Message: <blockquote data-quote="GreyLord" data-source="post: 6050164" data-attributes="member: 4348">Actually the RPG creative community is pretty large.  The "IN" group however...those that are the WotC people ARE pretty small.  Just because there's a large group that aren't with the "IN" group there does not mean they do not exist.The following is opinion on my part...NOTHING in anyway or any part somewhat or even close to being anything near statements of fact or anything else in like matter.Many WotC employees LOVE pathfinder.  They are avid pathfinder players and fans.  They get along fantastically with many of those in Paizo.That said, due to rising competition and focuses on these areas in the market, it is getting a tad uncomfortable in relation to pathfinder at WotC at times.  Simply put, Pathfinder, once a small deriviative RPG from a WotC product has now become a major thorn to compete against.  This can create stress in relating to it on work.  Things tend to cause a little more tension when the items that you may love are suddenly on the frontline for you to compete and beat.  So it's a strange relationship at this point I think.  Part of the focus with DDN will be getting Pathfinder fans to at least try, if not buy, DDN...and if possible choose DDN over pathfinder.That's some time away...but I imagine it is already starting to cause some friction at least among the higher levels...which if it hasn't already...could roll down to the lower levels.That said...once again I imagine that there are a good number of WotC employees who are avid Pathfinder fans and players.  In addition, even if there is eventually a lot of angst at the workplace in regards to PF...those on the WotC and Paizo staffs that are friends will remain friends and if they play together will continue to play together.  There are some things that will remain solid and strong regardless of how much pressure the big bosses higher up put on their lower companies and it's employees.</blockquote>
