[QUOTE="Jan van Leyden, post: 4115547, member: 20307"] Interesting. So now Paizo is destined to become the haven (or heaven?) for all the 4e/WotC haters? I wonder how they manage their conversion to 4e two years from now. Will they abandon their loyal customers? Or will they succeed in convincing them that 4e is the best thing since sliced bread from that point on? I don't like the fact that Pathfinder will be another new take on 3.5. We already have different approaches (True20, Arcana Evolved, C&C, etc.) and now Paizo wants to introduce yet another flavour? For me, this shows a weakness of the whole OGL thing. Instead of jointly working on the evolution of a cohesive system, all publishers do their own thing, fragmenting their part of the market even further. I wonder what Ryan Dancey's view of this development is... On thing looks quite interesting in the announcement: that 3.5/Pathfinder allows them to tell the stories they want to tell. Does this mean that their campaign world is not suitable for 4e stories? Will Paizo have to develop another world to place their 4e APs and other products in? Well, I sincerely wish Mrs. Stevens and her crew the best of luck with their new endeavour!
