[QUOTE="Peraion Graufalke, post: 4979702, member: 81950"] The thing is, Pathfinder would've been impossible without the OGL which came into being in 2001 (?); licensed third-party support basically started with 3e. Before that, people who were dissatisfied with a new edition of D&D either kept playing the old (usually with lots of houserules) or switched to another RPG entirely, something which happened a lot among my gaming buddies when 3e came out (out of more than two dozen gamers I'd known personally, only three or four even tried 3e). And from what I've read, PF is basically an "officially houseruled and supported" 3.x, so to speak. Looking back at the heated reactions back in 2000/2001 - and I was among the "2e grognards" back then - IMO you'd have to assign the label of polarization to 3e, too. ;) Regarding the beer, I'll settle for a milkshake or a cup of hot chocolate instead ;).
