I've been a huge fan of Paizo's over the past few years while I haven't been liking the direction WotC is taking D&D. I've worked with Jason since the LG days and he and I think a lot alike. For those of us who feel there is no need for a new game (which 4e is), he has made some most agreeable amendments, a few of which I use myself as house rules. From the looks of their alpha rules, the vast majority of my 3.5 collection will be safe and backwards compatible, which is a very convincing argument in the decision with whether or not to invest in 4e.Just to be clear, I don't hate 4e or WotC. I don't fault WotC for acting rationally. However, I do not personally see the need to invest in a brand new game if Paizo is capable of delivering me a quality product that is compatible with 80-90% of my old stuff. 4e looks like it will be a great game so far, but I don't see it as an improvement on 3.5 so much as I see it as simply a new game. Saying 4e is an improvement on 3.5 is like saying Life is an improvement on Monopoly. Both games involve paper money, a board with pieces, and various financial investment decisions, and one was, to an extent, inspired by the other, but they are still quite different games with different strategies and aims. In this case, I think I will prefer making a few adjustments to my "Monopoly" rather than going out to buy a whole new game.</blockquote>
