It seems the spirit others than myself is strong.

I agree with some people that Paizo should expand there line of setting. They could develop other planets from the Golarion universe, create something ressembling Planescape, or just start another setting different to what we have now.

They could create a modular world. Each GM could link different nation or kingdom of what he want in his world.

I will repeat myself that rule-wise, Pathfinder will come to a stop. But, supplements and adventure will have a better lifespan.

Enough conjecture and hypothesis for my part.

I thank you all to have answered and contributed to this thread.


I'm grateful for all the replies so far.

I see that I'm not the only one that had that impressions. That means there is a concern (real or not)about this. I'm aware that it will not be the last.

Like I said, I saw patterns of things. I believe that the peak of the current form of Pathfinder is in the past. As it goes now, it will decline gradually. And like everything in the RPG world, it will cease or evolve.

To be honest, my point of view is tainted by nostalgia. I never had an interest in the 3rd edition of D&D. I was infuriated that my entire collection 2nd edition was replaced. My brother take the plunged on the new version from WOTC in 2000. When Pathfinder system replace or continue on the 3.5, my brother stopped. I take the relay. Now, I see Pathfinder takes options like the 2nd edition. Archetypes are Kits. The Ultimate series look likes the many brown and blue handbooks. It sounds like my good old days... my golden years.

Maybe, maybe I was burned in the past. To love a RPG that much (yes, I was a real fanboy of the TSR stuff) and to lose it all takes it toll. I'm now afraid that it will happens again. Even if history is never the same, sometimes it feel similar.

Now, if Paizo will avoid and learn from the mistakes from others. I'm happy with that. I will continue to support Pathfinder as long there is product that interest me.

My personal request will be to urge or plead Paizo to revive or create something similar of the setting Birthright. It's a good time with all the crazyness of the Game of Throne to have a setting that promote political backstabbing, alliance, etc., etc. Kingmaker opened a door, but for me it was just a part of the possibilities. The rules was more for the internal management and few external management with other kingdom.

I could add more things that I would like to see. I will stop now.

P.S.: I'm sorry for the sentimentality rant. It was long due for me to share.


First thing first, I don't know if it's the right place for my observation/opinion.

Nonetheless, here it goes.

I'm a old veteran. I began with D&D Red Box in the 80'. Passed the 1st Edition and dived in the second. When the third edition hit the shelves, I passed. Finally return with Pathfinder a few years back.

Pathfinder is a freight train in the RPG world. I see some patterns similar to the second edition of AD&D emerged in recent years. I began to fear that the Pathfinder is in decline. The supplements, the adventures and the rules his extensively probe, analysed and modified. Here, I think of all the new hardcovers for Pathfinder that reminds me of Player's Option like Combat & Tactics for the 2nd Edition AD&D.

There will be an end. My estimation is in less than 3 years. The lifespan of a RPG is ten years.

I'm hoping that I will be wrong.

What is left to explore rule-wise? I think that's the weak point of a game: the rules. The mine of ideas is almost depleted.

The world of Golarion is half or two-third covered. There is place to cover more supplements in this direction.

Finally, the last question: What is next?


The cover has orcs! ORCS!!! I knew they will come back with the mass combat rules.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I would like to see the point of view of each races about the constructing a settlement. Each races must priorise some important features when building a kingdom.

And maybe, the advantages to used specialists when to purchase a building. Example, dwarves are good at stonemasonry. They may provide a bonus to the value of the building at the cost of time and money.

I found the rules to be too "human-centric".

Hi,

First time here. I would like to know something. I bought the Core Rulebook last fall. I read it all except the spell section. Yesterday, for my own curiosity, I checked some spells. I had the surprise to note that I had some redundant pages and missing others. I have twice the pages 289 to 320 and missing the pages 297 to 312. (Third printing of the book.)

Am I the only one? Now, I must buy another one. I hesitated to buy online and to receive another faulty copy.

Thanks!

Shoot an email to custserv and ask them if anything can be done about that.

Thanks! I will.

But I don't mind to have another core book. It's always good around the gaming table. When I played ADD2nd, I had 3 PHBs.

My only concern is if there's more than one case of flawed corebook, I will hesited to purchase another one online. I just don't want to have a second one in the same state.
