[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 4550702, member: 7394"] I don't personally like calling it 3.75. I like to think about it as an alternate new edition of D&D. Or better yet, it's a new game that is born from a previous edition of a different game. Sure, it's splitting hairs, but calling it 3.75 implies that the changes between it and 3.5 are relatively minor. They're not. The parts of the game that don't affect overall compatibility with 3.5 adventures are modified heavily, making the differences more along the lines of what you would expect in an edition change. 3.5 was at a point where it was time for an edition change. There were problems with it that had become apparent. Some people want a new edition that fixes 3.5. Other people want a new approach altogether. 4e goes right, Pathfinder goes left. Divergent directions. But they're both valid. Neither one is going to make everybody happy, neither one is the "right" approach, but both seem to have made a lot of people very happy. People aren't going to agree on what the right approach is, but if people are happy with the game they've chosen, who cares? [/QUOTE]
