Things i like:

skills - the original system was stupid, and while this one isn't perfect, its better.

upgrade to some classes - martial classes mostly, casters didn't need a lot of help, but thats something else.

PDFs - being able to buy the books as PDFs is pretty awesome, since i run everything from either a laptop or my droid tablet, makes it easier to do everything.

things i don't like:

AP focus - i hate adventures, so i'm biased, but a lot of the focus is on adventure paths, and i'm not interested in someone elses idea of what my game should be. YMMV

lack of setting in the PF core book - i guess is supposed to be generic, but when the gods are just a list on a page with portfolio / domains / favored weapon, that does me no good, it says if i want to use the core setting, i have to buy more books. Pass.

Alignment - its stupid, and is just a crunch/fluff crutch that we should move past already.

spellcasting - i hate it now, i hated it in 2E, i want something better. Words of Magic from UM is cool, but i can't use it in PFS, which is all anyone i know does, so its useless.

which brings me to...

Organized play in general, not specific to PFS, so its solo, but unless its a Battletech Campaign or a Blood Bowl league, i'm not interested in organized play, especialy when you release interesting toys and then say that i can't use it in your sandbox. thats just dumb


Avalon Game Company has a line of SciFi pathfinder stuff under an "Infinite Futures" imprint. And its pretty terrible. Really bad, i asked for my money back for the pdf i bought. its a waste of storage media.

Asside from that, i would love to see a good Dragonstar Conversion, we still play that from time to time
