[QUOTE="Azarin, post: 6413479, member: 75522"] I agree, Pathfinder is heavy on the rules. I can't imagine someone new to RPGs picking up Pathfinder and attempting to learn it. I'd take a stab and say most of us moved over from D&D, so learning Pathfinder wasn't a big change. I enjoy playing, but GMing Pathfinder is a lot of work. I haven't run a game in 2 yrs now, but just restarted playing, and enjoy being a player. I have however run a game of Numenera recently and find the rules very easy to learn, it could easily be re-skinned into high fantasy if you want that D&D feel. DnD 4E was easy to run, but I tired of the long battles. I hope 5E is better. If Pathfinder makes a change, I hope it is to simplify the GMing. I have been looking at Herolab's new Realmworks. They claim to eventually have software modules available. I think that would make it much easier to run a game, It would be so nice to just hover your cursor over a rule, spell, feat, etc, and get an answer. I prefer to get a good story out of a game, rather than spend time working out, or learning complicated game mechanics. What would you like to see if Pathfinder does a revamp? [/QUOTE]
