For Some, Pathfinder will suck like Eberron. Tell us about it before we buy!

I'm not going to put my 10 months worth of subscription credit into something I've not seen. This is a new campaign world and like Eberron, many will not like it. Heck, many still don't like FR. Tell us about the Pathfinder world so that we can be informed victims, er, consumers. In addition to the new "really big and therefore unusable by many" campaign that is "Kill the Runelords" (or whatever), will content space ever be set aside for The Styes, FR, Greyhawk, Maure Castle, etc.? Face it, your word on how wonderful it will be is not sufficient. Of course you're promoting it -- you need this "transition" (or rape) to be as smooth as possible. Give us tangible information so we can decide if we want to try it or if we want our money back.

This is an excellent observation, and you should find the answers you are looking for in the Pathfinder blog, the first installment of which was just posted today.

Check it out, and give it a read!

Thanks,

The things you list are all owned by Wizards of the Coast, so we can't use them in Pathfinder. But there will be roughly 40 pages devoted to non-adventure content, supporting the Adventure Path, but easily useful outside of it, in each volume.

They've already said it will be generic enough that the previous adventure paths would fit well.

Not sure who the 'victim' is here.

May I modestly propose that we all agree not to the use the word 'rape' as a term for 'a little disappointed?'

Hyperbole seemed appropriate considering my feelings.

I did not intend, however, to upset anyone by comparing the bombshell dropped on us to graphic violence or abuse.
