[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 5751397, member: 1231"] Hell yeah! Let me tell you: When 4th Edition and Pathfinder first came out, I was completely onboard withh 4E and had a huge disdain for Pathfinder, which at the time seemed like a pretty repackaging of 3e (in some ways it was, obviously). But as time wore on I became less and less enthusiastic about 4E, and then I discovered that there was an "SRD" for Pathfinder. That they actually gave access to all the crunch of Pathfinder for free. Now, because I have pretty much zero disposable income I have not been able to spend a lot of money so far on Pathfinder (merely the first two Kingmaker modules), but there is something about it that is so awesome that even though I can essentially play for free, [I]I want to buy all of their game books[/I] (and plenty more modules, but there are kind of too many Golarion supplements at this point for me). Mark my words, when I have the money to spare I will be looking to pick up more Pathfinder (or Pathfinder 2nd Edition, if it takes that long) . So, why do I want a 5th Edition? A few people have mentioned the term "neophile" . I suppose that is part of it. I want to see what Wizards does with a new edition. I want to see the next era of evolutionary struggle for the PnP RPG niche unfold with an epic battle for survival between D&D and Pathfinder, no holds barred and quite possibly to the death!! Muahaha... ahhh... Maybe getting a little carried away with myself there. Really, I just want to see innovative solutions to the problems of 4E that make the next iteration of the game definitively better and something I would want to [I]own[/I] again, the way I want to own Pathfinder. And then sometime down the road other RPGs may be foreced to react and improve again as well. Anyway, maybe that is just me. [/QUOTE]
