[QUOTE="RevTurkey, post: 7352326"] Hi all, I was looking at Pathfinder and their release schedule and it looks to me like they might be ready to announce a 2nd edition this year, probably at Gencon. They seem to be mirroring AD&D 1st Edition a little bit...that game wound down with the Wilderness Survival Guide and The Manual of the Planes....and what are Paizo releasing? Wilderness and Planar books towards what will probably be the end of the product’s life cycle...looks like a big similarity to me. D&D 5th Edition and it’s simplification (for better or worse...not trying to start any Ed’ war here) has captured the imagination and hearts of many old and new players and from a business point of view it would be unusual if Paizo didn’t respond to that with a new edition and some streamlining in my view. I’ve played some great games of Pathfinder but for my tastes it is a little bit bloated, especially the requirements to use books like the Advanced Players Guide or several bestiaries for some of the mid to late period Adventure Paths. I’d like them to make all modules and paths playable with the main rulebook and main bestiary in a new edition...with additional critters statted in the new publications. I would like to see new spells for the spiritual/worshipping classes like the Cleric. I think Magic User spells should be kept for themselves and not used to emulate Domain spells. A slight simplification of some rules would suit my tastes as I am not a very good DM at keeping track of lots of fiddly bits to remember but that is no deal breaker...each game has it’s own dial of complexity I guess. What would you all change/improve? What publication style would be best and what direction should the art take? Do you think it will be announced this year? Maybe a playtest? Answers on a postcard please....to...The Happy Goblin Inn, Hommlet :P [/QUOTE]
