Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shemeska" data-source="post: 5725450" data-attributes="member: 11697">The ship has probably sailed since I'm pretty dang happy with Pathfinder as my D&D of choice, plus I'm rather invested in PF's Golarion campaign setting.That said, if WotC published certain campaign settings using whatever their 5e rules set ends up being, and which --remain faithful to those settings without rewriting/gutting/trampling upon them as in IMO 4e FR and to a lesser extent the use of Planescape and Ravenloft in 4e-- then I would happily buy those setting products. But no 4e tropes involved; that's a deal breaker right there. I won't purchase anything 5e FR for instance unless they retcon it back to pre-Spellplague/pre-4e.I want back a lot of stuff that 4e threw out and proudly giggled about in the process. It leaves a sufficient distaste in my mouth that they've probably lost me as a customer unless they swallow some pride and go back on some of the more radical design decisions they made in 4e as they move towards 5e.Publishing 5e versions of Ravenloft, FR, or Planescape prior to their getting hamhandedly forcefit to 4e tropes = a direct line to my bank account. The rules literally mean nothing to me, and it's the integrity of those campaign settings' flavor that makes me spend $. Between 2e and 3e the rules changed but the flavor was more or less intact, while both rules and flavor radically changed with 4e - and it was the wholesale lore/flavor/fluff changes that killed it for me. I want to play those settings, not core PoL 4e pervasively forced into them all.</blockquote>
