Message: <blockquote data-quote="Reynard" data-source="post: 6545273" data-attributes="member: 467">It is certainly true that 5E is not designed to scratch the same itch as Pathfinder. I think that is a good thing: neither game benefits from direct competition, and both benefit from a broad player base. It is important to remember that Pathfinder did not try to compete with 4E either -- they staked their claim on a particular style of D&D and excelled at it. 5 E appears to be doing the same thing. It just so happens that style aligns with my preferences ( and those of some odd few million other gamers, it seems). I don't take umbrage with folks disliking the design choices of 5E -- again, I abandoned D&D during the 4 E years so I am hardly a WotC Internet white knight -- but I think it is a little disingenuous and narcissistic go say 5 E is incomplete or badly designed because it is not the D&D you wanted.As to the content issue, all I can say is I pine for the days when D&D was owned by a company whose primary interest was, in fact, D&D. I know the 2nd Ed years got a little ridiculous but I am certain D&D could support a product she duel (and therefore staff) on par with Pathfinder.</blockquote>
