[QUOTE="hedgeknight, post: 8499065, member: 49396"] I was at Gen Con when the first edition of Pathfinder dropped. I had not intended to purchase yet another D&D "clone" (is that a fair comparison? maybe not), but I got caught up in the hoopla and jumped on it like a duck on a junebug. And I have to say, I immersed myself in it for years. Loved the Paizo forums, ran a game or two and played in several more. I began to lose interest when all of the character builds began to emerge. I realize that's part of the draw, but having cut my gaming teeth on B/X and 1E, I really didn't care for all of that. So, eventually I faded out, sold all my Pathfinder books, and returned to 1E & 2E. As with anything I've done in gaming, I regret selling my original books, but there is not enough of a draw to make me return...yet. And if I did, it would be to Pathfinder 1st Edition. I bought my last "shiny new edition" with D&D 5E, so I have zero interest in Pathfinder 2nd edition. Could part of the problem of interest and fan interaction have to do with Paizo's recent controversies? [/QUOTE]
