[QUOTE="Scurvy_Platypus, post: 5551830, member: 43283"] I'd be interested if it was actually a simpler rule system. But a gutted version with limited levels so that people will move on to the "full" Pathfinder game... *shrug* People would be a lot less nostalgic about BECMI if TSR had said, "Here's 5 levels. When you're ready, buy the full AD&D game." How many people are nostalgic about the D&D Starter Kit? You know, this one: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Game-Dungeon-Dragons-Roleplaying/dp/0786934093]Amazon.com: D&D Basic Game (Dungeon & Dragons Roleplaying Game: Core Rules) (9780786934096): Wizards of the Coast: Books[/ame] I'm not really seeing a difference between that and the Paizo thing. I'd be happy to be wrong though. I realise that the realities of the rpg market are such that having 2 different product lines like Basic and AD&D isn't practical, but I personally can't get too excited about a neutered set of rules either.
