees income from the product?  Because honestly, my assumption has been that Pathfinder is a non-event.  It sold what it sold, and it's done.  But if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.The second surprising thing is how many people are listing DDI in their low points.  Someone mentioned "sprawl."  I don't use it, so I really don't even know what that means.  But this is surprising to me, as I've heard nothing but love for DDI.  I mean, hasn't that been the crown jewel?  I don't understand what changed for so many posters here.Here are my highs & lows:High Point:Since I got back into D&D only in 2006, I'm still exploring the D&D 3.5 era, and cherry-picking only the best of 3rd-party books.  Recently discovered the Kingdoms of Kalamar book, "Player's Guide to the Soverign Lands," and I love it.  I love it for fleshing out the grit of my campaign -- basically just the equipment chapter, with its many plants, herbal concoctions, poisons, and charts for slave prices.  Non-magical alchemy for the win!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Low Point:I'm not really interested in much new stuff, so I'm kinda left behind.  I don't like 4th edition, don't even really like Pathfinder, don't even like new video games such as Dragon Age.  So I spend my time playing Icewind Dale 2 (the only Infinity Engine game I've yet to play), buying old 3.5 edition books from eBay, and so on.  I like it, and I have about 30 people clamoring to get into my campaign, but I still can't help noticing that stuff is getting more & more scarce.  Some 3.5 edition books cannot be found for less than $60 now, and I didn't think to buy them when they were in plentiful supply.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
