[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 6204853, member: 59082"] If this is the case, then my recommendation for the "shadow dwellers" is: Get over it! Time to let go, move on, don't take things so seriously or personally! Join the fray and see what 5E has to offer. But I don't agree that the "old crew" is done with them. Certainly there's a sizable group of Pathfinder players that are happy with Paizo, and some older players who are into this or that retro-clone (or simply older edition of D&D). But I think a lot of 4E players, and plenty of others, are willing to give 5E a shot. Another thing to keep in mind is that a lot of folks - even the Paizo Faithful" - are going to pick up the core rulebooks. Maybe WotC is banking on the possibility that some of them might give the game a shot, and some might even like it. Agreed. It has worked well for Paizo. I think WotC could do something similar, but perhaps diversify a bit with a few different settings. But the adventures and settings combined make the game come alive in a way that 4E couldn't accomplish with the "points of light" approach. [/QUOTE]
