[QUOTE="OnlineDM, post: 5666470, member: 90804"] [MENTION=20741]Steel_Wind[/MENTION]: Thank you for the detailed reply. I'm familiar with Pathfinder Society and I'm very familiar with Enchanted Grounds; when my Pathfinder GM and I met last night to talk about the post-mortem of the campaign, we met at Enchanted Grounds. First, I'll say that I don't have the same issues with LFR that apparently some people do based on your post. I've had lots of fun with the adventures, and some of the most fun has been when I've run my own adventures (the MyRealms program). So, I don't have too many complaints about LFR. That said, the one complaint I do have about LFR carries over to PFS, at least based on what my GM said: There doesn't tend to be much in the way of role playing or character development at organized play games. Naturally, this will vary greatly from player to player and table to table, but at least at our local store my GM was disappointed by the little role playing at PFS. This is why he wanted to start a home campaign in the first place. If I get to the point that I'm just itching to play Pathfinder, I'll definitely head down to the local store (it's within walking distance of my home, which is why I'm there so frequently already) and get my game on. But I'll admit that so far, I feel like 4e is a more natural fit for me. I could see getting into another Pathfinder game in the future with this same GM (just because I enjoy his style), or I could see dropping into a game with friends at a convention or something like that. But for the moment, I'm not itching to play Pathfinder. I'm pretty happy with the many 4e games I currently have going. To be clear, this isn't a slight on Pathfinder - it's a great system, and I totally understand why so many people like it. I'd like to give it more of a try in the future, too, perhaps if I get burned out on 4e. But based on feel (and, I won't lie, the ease of use of DDI) I'm more drawn to 4e right now. [/QUOTE]
