[QUOTE="Badkarmaboy, post: 4115296, member: 39489"] 1st- Reading Wolfspider defending Paizo cracks me up. For a couple posts the shoe had found the other foot.. 2nd- Having spent some time reading the alpha rules, I can honestly say I wouldn't be all that interested in running Pathfinder even if I wasn't going 4E. They're touting total compatibility, but I'm not seeing it. Most of it looks similar, but different enough that you can't run existing 3.x as written. Read the conversion rules in the back. Sure you can do it, but it's another layer of work that I certainly don't have time for. Also, total compatibility is great to talk about now, but it doesn't sell supplements. Adventure paths are great and they do a great job at them, but once the ruleset is released in 2009 they'll want to move splatbooks and they can't do that if it's all just like what you've already got. In some ways it's similar to 3.0-3.5. Similar enough to be familiar, but different enough that you've got to adapt it. 3rd- How many folks are going to ding Paizo over "anime" influence? I have to admit, the race illos are pretty darn anime inspired! I've seen plenty of it in the Pathfinder mods (I was a subscriber until recently). I don't care myself, but I'm interested to see if folks will bring it up given the wotc anime furor. 4th- Scorpion Style, Gorgon's Fist, Medusa's Wrath...c'mon everyone, let's hear some catty remarks about Paizo's silly naming conventions! I kid, of course. I just thought those names were similar enough to some of the wotc naming patterns everyone loves to bag on that I'd point them out. Wotc's names never bugged me and neither do these for that matter. [/QUOTE]
