Message: <blockquote data-quote="Campbell" data-source="post: 6186092" data-attributes="member: 16586">At its heart Pathfinder is a game that knows what it wants to be. It's a purist for system, deep setting immersion with a high level of crunch delivered in discrete pieces that interact with each other in a number of permutations. In short, it's more like 3e than 3e ever was. It delivers something a good deal of the community wants. It's a hardcore game built by hardcore players for hardcore players. It's a game that I think will be around for a long time. It's also a game I have little to no interest in playing or GMing.Do I think there's a portion of current Pathfinder players who will find something in other games to grasp on to? Absolutely. The entire community is well served by diversity of play. If Pathfinder fits what someone is looking for in a game less well than other games than they should play those other games. Still, I don't see it going anywhere. It might have to share the spotlight with games that emphasize other parts of D&D's heritage, but as long as the game stays as focused as it already is I believe it will always have a sizable audience. In fact I feel like Paizo is much better suited to catering to its core audience than Wizards will ever be.</blockquote>
