[QUOTE="subbob, post: 4121046, member: 20554"] First, I'm very pleased to see that folks from Paizo - Erik Mona and Joshua Frost - are closely following the discussion and posting as well. I truly appreciate it when decision makers engage in such conversations and, as in Joshua's case, respond directly with definitive answers and do not talk in double speak. Second, as others have stated, this need not be about "WoTC vs. Paizo" - I'll probably buy the 4E core books to "complete my collection" but I'll be doing it through clenched teeth. Lastly, if there are others like myself, that have not actively played in a long time, this "open playtest" may bring them out of the shadows. I just send the Alpha PDF to a local Kinkos to have it printed and spiral bound. I'm psyched about having the opportunity to be involved in shaping the direction of this new D&D variant. In my collection, I have every Dragon Magazine published since around issue #20 and every Dungeon Magazine as well as hundreds of modules & supplements from TSR, WoTC and third party publishers. This announcement by Paizo has energized me more than anything else in the last few years. I work with and teach LOTS of folks that, like me, "used to play" D&D. They talk of it fondly and we've discussed getting a campaign going. If, as I believe, there are a good number of people in the same position - this has the potential of rejunevating more than just a younger generation. It may just bring back hundreds, or thousands, of players that only needed a nudge to get involved again. Anyone reading this that wants to do any Pathfinder playtesting in the Kansas City metropolitan area, please drop me a private message as I'll be looking for some opportunities. [/QUOTE]
