Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 6222072" data-attributes="member: 158">The point lutecius makes about Pathfinder shouldnt be taken too lightly -- it took advantage not only of the company employees' pedigrees in D&D, but also the network externalities of a majority (or at least plurality) of the existing D&D player base, and stuck to what that base wanted -- the customers that WotC accidentally excluded when they tried to get away from the OGL. Then, the license worked exactly as intended, and the owners of D&D were supplanted as sellers of the most popular RPG in the market.However, don't forget that this also traps Paizo, as well -- if they don't want to be supplanted themselves, they cant make too many radical changes to PF for the same reason -- a majority of the player base has to want the change or they're not moving.</blockquote>
