[QUOTE="Ednoc, post: 7077638, member: 6815535"] Hey guys, I was wondering what was the difference between these two different games ? "A lot" you're thinking. I played Pathfinder a little, and I'm interested by N.E.W and old who just came out recently. Then, I discovered Starfinder lately and... They look both awesome. So I was wondering if they are aiming same public... I heard that N.E.W introduced some dog fight in space, that look like a wargame. Which is not a good point. I guess. But eh, I don't have test it so I can't tell. I went to Starfinder subforum and I saw a lot of little figs, maps, some artworks etc... But I don't know what think of all that. Can someone explain to me what these game are about ? Are they focusing on trying to be some sort of wargaming with a bit of roleplaying game, are they trying to be both... ? One seems to be close to Enworld (Am I right ?) and one is published by a well-known editor. Quality of work is independant of that but, I know Paizo and if they are going what they did to Pathfinder, there are going to add a lot (A LOT) of add-on to their setting. Which can be cool... But really expansive. So, I'll try to be concise and ask some questions, can someone know... ? - Which one is more combat-oriented ? - Are they aiming same audience ? - Which one is the less heavy in terms of rules ? - I know that Starfinder isn't out yet. But I suppose that a lot of you, who are big fans of Pathfinder/WOIN, maybe or just waiting for some Sci-fi settings, are aware of what make them different. - I won't ask "Which one is going to be better than the other ?" Because... It semms obivous that the answer is going to be suggestive. And I'm not here to create an argument here. Thanks by advance. :) [/QUOTE]
