[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 8898380, member: 50895"] While I voted "No", I have to qualify myself, in that I stopped playing D&D at the start of Pathfinder 1e. Not due to any preferential need, but because I wanted to publish a Japanese horror setting and I was planning to use 3.5, but it was then that 3.5 stopped releasing content and WotC was gearing up for 4.0 and the GSL. With Paizo's pass of doing that, and creating Pathfinder, I was in development at the time, and needed an active game system in play to publish.
