[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7353933, member: 6925649"] How many of you like plunking another $150 for another 3 main core rulebooks? I've got mine! I like playing 3.5 D&D too, I'd much rather they publish more adventures than more editions of their game, force you to learn new rules, but hey, if you like learning new rules, there is always 4th and 5th edition D&D. One of the things about Pathfinder that has attracted a lot of games is they don't like learning lots of new rules, if Pathfinder publishes 2nd Edition Pathfinder, there is no reason why people wouldn't decide they like 5th edition D&D better. The one reason to go to Pathfinder would be eliminated if they published new and very different rules. The first question to ask is why would it be better than 5th edition D&D? I'll give you another example, how about the board game Monopoly? The rules for that have remained static, they haven't published new Rules for Monopoly, and first Edition AD&D was around for a very longtime, before they got into the habit of publishing new editions every few years. Lots of people like to play chess, and they don't want to learn new rules for chess, they have grown accustomed to the old rules. Mostly new rules don't do anything for me. I've gotten used to 3rd edition D&D, and I like Pathfinder the way it is because it is similar to 3rd edition. 4th and 5th Editions of D&D don't do anything for me. I have the 5th edition, and if anything, I might be tempted to translate 5th edition adventures into 3rd edition or Pathfinder. 4th edition is way too hard to do this, they changed too many things! I get my kicks out of playing the game, not learning new rules. [/QUOTE]
