[QUOTE="marv, post: 5810483, member: 52903"] I think the strongest case for PF is the company and people behind it. Pro: * Paizo treats it customers very well. Their message board feels like a community. While, WoTC's message board feels like Facebook. * High quality full sized hard bound books. While WoTC's seems to have switched to a small softbound format. * Excellent writing. * High quality APs. * RPGSuperstar makes you feel included in the design club (even if you don't make the top 32). * Print and PDFs for every product. Con: * No beholders, mind fleyers, etc. Many missing iconic monsters and other WoTC IP. I am extremely happy with the high quality product Paizo puts out. And when I say that, I am not refering to the rules. The rules are solid enough. This is something that I hope WoTC comes to understand: Even if 5th Ed. rules kick PF rules butt (metaforticaly speeking) there is still so much more that PF has going for it. Just look at the quality of the PF GM/DM screen? Look at the quality of the Gamemastery product line? The quality of the art? The quality of the adventures? The word cound per page (compared to 4th Ed.). The reading level of those words. In other words, there are many small estetic aspects of PF that Paizo, as a company, has built into it. When I open a DnD/PF book, the presentation is just as important as the rules I read on the page. I buy such books to get inspired. Otherwise, I will only get the 5th Edition Players handbook and stop (like I did with 4th edition). [/QUOTE]
