Greetings,
After a 10 year hiatus, circumstances have allowed my old gaming group to get back together, with the addition of my 10 year old son.
The problem is that two of the players have switched to 4th Edition and are adamant in its superiority over 3.5/Pathfinder. The other two players are 3.5/Pathfinder players who are conversely quite critical of 4th.
So the decision now falls to me, the DM, to choose a system, and I really need more info.
I've learned that this is an acrimonious ongoing debate ("Edition Wars") and I absolutely DO NOT want to discuss the merits/weaknesses of the two systems here - which I believe is against the board rules.
What I am a looking for is a balanced, rational, well-considered online discussion or article summarizing the pros and cons of each system/edition.
Is there a link someone can provide me so I can do my own research and make an informed decision?
Thank you.
