Pathfinder 1E [Pathfinder] Planning on switching to Pathfinder?

[Darrin Drader]

I've been running the beta for the past year, so this won't exactly be switching for me.

 

[EroGaki]

Yup, will be switching, although we will more than likely house rule the spell changes back to their 3.5 versions.

 

[Wicht]

We've been using Beta since it came out. We will switch to the finished product when I get it next week.

Nope, no plans on playing Pathfinder. I run games for two groups, and play in another, and every group is sticking with 4e, with no interest in Pathfinder. Honestly, its not different enough from 3e (which was every group's least preferred version of D&D) for us to give it a shot. Thats cool though, Pathfinder isn't aimed at people like me.

Switching, no. Using as a deep source of house rules and as a reference to use with future Paizo adventure material? Oh yes.

Along with True20 (which I have yet to purchase) and other 3PP D20 derived FRPGs, that is the role I see for Pathfinder in my collection.

I definitely plan on adapting Pathfinder material, especially their superb adventure paths and Golarion stuff, to 4e and my own homebrews, but as for rules I want to remove myself from the 3e days.

Its strange, but in their own way Paizo continues to be my number one third party resource, even for the new D&D edition, without having to print a single stat block or GSL stamp of approval. With the ease it is to create and manipulate 4e design with things like the Character and Monster Builder, the ideas are what become the hot commodity, and the writing of course. That's what I love most about Paizo and Pathfinder.

My existing campaign will stay 3.5, possibly with some houserules/subsystems swiped from Pathfinder, but I think new campaigns will be PFRPG.

 

[Shemeska]

For my next campaign, most certainly. It's very likely to be a planar Golarion game.

But sticking with 3e (yes 3e, not 3.5) for the remainder of my current campaign.

 

[Vael]

Switching? No.
Willing to play? Yes.
Willing to DM? NO.
Adapt Golarion for a 4e campaign? Maybe.

 

[Remathilis]

To be honest? No.

We just started two new 3.5 games (one I play, one I DM) and so far the opinions on Pathfinder seems to be "meh." For me, I'm not sure I like how they changed the classes. It seems many classes (cleric, wizard) got pointless upgrades in power in exchange for spells being weaker and weaker, while other resource classes (barbarian, bard) got round-to-round resource management that seems a pain to manage. Overall, I'd have preferred they fix 3.5 by making it simpler, not more complex.

We're happy with our 3.5 houserules (after deciding 4e is not for us) so far. However, I will look at the final PDF (both the Core Rules and Tome of Secrets) to make my final decision.

But from the previews, it looks like they broke more than they fixed...
