[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 8835628, member: 907"] "From the moment that 4th Edition had been announced, we had trepidations about many of the changes we were hearing about. Jason's report confirmed our fears—4th Edition didn't look like the system we wanted to make products for." is how you phrase "Hell no" in a relatively diplomatic fashion. If you keep reading the blog post, you'll see that Bulmahn had his own house rules for 3.5e that he was planning on releasing outside of Paizo – I'm guessing on a scale similar to [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/64009/Trailblazer']Trailblazer[/URL]. But Paizo took that idea and ran with it and had him and others develop it into a full-fledged RPG. But unless you're saying Lisa Stevens is lying in the blog post, Pathfinder RPG was not a foregone conclusion. I think that in the short run at least, she would probably have been happier if 4e were more to the tastes of her and her designers, and had been released under the OGL so they could have focused on the stuff they were good at: adventures. I would be very surprised if Critical Role did anything of the sort. I think that if anyone's going to release the next D&D Heartbreaker, it will be MCDM. Matt seems to have some very specific ideas on how he wants the game to run, heavily influenced by both old-school D&D and 4e, and once they're done with their monster book I could see them moving into other rules.
