[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6429259, member: 5834"] It may have come about because WotC left 3.5 behind, but it grew into the big dog by putting out great material and making smart marketing decisions. That is what ultimately won the day. That competition for the gaming dollar is still there. I think it makes games better. WotC has to put out good material or they'll falter. They have to make smart marketing decisions and manage their finances efficiently. I don't see why they wouldn't welcome the competition, if they're up to making a high quality product that can compete. I think WotC should be monitoring 5E closely ready to make changes if major problems pop up with the game, just like Paizo did in the beginning and does to some degree now. So far my group and I like 5E. Our money for the moment is moving from Paizo to 5E. If WotC falters, we'll look elsewhere. Our one concern right now is adventures. We're very used to high quality adventures from Paizo. [I]Hoard of the Dragon Queen[/I] is not up to par. I understand this is their first adventure written when the rules are not complete. So they get a bit of a pass on this one. Now that they know their rules, newer adventures will hopefully be up to the competition. I'll start buying Paizo modules in a heartbeat if they produce 5E modules and the WotC modules remain subpar. Though right now I'm having some fun converting some true classics like [I]Keep the Borderlands[/I]. [/QUOTE]
