Not of Pathfinder's performance. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />To be clear, the "outselling" I was referring to was specifically book sales, which I think is the best long term measure of a Table-top RPG's strength (at least at the moment).  All the evidence points to Pathfinder outperforming the competition in this one area at the time in question and I have no legitimate reason to doubt it was so. I am pleased for Paizo, but would be happy for WotC to perform better and for the market to grow for everyone. I don't think of constructive analysis of the RPG market as edition warring. My point is not to rub 4e fans' faces in the dirt in triumph, saying, "see my game is better." I have a legitimate interest, as both a fan and a designer, in keeping abreast of developments in the market. I also enjoy discussing the ramifications of the evidence, such as it is, and I think it is relevant, in urging WotC to readopt the OGL for 5e, in pointing out the outstanding success of Paizo in utilizing this particular license to good effect for their brand. If there is edition warring, it is not on my part.</blockquote>
