D&D 3.x gamers who skipped 4e, why are you not "upgrading" to Pathfinder?

[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 5266659, member: 59506"] I agree, that's why I like front loading also. IMO, Pathfinder, 4E, and Trailblazer all got this right. In my houserules (I loosely call it houserules, in actuality I'm practically re-writing the PHB:blush:) I want to [I]start[/I] in the sweet spot and [I]stay[/I] in the sweet spot (kind of like a front loaded E6 or E10 game).:) I probably wasn't clear about that part, I don't like 3E at 1st level. For me, the sweet spot started about 3rd to 5th, and went up to 10th. I want to stay between those points. Oh yeah...most definitely. Although, I hope nobody takes my description as being negative*. [SIZE=1](*I don't think you are Bryon, just saying it for those who may have taken it that way.:))[/SIZE] That's just the feel it gives me. If the feel of Pathfinder, or any other game, works for you, then don't listen to me or anyone else. RPG enjoyment is a 100% subjective thing. Don't let anyone's opinion of a game change yours. Play what you like, and like what you play.:D I think Pathfinder, as well as 4E, can make any style game. They may be more hardwired for certain styles of games, but they can still be used. With some tweaking, I think you can make a game do anything you want. I'm just making my rules hardwired for the type of game I want. Once it's done, I'll never have to search or adapt again.B-) Of course though, I'll still play in any game, regardless of system...if it's a good group with good people.:cool: [/QUOTE]
