A Thank-You to Paizo

[Ruggs]

...I thought it was time for another one of these. They need reminded from time to time. :3

To the folks at Paizo:
- Thank you for putting up with the snark that crops up during playtests. I know firsthand how unpleasant this can be to deal with, and you deserve nothing but admiration for working through it the way you have.
- Thank you for being willing to take a different approach to the classes in Pathfinder. Every class has a way to advance or expand now, or most of them do, outside of Feats and Spells. Rage Powers. Mercies. Discoveries. These are amazing things and have expanded the game in ways that weren't possible before.
- Thank you for publishing amazing art and providing work for artists. In addition, thank you especially for depicting female heroes and subjects who aren't bimbos.
- Thank you for helping keep DnD alive and supporting the community in a positive way.
- Thank you for not flooding us with PrCs by not making them a necessary part of a PC's life, but rather a flavorful experience.
- Thank you for supporting a diverse gaming sphere and work force.

I could add more here, but think it's a good start. These guys do a lot of work, and I think it's important to remember to say "thank you" from time to time.

Sometimes, it's too easy to get wrapped up in our own arguments, or what we feel is "wrong" with this or that, without remembering the bigger picture.

So, thank you to Paizo, and to everyone here who has made this hobby and community what it is. We may not all agree all of the time, but we can at least come together and throw some dice.

-Thank you for doing what's best for the game, and not giving in to the loud minority.
-Thank you for reinventing/invigorating the game that has been part of most of my life.
-Thank you for loving what you do. A true artist loves their work, and it shows.
-Thank you for finding a way to balance that love with the need to eat and pay your bills. Seems like the merchants (a necessary evil) have ruined so many of the things I love.
-Thank you for your patience. If I were inundated with all the criticism I see posted here, IDK if I could do the same.
-Keep up the good work and dont lose sight of what you set out to do.

Thank you for being so present on these forums; that sort of customer service and involvement is almost unheard of.

Thank you for allowing lively discussion; it allows people to be heard, and thank you for setting the tone of civility.

Oh, and thanks a ton for bringing me back to gaming. It had been a while, and all of my friends said to choose Pathfinder over 4e (or 3.5). They were right. You do it better.

- Thanks for doing such a good job on your products that the complaints see tend to repeat. In other words, thanks for releasing a product that isn't so full of errors and flaws that there are always new gripes.

- Thanks for providing interaction and support to the community directly (via forum posts and such)

Thanks for focussing on quality and taking the time to do things right. Yours is an impressive track record.

Thank you for creating a flavorful Alchemist base class. Really, thanks. That's one of my favorite things about PF.

[Mynameisjake]

Thanks for the Magus!

[Terokai]

Thank you for the stories that have inspired and served as locations for our own stories to take place.

And thank you for fueling our imaginations with such delightful little goblins.

[BuzzardB]

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment

Uh...I mean thank you for releasing some of the most beautiful hardcover pnp game books ever made.

[bodrin]

Thank you for supporting the extra suplemental non core options in your published products, and not just publishing fluff just for the hell of it!

Thank you for not deviating from the OGL ruleset too much. ;)

Thank you for re-inventing some of the more confusing / time consuming D20 rules

Thank you for re-invigorating the D20 RPG scene.

Thank you for releasing quality products that I want to purchase.

+12 ... one for each :)

[ibayboy]

Thank you for your Adventure Paths, 6 - 12 months play without changing or adding a thing, unheard of.(well maybe a few slight alterations)

[Gorbacz]

Thanks for still having faith in your fanbase despite such despicable individuals as myself. And TOZ.

[Aaron Bitman]

Thanks for all the work you do on this website, especially in those situations that do nothing to develop nor promote your products, nor to make you a profit in any way.

Who says they have faith in you and TOZ?
