Gygaxian Naturalist's page

I think the flavor of Pathfinder can't be beaten. Flavor is what drew me in. But can flavor alone sustain it?

I know some folks like CoL would be happier with a more drastic overhaul. In some ways I wonder if Crusader wouldn't be happier with 4E. But then again [to quote the Incredibles], "If everyone is super then no one will be".

Crusader made a pretty good point when he pointed out what a balancing factor it was in 1st edition that different classes advanced differently. 2 characters with the same amount of XP could be completely different levels.

Should balancing decisions be that simple or should every class be ubered to the same degree?

So what about Gygaxian supernaturalism? Or Gygaxian moralism?

Hey, Gygax had a can of worms for every genre! :)

The nice thing is that so much of the good old D&D stuff can be found fairly low priced over at DrivethruRPG.com.

Gygax wasn't perfect but he was a creative genius. Sometimes he got lazy and made a simple hack 'n slash dungeon. But he also gave us Greyhawk (the city), the Temple of Elemental Evil, Against the Giants, etc.
