[QUOTE="Tallifer, post: 5808603, member: 84661"] My excitement for the Fifth Edition was rekindled yesterday afternoon at our Pathfinder game. Our group consists of devoted followers of almost every different edition of Dungeons & Dragons, but we really enjoy playing together in hilarious adventures and thrilling fights. We all agreed that it would be the best thing in the world if there really was an edition of Dungeons & Dragons which allowed us each to easily play the characters we want at the same table. Certainly the fact that we can all have fun playing Pathfinder one week and Old School the other week shows that it is possible for roleplayers to adjust their visions to different systems. But each of us would be happier with characters more similar to them which come from our favourite edition: certainly we would not have to learn a different rules system each time one of us started a new campaign. (In fact when our Pathfinder dungeon master goes back to Canada from Korea, another group member has already set up a 3.5 Birthright Campaign to follow. More new rules for me to learn! And you would be surprised how many real differences there are.) Therefore I think the Fifth Edition will offer this to Pathfinders: you will be able to play with a wider circle of happy people, and your group will be able to change campaigns dungeon masters more easily without people hesitating to join because this or that is not their edition. Plus I am sure that there are many players of Pathfinder like myself and my Old School friends who have other preferred editions, who would like a shot of that goodness in their Pathfinder. [/QUOTE]
