[QUOTE="Dannager, post: 5502187, member: 73683"] Quit the posturing. If this had been about Pathfinder Society and someone had suggested that in order to increase participation you ought to consider advocating Pathfinder more strongly, you wouldn't have had a complaint. It wasn't stated to read nicely. It was stated to read matter-of-factly. What? I'm not in the habit of ragging on games I have no interest in just to make me feel better about my game of choice. When I say that he should focus on the things 4e does better than Pathfinder, that doesn't mean I'm saying that 4e is better than Pathfinder. It means that I'm acknowledging that differences between the two exist, and that one system might put emphasis and design effort towards things the other does not. Therefore, there will be parts of one game that are more enjoyable, and parts of the other game that are more enjoyable, to differing degrees. He should focus on what makes 4e great, instead of trying to show them that they can have the same Pathfinder-esque experience in 4e. While the latter can certainly be done (and it's something I'm pretty into), it's not the best way to show off the merits and draw of 4e. From your following paragraph it appears that we both agree on the same things. Next time, don't read too far into what I'm saying. Not every sentence that comes out of a "partisan's" mouth is a volley in the edition wars. [/QUOTE]
