I get the feeling Paizo isn't worried about Wizards of the Coast.

[QUOTE="ren1999, post: 6228775, member: 85179"] I think Paizo should be worried. I continue to test Pathfinder and there are some real mechanical problems with the game including bloat. The rulebooks are too thick full of similar spells and feats. Pathfinder Module Adventures are beautiful, but game play combat takes too long. 5th Edition is looking very streamlined and it feels as fun and fast as earlier editions of D&D. So why have I changed my mind? The addition of the Reaction and a few Multiple Actions is really going to add a new layer of fun to 5E. And monsters die faster but are still threats. In summary, 5E's game mechanics are superior to Pathfinder's. I did not always say this before. I'm saying it now. Paizo shouldn't worry if WOTC doesn't put out high quality adventures that look as nice as Paizo's. I have always correctly predicted the success or failure of software and gadgets in the past. If WOTC has a similar subscriber system to Paizo's, it will be a winner too. Paizo and WOTC could work together. kira3696.tripod.com <-- My 5E Game Tracker [/QUOTE]
