[QUOTE="Diamond Cross, post: 5270714, member: 51024"] I haven't read any of the books yet, can someone summarize the differences to me? Plus, I'm burnt out on edition changes, edition wars, and things like "everybody's gotta have their own take on the rules" and modify the rules to their liking. Over the years I've collected a lot of RPGS and have seen multiple editions of the games. Star Wars -D6 (2 editions of d6 even) to d20 (Haven't touched the new Saga stuff) MSH - Classic, Advanced, Saga, Diceless DCH - Three edition changes. Palladium - well, just quite a bit there. D&D - Started with 1e, then 2e, then 3e & 3.5e Champions - Two different Editions then TNE Traveller - one edition to TNE Mutants And Masterminds - Three Editions Now Aberrant - d10 to d20 WoD - original, Second edition, now New WoD. Top Secret - Original then SI Gamma World - 2e & 3e (I still love the rainbow resolution table though, which I miss) BTVS - Original and revised plus supplements AFMBE - Just a lot of books d20 Modern plus its associated books such as d20 Future So as you can see, I've been through a lot of games since about 1980 or so. Don't get me wrong, I love these games, but I'm just burnt out from the craze to get all the necessary books which means spending money I don't have on thrty five to fifty dollar books. So I'm really not going to go out of my way to get the pathfinder. [/QUOTE]
