D&D 4E What to Name a Fan-Written 'Pathfinder of 4e'?

[RangerWickett]

Well, there were numerous other associated house rules, changes to the assumptions of how often people heal, etc. Let me see if it's any good anymore.


Edit: Now that I look at it again, I made more changes than I remembered. It's no longer really compatible with 4e, just spiritually related. Still interested?

 

[Ferghis]

Yes.

Here's the skeleton.

I would have gone with Pathforder -- Similar to pathfinder and fourth, plus a ford is a crossing, which makes it like a double pun!

As you may know -- hey, I'm being optimistic here! -- I'm writing a 4e revamp. A sort of 4e Pathfinder, except not concerned with backwards compatibility.

How about "Please Sue Me, Hasbro?"

Pathfinder was possible because 3e was Open Source. A "Pathfinder of 4e" would be an exercise in copyright and trademark violation. Even if you danced the dance just right and created a near clone of 4e that didn't technically violate any Hasbro copyrights, you'd still have to defend it in court - and what fan has the money to do that?

If you want something in a similar vein to Pathfinder, how about Trailblazer?

Nah, not really
