Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dannyalcatraz" data-source="post: 5766940" data-attributes="member: 19675">Pathfinder is more than a mere name change for D&D.  There are mechanical & fluff differences.Lancia made a legendary vehicle called the Stratos.  One of those is currently worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.  A company called Hawk makes a kit version of it that can be had for less than a tenth of that.  Many of the parts are 100% interchangeable.However, the Hawk version is better made and more dependable.There is a similar story going on with the Jaguar S type and a company that makes a new version of it.In both cases, there are many similarities, but the differences that exist are real & meaningful.Just like the distinction between D&D and Pathfinder.While I own the books, I've not been able to convince anyone to play it- or any of the 3.X games- because nobody wants to learn the rules differences.  (And I'm not exactly pushing them, either.)So the answer is that I really don't have data on whether it scratches that itch or not.  (it may, but that isn't a real answer.) I can only go by what I see on the page.  And what I see on the page is no more or less deserving of the title you wish to crown it with than the games I mentioned before...and I'm not going to use one company's Trademarked name to describe a family of a half-dozen or more very similar but distinguishable products.</blockquote>
