Message: <blockquote data-quote="gamerprinter" data-source="post: 5267352" data-attributes="member: 50895">Thread not about me, but...Since I am both a GM and player of Pathfinder, this thread doesn't target me either, but... I was perfectly happy with 3.5 and do not have all the various 'the only thing wrong with 3e', because as far as I'm concerned there's nothing wrong with 3e at all.However, I'm the guy in the group that urged them to try Pathfinder and now they love it. The switch over issues mentioned in this thread don't exist. While we periodically find a spell that works differently than it used to, in most cases they are improvements. To us it feels exactly the same as 3e, exactly, the differences are subtle really.The reason I switched is because I'm a wanna-be publisher and OGL while still with a large audience wasn't current, and I figured I would have better luck working with a 'new system'. Also Pathfinder being the new kid on the block, didn't have existing settings that I want to build, that do exist in 3e. I don't want to be the number two or number 25th publisher who created a feudal Japan setting. I wanted to be first and only way to do that is create for a new system that has no existing other settings, which makes PF ideal for my publishing goals.We looked at 4e, somebody bought the core books, but we all read them aloud and laughed and laughed - to us its hideous system and none to our liking at all (this is subjective to our group's mentality, not necessarily the game itself).So though we play Pathfinder now and are loving it, we really had no reason to switch, beyond the fact that I'm the one buying all the PF stuff and I twisted their arms for a year now to try it. (Started while still in Beta).One of the players is still a 3.5 grognard and plays along with the rest of the group's desires, but for the rest, I don't think they would go back to 3.5 now - Pathfinder hits the sweet spot, for most of us.GP</blockquote>
