[QUOTE="ahayford, post: 5659663, member: 6680745"] Couple points 1) A lot of people use pt buy in 1e, 2e, 3e, 3.5. Myself included. Particularly for new players. 2) Make no mistake. Paizo is a company. It exists to generate money. No more or less so then Hasbro/WoTC. At its core, it could give a :):):):) about you. Luckily, currently the people owning/running it have a very high standard of quality and happen to be gamers themselves. The key difference here between the two companies, is that the hobby is in the blood all the way up to the top of Paizo (easier to see at smaller companies). Whereas at WoTC, the leadership includes the Hasbro board of directors. Some people forget WoTC was a very small company once, trying to launch a silly card game with spells and crap on it. Psssh who would buy that? Back before Hasbro bought them out, I remember being excited that WoTC bought DnD and hoped they'd do something cool with it. Then 3e launched and reinvitalized RPG gaming. Its easy to forget what they gave us when we are bitching about what they've taken away. [/QUOTE]
