The Edition Wars Are Over!

From where I sit, it's August 13, the official release date of the Pathfinder RPG. And as a co-owner of Paizo Publishing and someone with a significant role in what some refer to as "the edition wars," I have an announcement to make:

The Edition Wars are over, and we have all won.

You like 4th Edition? Great--Wizards of the Coast has some fun stuff coming out for you, and there are quite a few third parties expanding the scope of the 4E world too.

You like 3.5, but want to see it evolve? We've got you covered with the Pathfinder RPG, and more companies are coming on board to support that all the time.

You like 3rd Edition and want to keep playing it as it is? Congratulations--you can. And since the Pathfinder RPG was designed with compatibility in mind, you'll be seeing a lot of new stuff coming out that you can easily use with your game.

You like more than one of the above, or perhaps something completely different? That's fine, too.

So let's put an end to the talk about why the games you're not playing are lacking, and keep the focus on why the games you are playing are keeping your attention.

This town *is* big enough for the both of us.
