[QUOTE="JohnLynch, post: 6706705, member: 6749563"] I "came from" Pathfinder. The reason "came from" is in quote marks is because I do still play Pathfinder. 2 years ago I moved interstate and left two gaming groups. One played 4th edition while the other played Pathfinder. After moving I played various different games, none of them regularly. Pathfinder is the one I've kept abreast of and potentially played it the most. When 5th edition came out I started playing that regularly. However I'm now moving back to my old city and will resume playing with both of the gaming groups from 2 years ago. The 4th ed group has moved onto 5th ed while the Pathfinder group has continued playing Pathfinder. I'll be playing both. Why 5th edition? Technically because it's what one of the group's will be playing. But it, along with Pathfinder, are my games of preference. I enjoy it because it is rules light and is easy to quickly throw something together to run a session with. The rules are fairly robust and are also quite right which means a lot of character concepts can be realised with a minimum of rules. It's also a modern ruleset and uses modern sensibilities (unlike some OSR clones which are more faithful to the older styles of rules) but with a ruleset that helps engender that old school feeling. That said I do still enjoy Pathfinder as a rules heavy game. [/QUOTE]
