I still own every 3.5 book and a few Pathfinder books, from which I run and play most of my games these days. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Pathfinder isn't perfect, but it is an incredibly well-designed game and in some ways better than 3.5 so I can't imagine switching anytime soon. I only recently started playing Pathfinder in the first place. I basically skipped 4e; it wasn't my style. I tried playing it on a few occasions in home games and the RPGA but ultimately decided it just wasn't for me. I am therefore somewhat skeptical of D&D Next. While I do feel nostalgic about D&D enough to purchase the core rulebooks and try it out, my impressions from the playtests (which I haven't played more than a single session of, though I've more of less kept up with the packets) has been that it might offer some good ideas, but ultimately won't end up being my game of choice. That could always change. I fully intend to at least give it a try. At the very least I look forward to participating in some RPGA games, whatever WotC has cooked up for the next incarnation of that. I thought LFR was a great shared campaign system, in many ways the best thing about 4e, with DM's Mark adventures and a wide variety of adventures to play. But it lacked the regional aspect of cohesiveness which made Living Greyhawk such an awesome campaign. If they could find a happy medium between the two I might just get involved with the RPGA again. I have long-term plans for my Pathfinder home campaign though and a solid group that enjoys the system and doesn't plan to convert. So if I do end up playing or running D&D Next, it will most likely be through the RPGA, depending on how well the next campaign is designed and managed.</p></blockquote><p></p>
