[QUOTE="xechnao, post: 4119744, member: 58105"] You are right ;) and so back on topic I would like to better point out that IMO Paizo's decision was the best one for the hobby overall and I am 100% glad things have gone the way they have and of course I wish Paizo not to fail in this path. Market share better always be divided than monopolized either by a game system, either by a company. It is in the best interest of the hobby -even for Wotc. Some people on this thread have pointed out that Paizo's decision was ill suited for the future of rpgs. Couldn't they have been further from the truth IMO. Wotc's D&D has been perceived as the very big one hobby leader not due to limitations of the hobby's nature, but rather due to the OGL experiment -and I dare say that I am glad to believe that things seem to be evolving to a point that there might be a chance for this model to change -even if only slightly. I am not talking only about Paizo's decision here, but rather Wotc's passage past the OGL. Of course Paizo has its indispensable role to take -for this to make sense the way I put it here. And my very personal preference among Pathfinder and 4e -from what I have seen so far, till now- goes to the first. :) [/QUOTE]
