[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5267725, member: 177"] I'm perhaps not the typical sort of gamer that's expected to answer: I'm not a "one game" kind of person. I played a goodly amount of 3e. The 4e came out, I bought the core rules and tried them out a bit. It's okay, and I'll play it, but nothing in it fires me up all that much. Lacking any specific reason to use 4e, if I were to run generic fantasy, I'd probably use 3e instead. Someone gave me the Pathfinder core rulebook as a gift. Some nice stuff in there - if I run D&D, I won't be surprised if I steal some Pathfinder elements. But overall, Pathfinder is not sufficiently different from 3e to merit pouring money into what would be the third set of books in the same basic ruleset (3e, 3.5e, Pathfinder) at this time. I am not particularly concerned about having ongoing support for my games, and I expect that's a major portion of the Pathfinder draw. So, it fails to grip me on one of its major selling points.
