I just saw the Paizo announcement of Pathfinder (basically 3.75).  I've returned from DDXP full of warmth and good cheer about WOTC and the new edition of the game.  But I have to carry that around with a pretty strong bad taste in my mouth for the way they've handled the GSL and put Paizo in a position where they really had no choice but to go their own way.  This is going to divide the community.  I think there will be enough faithful to keep Paizo going, give them the customer base they need to keep the doors open and keep producing the best APs that have been produced. This doesn't change my plans, though.  I'm still going 4e. It has been our intention all along to break out of the AP rut and create our next campaign ourselves, so I wouldn't have been using a Paizo AP out of the box again, anyway.   In a perfect world I'd buy both game systems and keep up on both, but I don't know if that's going to be possible.  If they had continued along parallel paths I probably would have continued to subscribe to Pathfinder . . . maybe I still will for a while, and see . . .But I can forsee a time when I have moved enough into the 4e world that I'm not even using a few dribs and drabs out of the pathfinder stuff.  And . . . yet . . . I make my living in my day job thanks to open source software, and that makes it even harder to turn away from the game that has that OS philosophy behind it.  Meh.  I need a drink. -john</blockquote>
