[QUOTE="Haltherrion, post: 5482410, member: 18253"] I find it an interesting, timely topic. My group has played 3.5E up until the end of 2009 when we moved to 4E. Personally, I've enjoyed the move. One of my players though has indicated he isn't all that taken with 4E which got me thinking about where to go with the gaming group should more of the players feel that way. Pathfinder seemed like a good option at first because by all accounts it seems to have addressed some of 3.5E's shortcomings, although I'd need to research it more. I don't really know that much about it. But in addition to mulling Pathfinder, I also polled the other players and found the first player is in a distinct minority. The rest of the group loves 4E. Moreover, as we discussed it, the 4E lovers among us don't actually want to go back to 3.5E or something much like it. It was fun at the time but the disparity between casters and non-casters in terms of both bookkeeping and the amount of time each consumed in a session does not appeal at all. At this point, I don' think we will leave 4E but if we did, it would be either for something non-D&D based or possibly to a pre 3.0 D&D. The former is more likely. [/QUOTE]
