[QUOTE="Grimstaff, post: 4432124, member: 34880"] This is very...cute. All edition wars aside, you'd be hard pressed to find even a shred of evidence that Pathfinder has had even 10% of the sales 4E has, and 4E's only been out a couple of months now. Pathfinder is a fantastic product, and I've always been one to espouse quality over quantity. I'm not so sure PF would be half as cool a product if was not so niche (keeping it small means they only have to answer to themselves and their creative muses). 1. There is only 1 version of D&D. As part of an internet community we have a much more varied plate of games to choose from, but regardless of what we may individually consider to be "D&D", there is only one game sitting on shelves at the local bookstore with that title, and its going to far outsell anything else. There is no "splitting in two". 2. If by "fringe" you mean, "the zone of insane profitablility and sales". 3. Pathfinder could do 5 times as good as it is already, and still have no impact on WotC whatsoever. Seriously, 4E doesn't have to crash and burn (and won't) for folks to enjoy PF, in fact since 4E may bring more players to the hobby in general, it may ultimately bring more players to PF. :) [/QUOTE]
