[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 6387532, member: 2205"] It sounds more like [I]Unearthed Arcana[/I] for Pathfinder than anything else, but maybe they'll go more out of the box on that. Part of what sparked this line of thought was the old dichotomy between D&D--which was a line of boxed sets (B/X and then BECMI) that was--in theory--more rules lite and more catering to roleplayers, etc. vs. AD&D which was (in theory) more rules heavy and more catering to dungeoncrawling and tournament-worthy gaming, etc., yet were both more or less compatible with each other. Since Pathfinder is pretty much the epitome of rules-heavy gaming, I wondered if there was a market for a variant on the system that was more rules-lite, yet compatible with existing material, or something like that. Of course, the prevailing wisdom was that splitting the player base was a bad idea for D&D, but then again; once you have a saturated customer base, you have to do [I]something[/I] different. Clearly some folks think that we're a long way away from saturation, but I'm running out of products that I'm interested in on the forecast. [/QUOTE]
