I look forward to the old-school vs. 2nd edition Pathfinder wars. Then the Pathfinder Renaissance (PFR) around 2029.

  1. First I heard of this. I actually like things about Pathfinder, just not the game itself. Maybe that'll change.

  2. Somehow someone will posit that this is proof that the OSR "won"

  3. There's already been skirmishes with the Starfinder faction. Pathfinder purists HATE any kind of streamlining!

  4. I miss the simple days when we frolicked in green fields with only 48 character classes and 52 races

  5. Because I’ll be dead from Apocslypse Engine contamination, I’m putting my 2 slugs in now:p6codex.com - P6 Codex: E6 + Pathfinder

  7. Bryan Mullins I had no idea the PSR had already started! Now we need old-school Adventure Paths like they had in the early 2000's.

  8. OSR vs Pathfinder? Aren't we actually looking at a Pathfinder offensive vs D&D5e?

  9. Just a joke, Paul. This is for sure a response to the resurgent popularity of D&D brand D&D. Pathfinder had a large market share during the 4e days. Must have shrunk.

  10. pathfinder can only improve, just like 4e could only improve. 3e was 18 years ago.

    as a person that plays pathfinder I really hope that the new edition streamlines this somewhat. I'm pretty sure that at least 10-15 minutes per session is spent trying to interpret a rule, of which there are many, and of which even more are ignored.

  11. My first reaction was "hey they're copying 5e!" but some of the action stuff that they're doing could be interesting? E6 is awesome though Bryan Mullins, hits the sweet spot for those kind of mathy build games and actually being able to play them.

  12. I'm still giggling at "Pathfinder purists," Jay Exonauts.

  13. Good god... imagine the horror of owning the complete library of all 637 Pathfinder books, only to witness the rise of Pathfinder 2nd Ed.

  14. The Pathfinder 2.0 story was the last thing I saw before leaving Facebook and so many reactions amounted to "why does Paizo have to be a business and make money though? That's not fair to me!"

    Fucking nerds, nothing changes

  15. Mike Overbo Oh, it could get much worse. D&D4 was terrible to me.

  16. May the odds be ever in your favor.

  17. Jason Bell, I'm reasonably certain that the state of tabletop RPGs will never get worse than the 4e period. I hope those days are behind you.

    Now we have so many choices, besides the always-present "don't upgrade"
