You’re right. Which I realized seconds after posting and rereading the original announcement.

I believe the 4e adventure path you speak of is through Necromancer Games, who will be published by Paizo. Paizo is doing their Pathfinder stuff 3.5

I’m confused. Paizo IS publishing 4e stuff, they’ve even announced an adventure path. Pathfinder is the only thing “staying 3.5.” Paizo is in a position, where WotC isn’t, to allow gamers discontent with 4e to continue with 3.5 but not I’m not sure if this is as huge a PR blow as you’re supposing.

True20 is not for everyone, granted. But it is darned good if you ask me.

I don’t know what everyone sees in True20. I love mutants and masterminds, and have even used it for D&D; adventures, but I would take 3.5 or Pathfinder RPG over True20 any day.

Honestly… if Steve Kenson were designing the Pathfinder RPG, I might purchase it.

As it is… I will look, but most likely avoid it. I will just use True20 (and occasionally, my old AD&D; 1e stuff) for this sort of gaming…

Well, retro-clones seem very popular, so having a professionally produced and supported D&D; 3.5 clone is probably viable. But there are a lot of them out there - Pathfinder, True20, and all the d20-based licensed properties.

Then on a grassroots level, there's OSRIC, Labyrinth Lord, and even all the used copies of Rules Cyclopedia and the boxed D&D; sets, and I'm sure I've overlooked a lot of others.

It's a crowded market, and someone is going to have to fall by the wayside. But I agree that Pathfinder is strongly positioned in the retro-market, so it probably won't be them...

Re not being interested in yet another D&D; system: But which one are you referring to, Pathfinder (which will be essentially D&D; 3.5, maybe with a few tweaks) or D&D4e; (which will be an entirely new system)?

I think they are making a mistake. I like Paizo, but I’m not interested in yet another DnD system.
