To fully engage in the hobby, you need a steady supply of quality product to excite you about spending money, and you need a community of like-minded individuals. It doesn't matter how good the game is, if you are not spending money on it, you are not engaged. The act of spending money on a regular basis turns games into hobbies.The number of people playing 3.5 and not actively engaged as a hobby are as significant as the number of people playing 1e or 2e-- similarly dead systems. I completely agree. Quite a while back when this "3.75e" conversation first came up, I among others remarked that it would be impossible to find two people with the same vision of what 3.75 had to fix.But I think it's possible (and obviously preferable) to find some baseline agreements. It is much easier for me to add to the baseline (say, Action Points that drive a per-encounter system), than it is for someone else to strip that out of "their" core.These are pretty obvious concerns. I assume Paizo is on the ball.</blockquote>
