Pathfinder OGL/3.5 RPG system from Paizo

[trancejeremy]

Hmmmm. After looking over the alpha rules, I like some of it, but other parts I don't, like them combining some of the skills. There's a pretty big difference between being able to pick someone's pockets and opening a lock. And Forgery being part of "Linguistics"? That's just weird. Forging a document has nothign to do with knowing languages. If you want to get rid of it, make it "Craft-Forgery"

Also, is it just me, or are other PDFs missing "A"s in the headings? (Well, whenever a large font is used, like "T ble of Contents" " LPH RELE SE 1"

Great News!

Quite the bold move for Paizo! I am very excited about the news. It feels like paizo has really positioned themselves well. Pathfinder will basically be using a 3.75 rule set and Necro will be their 4th ed brand. Sign me up!

This is how playtesting should be.

Awesome stuff!

This is EXCELLENT news! I hope Paizo does extremely well with their Pathfinder RPG.

Cool! Shoot your feedback over to the Paizo site. That's the awesome thing about an open beta playtest. Your opinions matter! Rock!

I love the cleric and wizard so far. Nice.

I'm not a fan of spell resistance as a subsystem and am sorry to see it still in place. But I've already house ruled it out of my 3.5 game and am sure I can do the same with Pathfinder.

Thanks Eric.

Just because a rule currently is in there, does not mean that we will not change it if a better idea comes along. I would love to hear what you have done with SR.

I will be buying and playing 4e, however it seems like Pathfinder could get some of my time and money.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again; you simply cannot head off forking of the OGL with another license, because that's the way that the OGL was designed. This will either end up taking some of 4e's design elements (not all, surely), or this game will be the Castles and Crusades to someone else's OSRIC -- in other words, the guide post that shows the way to a 4e-mimicking OGL game.

But for what it is right now, it's an awesome milestone; I hope it goes far and gives Paizo some strong economic legs for many years.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

I've made my decision. I will be buying the 4E core rulebooks and the first two Forgotten Realms books for 4E, but the buck will stop there. After that I'll be sticking with 3.X.

THANKS PAIZO!!

Wow.

I'm impressed.

I already have the alpha version and have been going through it... It's sort of a best of both worlds from my perspective. It has some of the things I liked about 4E, without some of the stuff I did not like.
