[QUOTE="catsclaw, post: 4137483, member: 59911"] I said Pathfinder was being released under the 3.5 OGL. Which it is. You then argued it wouldn't be very compatible:I [i]then[/i] said they hadn't promised complete compatibility. Which they haven't. And you argued:So what [b]is[/b] your position? I'm not going to take crap from you arguing both sides of the issue. For the record: my position is that Pathfinder will be released under the 3.5 OGL, but there are likely to be rules changes which make it somewhat incompatible with vanilla 3.5. In the Alpha, those changes are extensive. They've promised those changes will be reduced, and they say compatibility is one of their primary goals, but it's clear they're not committing to complete compatibility.So it's good I [b]never argued that point[/b]. You originally said:I showed you a [b]whole thread[/b] of people who saw some adventures and decided to buy into a game system, point unseen, because of the quality of them. I never said those people in the Paizo thread had never played D&D before. I never said they had never played 3.5 before. I was showing you that [i]some[/i] gaming groups [i]do[/i] make their buying decisions based on the adventures rather than the system--and that's proved equally well by the number of people saying they would have switched to 4e if Paizo did. I understand you think it was a poor example, and everyone on that thread is lying. You can believe the OGL is a plot of the Trilateral Commission, for all I care. But please stop lying about my position. [/QUOTE]
