In October of 2007, Erik Mona started a thread asking Paizo fans what rule's set we wanted them to use.  <a href="http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/community/gaming/4thEdition/40PAIZOISSTILLUNDECIDED" target="_blank">I advise people to read it </a> and consider how many of us said we would go where Paizo went.  My own answer at the time was"That being said, if Paizo continues to maintain a quality product with a compelling adventure/story line that I enjoy, it won't matter to me whether you go 4.0 or stay 3.5, 3.75, 3.805 or whatever model you want to use. You could probably swatch [sic] to AD&D and I would dig out my old books and houserule the rules to my satisfaction and go with it."</blockquote>
