Hey guys, Just wanted to see if there was any movement in getting an Orlando Pathfinder game going. I'm looking to GM a longform campaign (probably Kingmaker)or join an existing group. If you are in the Orange or Seminole county area and would like to join a new game or have a chair open for an existing game, please drop me a line at [REDACTED].
I guess what I'm saying is that Paizo has done nothing but meet or exceed my expectations. WOTC has managed to fumble along, but since their failure to produce a single viable, healthy computer component since E-Tools flopped I have lost faith. If you can honestly tell me that you believe the new DDI suite will be released soon and to most of our satisfaction I'll stop posting. If however, the only opposing viewpoint asks me to wait and see (as they did with E-Tools) I'll keep going. I think now is the time for the fans to let Paizo now that we not only appreciate their work, but many of us feel they would do a better job with the fantasy RPG legacy that WOTC purchased than what we're seeing now. I honestly believe that if Paizo had promised a computer/online component for $15 a month to coincide with the release of a major product it would have freakin' happened. With WOTC we get a pathetic "It will be done when it's done" message. So, what I am trying to accomplish with this message is to encourage Paizo to take advantage of WOTC's failure to keep its promises and, more importantly, its failure to keep significant lines of communication open with its fan-base. Now is the time for a company that understands and enjoys the hobby/obsession we love to step up and take the reigns from a bloated corporate beast and show the community how things could and should be done.
I think everyone in the geek...er...I mean gaming community now realizes that WOTC has, once again, failed to deliver. We should have learned after WOTC failed to get it together in over FIVE YEARS when it came to the E-tools fiasco. I also think that most of us, based on the quality we miss from Dragon and from Dungeon love Paizo. That said, NOW is the time to sweep in and take over. WOTC is bloated, self-contented, and frankly, it appears they assume that the community well gobble up anything they sell. I think this has reached a boiling point. I would like to start this thread to STRONGLY encourage the gaming geniuses as Paizo (and I don't use the term lightly) to strike out on their own, forsake the OGL and truly make a new DnD experience. I know that most of your fans would like to see you seek out a computer component to your work, to design a game from scratch, and (for lack of a better analogy) to take the crown from WOTC. This thread is for those who wish to encourage Paizo to "take over" the fantasy market, simply because of the quality products they produce and their ability to keep their promises. So, to any Paizo employee who reads this, I speak for many fans when I say, "Think big, now is your chance!" |
