[QUOTE="Perram, post: 5435917, member: 84740"] I just don't think it will be a good idea for Pathfinder to try to support two different games that compete for the same audience. I also don't see the value in a rules light version of PF at all, considering that there are tons of rules light versions of d20 fantasy and D&D like fantasy freely available. Microlite20, OSRIC, S&W, E6, and I'm sure nearly a dozen others exist out there for that niche. [I] What would a rules lite Pathfinder bring to this table?[/I] I also can not see how PF has entered a state of 'Rules Bloat' already, Treebore, when there is only one major splat book available for the game since its release and only 2 more in production for the whole next year. There are incidental crunch bits in the various campaign materiels... but they are minor and only a few bits of crunch per title and it is always themed to the title, meaning if you aren't using that sourcebook / region, it would be unlikely to use the material. Doubly so if you aren't using Golarion as a campaign setting at all. Also, unless you are GMing Pathfinder Society... I don't see how rules bloat would be a problem even if there were a flood of material available as you just play with the books you've got... there is no need at all to keep adding material you have no desire for to your game.
