[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 8093114, member: 12731"] I tend to think and say what I believe in. Isn't that the purpose of a discussion forum? You might not be aware of it, but what you're doing is effectively trying to bring down the level of discourse to an accusatory, personal level. I will simply not respond to that other than to as cheerfully as I'm able to ask you: If all you can do is accuse me of having an agenda (a "bias-based" one at that) maybe it's time to reconsider my arguments. Maybe they hold a grain of truth? No, "do it more like 5E" isn't shorthand for "I hate diversity in gaming mechanisms". It's shorthand for "5E is a really good product with really good implementations of many issues that have plagued D&D for decades" I think Paizo made a mistake in misreading the market. 5E fundamentally changed the market. The market is no longer nearly as receptive to games of 3E/4E levels of complexity as Paizo clearly assumes, something they could have realized if they opened up their development process to what their competitor has been doing for the last five years. I have played lots of systems and read up on countless more. While I thank you for your suggestions (the SotDL one is especially on point) I hope we can agree it's hardly a fatal flaw not to have experience with precisely these two. Now you'll have to excuse me but I want to return back to discussing the game :) [/QUOTE]
