[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 6803382, member: 467"] Pathfinder and 5E are different enough games, while both still feeling like D&D, that I don't think there is a ton of crossover and there will be less and less as time goes on. I know some people that love the detailed, granular system of PF, they precise tactical battles and the highly strategic build subsystem. I know people that infinitely prefer the streamlined experience of 5E. Many people I know will play either depending on what is being run (beggars can't be choosers, after all) but I don't know very many at all that like both equally or have no preference. Anecdotal, I know. The thing is, there is nothing saying that people that prefer PF over 5E and vice versa need to be at odds. Having two strong flavors of D&D that cater to different tastes is a good thing. It grows the hobby by providing robust play at cons and offering different things to different people as they enter the hobby. [/QUOTE]
