4th & Dragon : Dungeons and Dragons...and stuff

I’m with Darth Carnivore.  I’m a fan of 3.x and am fairly resistant to most of the changes that 4e brings.  I do like some of the changes to skills and combat but the character creation seems like a step backwards to me.  I could go more in depth but I feel like that topic is a dead horse at this point. 

Pathfinder DOES look interesting.  Honestly, I’m hoping it gets a large backing and I think that some of the choices made surounding 4e are going to give it a good chance.  Honestly, there are still some 3e books that I would like but my $ has been put to other priorities lately.

i really love the 4e so far and now that i have my own hard copies i can investigate further. I was wondering what people think of pathfinder the 3.75 edition. so far from what i read they tried to add some depth to the game and ended up with rifts

After reading through 4e, I realized that they had somehow managed to make me feel satisfied with my purchase, and somehow, at the same time, hungry to buy more supplements. It kind of scares me.

*shudders* im real hungry

While I dont “love” 4e, I will give it an honest shot.  Once I get back into the ‘swing’ of gaming regularly that is.

Priest of Asmodeus: I’ll let you know. I’m going to give Pathfinder a good look over.  Its bound to take me a while with current time constraints but what I have heard intrigues me and I’m excited about the people they have brought on to their staff.  I’m a big fan of Sean and Monte and their work.

I am just starting so I figure i might as well go with the latest version

Count me on purchasing Pathfinder and thats about it for the next year +. 4e feels too flat to purchase for me.

I think I’ll buy 4e, but very sparingly. I’ll be going homebrew and have plenty of material I can convert.

I’m not buying anything, but largely because I don’t really have any gaming group to play it with :( I mean, there’s the guys I used to game with, but it’s been hard to find time to get together lately, you know how it goes. Anyway, in such circumstances, I tend to think it’s better to stick with what you’ve got already. Though of course there is a huge amount of curiosity that inclines me to thumb through 4E stuff, oh well, I wish I had a group to test it out in practice with, if only to see how it goes.

I like 4e.  I wish i had a few more options when playing a character but i am sure suppliments will add powers ad nauseum for us.

I have always liked a good setting to use with resource material so I loved Eberron, tolerated FR, and dug the others.  The way they released this has me actually wanting to make a homebrew pretty badly but I want to go about carefully and follow all the good design principles.  I will get Eberron when its out and mostly DDi follow the FR stuff for interest and just to see if there any cool ideas to steal.  I doubt I’ll fall for any other settings though unless I am with a group that dives right into it.  I can be peer pressured into most things.
