[QUOTE="Scrivener of Doom, post: 6058894, member: 87576"] I do believe that Next will fail without solid adventure support. One of the biggest problems with 4E was that two of its first three adventures - [I]Keep on the Shadowfell[/I] and the eternally execrable [I]Pyramid of Shadows[/I] - seemed to have been specifically designed to drive people to Pathfinder. In all of Mike Mearls' columns I have yet to see him really communicating that WotC gets the need for adventure support. The simple fact is that no matter how many people claim they generate all their own content, adventures are the lifeblood for a new edition because they actually show how the game plays. If you screw them up - as WotC did with 4E - you will lose customers. And it really bothers me, too, that Mike Mearls' name is on [I]Pyramid of Shadows[/I].... I think he really needs to start talking about adventure support. That's the shot in the arm that Next needs. I've always thought of Pathfinder as a campaign world plus adventures. The ruleset is not really the important part. Paizo seems to be very much about actually playing the game and its product line supports that. IMO, of course. [/QUOTE]
