[QUOTE="ShinHakkaider, post: 7779123, member: 9213"] 5E seems like a good game. But it's lack of customization and options (relative to Pathfinder) prevents it from being a game that I want to play or run long term. Not everyone wants their Fantasy RPG to be D&D 5E. It may be the 500lb gorilla right now but it's a relatively unappealing 500lb gorilla to me. I'm not a huge fan of Pathfinder 2E as it was in the playtest, but the playtest for 1E was different than the finished product which is something alot of people and johnny come lately's on the Paizo forums seem to either not know or have forgotten that fact. My plan is to continue running Pathfinder 1E using the massive amounts of material available. Run PF 2E to learn and get used to the system. I plan on using 5E only to run classic adventures like Keep on the Borderlands or a converted Village of Hommlet possibly for new players exclusively as an intro to RPG's. I love how there are alot of people here saying that PF2 may be DOA. I remember many years ago many people on this forum saying the same thing about PF1. Granted the D&D brand was a lot weaker then, but the thing that the popular kids need to understand is that not everyone WANTS to play D&D. There are other options and PF IS one of those options. Also in this hobby people are more likely to crap all over something that ISNT the thing that they like or something that they like that is being changed in some significant way. Like I said wasnt a big fan of the playtest as a whole. There WERE things that I absolutely liked, the action economy system for one. Anyway I can see how Paizo supporting 5E instead of continuing to support 1E is seen as a betrayal of sorts. I see the spot that they are in though. And to be honest if gamers we'rent so selfishly myopic they would see that buisness wise what Paizo is doing is absolutley the smart play. Have support for thier new system in the form of a deluxe version of an older AP. Have support for the popular system of choice and introduce those gamers to Paizo AP's. If it sells well enough Paizo will probably start to convert more older AP's to both 5E and PF2. PF1 has had TEN YEARS of support with crap loads of products. While players can still play and run games of PF1 until the cows come home it's time for Paizo to move on. [/QUOTE]
