Welcome, welcome. Lilith should be around soon with cookies for ya.

I'm fairly new around these parts myself and I've found that (barring a few members) the community here is full of incredibly nice and friendly people. You'll enjoy your stay I think.

I'm also going to echo Patrick and say that being vocally anti-4E will most likely not make you any friends around these parts. They (4th edition players) have their game and we have ours, there's no reason we can't co-exist peacefully.

All-in-all, I hope you enjoy your stay. :)

No worries about any edition wars from me. After all I am where i belong, cheers!

Welcome aboard. I'm glad you have made your way to these boards, and I hope you have a good experience here. We are carrying the 3.5/OGL torch through Pathfinder and I hope you enjoy playtesting it with all of us.

Now that you have found your new home, one simple plea. Let the anger towards 4E die. Bad energy just breeds more bad energy. You don't have to play it, and there is plenty of gaming goodness to go around. We have some wonderful 4E boosters here, and we try to play nice with each other as much as possible (although this fails occasionally). Take a look around, Lilith will be by with cookies eventually. Take a deep breath, smile and relax.

LOL! Well, i dont really "hate" 4e per se, i just dont consider it dnd and the community it has over there was very tyrannic, is all. I have looked at pathfinder and am waiting for the printed version as we speak.I knew there could be balance to the game without gutting it, and i was right.

I am glad paizo made it their own and i will be a supporter from here on out.


The most memorable female in fantasy for me was Kitiara from the dragonlance series. She was a complete BA, very independant, smart, and above all: a freakin dragon highlord!

Thank You. :)


The past few months have been very sad and confusing for me as I witnessed the death of the only game that i loved and cherished. I tried to get into 4e, but sad to say, i could'nt. Something just feels so wrong with it that it doesnt feel like dnd to me. Oh, it is an rpg, but not the one that helped me when i had my troubled childhood and needed something to get my mind away from things.

3rd edition was different, but i quickly embraced it as it still felt like dnd(to me anyway).Then after 8 years of playing the crap outta it, some "thing" came along dressed like dnd, but it was'nt.Might as well be the big bad wolf for all i knew "What big dice you have dnd"/ "the better to distract you my puppet".

I went to their forums and searched for answers, but everytime i asked a question about the system the members found even slightly antagonistic towards their preciuos 4th edition, they all ganged up on me and i was forced to defend myself in kind. They even slammed me when i asked why the vancian spellcasting system was broken when Gary himself designed it. Let me tell you, never have i seen such a lack of respect for him than i did over there.They accused me of deifying him and told me although he is responsible, he is old and outdated! How can you say that he was wrong when it came to the game HE created? BLASPHEMY!!!

I also noticed that 4e came out as soon as Gary died. Kinda like a "F-you old man" from 4e's sinister creater's. I am a loyal player to dnd and it would have been fine for them to print a revision or even change the system a bit, but what i saw when i bought the 3 corebooks was NOT DND!

Anyway, i am not going back to that site again as i am sick of arguing with them and tired of acting like i like the crap quality products they spew from their bottom.

Hopefully here is a place i can talk with my true peers about the wonders of past editions( and them not always saying "But it was broken") and move forward with what i beleive to be(as others have said)the TRUE 4e that is Pathfinder.

I have been as open about my veiwpoints as i dare with this, my premeire post on Paizo. I hope you all are as glad to see me as I am to see you.
