If Paizo had gone 4E ...

[Remathilis]

I will be happy as a clam if Paizo ever starts making 4e compatible material...

 

[ShinHakkaider]

No, I wouldn't.

Sadly, I no longer have time these days to convert adventures

This.

And I'm a BIIIIIIIG fan of Paizo's. But if they went 4e I wouldnt follow them.
I have enough of their material to probably run games for a couple of years. But if they had gone 4E I would have unsubscribed from their Pathfinder Adventure Path at the end of their 3.5 run.

Dear Gamer,

Of course there are always diehards like myself, who would buy it either way, but with the potential relaxation of the GSL in the next few months, it seems like a timely question.

I would buy Pathfinder either way. It's great fun and great flavor. I would prefer they go 4e, especially if the GSL relaxes (at least they admitted it needed work!). However, if they stick with their Pathfinder rules, then I would still play.

The other scenario, if the revised GSL allows for it, would be dual-stat books, which would be heavenly.

I currently get the Adventure Paths, the Companion, and the Chronicles series and I doubt I'm going to Pathfinder. I'm also not sure if I'm going to 4E. I just really like their work and they are fun reads. Great writers, editors, world-builders and fellow 'Hawkers deserve my money.

Dear 4E Player,

If Paizo had gone 4E, would you be buying their material?

Unlikely. I haven't liked what little of their stuff I've seen. I'd give it a chance, but not a second one.

My first instinct is "If they went 4E, I would not follow them."

But ... If Paizo and a few others all went solidly toward 4E, AND WotC got their stuff together regarding electronic support, AND a creative 3PP can find a way to strip off some of the stuff I don't like about 4E while keeping what I do like ... that's the kind of momentum that might start me drifting 4E's way, in time.

I never collected them prior. I unfortunately was taking a break from D&D around the time they started to really come into their own, so I missed out. I back in the game with 4e now, so still not playing a compatible game unfortunately.

I've downloaded some of their freebies, and looked over their products and I have to say that I am much more into the general look of their layout and art than 4e. The multi-cultural look is awesome, and the cool factor is way up there. I'm really picky about which third party houses I buy from, but Paizo would be at the top of my list if all that awesome were diverted to 4e. Not that I don't think the 3.5e folks don't deserve some high quality developers too. Everyone should be having fun! I'm just hoping a revised GSL might win us back a couple.

Sshhhh! All you 4E'ers be quiet. Paizo might hear you and ruin a good thing for us 3E'ers.

Wow. Couldn't've said it better myself.

Except maybe I'd add Mac support. <insert sound of can of worms opening>

Or... we could persuade them of injecting caffeine intravenously into the Paizo staff, so they can churn out stuff for BOTH of us!

I really hope something like that happens. While I like and play 4E, 3E (and hence 3.5E and Pathfinder) will always have a special place in my gaming heart, so I'm very glad to see it supported!

Cheers, LT.
