Here's a newbie question for you:
Is Pathfinder here for the long haul?
May sound like a silly question, but allow me to explain. I've been gaming since the 80's and have been through a few editions. I also advise the school rpg club where I teach. Now my FLGS owner wants me to run some sessions at the hobby shop to draw customers. He would kind of like to see a 4e Wednesday night encounters. Now, I've played 4e and more recently Pathfinder. PF is the game most of the kids at school prefer right now. So much so that it seems to be moving towards the club's de facto game. I could be okay with that, but one of the reasons I've shyed a bit away from 4e lately is that the platform is likely to change every 5 to 7 years or so. And what with them bringing Monte Cook on I smell an edition change on the horizon. I'd rather stick with one game for the long haul.
I know most people here are likely going to be PF devotees, but I'd like an honest opinion about what the word is from Paizo. PF seems to be the game on the ascendant now, and it's fanbase just keeps growing. But are they going to change things any time soon? No massive new rerelease of the core book or antything, eh? Knowing where that stands would make switching over to PF completely easier overall.
thanks for the input,
