Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 9226429" data-attributes="member: 2209">Pathfinder only came out in August 2009 though a year after 4e. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Paizo did make it easy to continue with 3.5 because they provided both regular quality 3.5 one off adventures and monthly serialized adventure paths for the year leading up to 4e and the first year of 4e. They were at the top of their 3.5 game having had huge experience running Dungeon for years with both its one offs and their pioneering of three well received adventure paths in that system so they had a reputation for quality adventures that a number of 3.5 fans knew. This meant those sticking with 3.5 had constant new adventuring material that many considered high quality catering to people who just wanted one offs for their own campaigns or one shot adventures and to those who wanted full start to finish campaigns.Then the differences between 3.5 and Pathfinder 1e were similar to 3.0 to 3.5, close enough that you can use Pathfinder adventures with 3.5 or use 3.5 material in Pathfinder with very little work to reconcile the small rule differences (grappling, small skill differences, etc.) instead of Pathfinder having to establish itself as its entirely own thing disconnected from D&D.</blockquote>
