[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 6543880, member: 957"] I think you are right. I'd argue that "fortunate" isn't really the right word. The economy today is very different than the 80s. Paizo has been quite savvy in fan support and engagement, while minimizing the impact of middlemen. Not being liked by dinosaurs who have not keeled over yet is not a big deal from a business perspective. No offense to the wonderful people who run some of the brick and mortars out there. And certainly no intent to put words in Paizo's mouth, they take relationships much more serious than what I just said. But I'm only talking about the business implication. But I again agree with you. I'm very curious to see where Pathfinder (and Paizo) stand 12 months from now. Pathfinder would be an old game in this age if it wasn't built on a well covered chassis. But it seems to have a stable base, for now. Will that base hold on and on? Will 5E kill it? Will 5e burn out quickly? It will be interesting and will almost certainly include events no one expects.
