I want a royalty! Do you hear me, Nissan?


There should be a custom Pathfinder Edition Nissan Pathfinder.

Oh man! Just imagine it...

That would be full of win. Sihedron rune spinners? Yes please. :P


Oh sweet Louise YES!

Black, burgundy, and silver, the colors of Korvosa...of course, it would come in a variety of regional color schemes.

Hmm...I'll take the solid alloy sihedron wheels.

Another option: sin symbols! But where? The hood?

Nah, put those "ghost flame" style near the door handles.

Long live the OGL.

As long as the OGL is supported, there can be a community of RPG companies, players and products that isn't divided. Everyone shares, everyone benefits.

That's Pathfinder's golden promise, and I hope (and believe) they will keep it.


Ah, thanks, Toyrobots. OGL mudflaps!

Ok all you artists/photoshop types... get cracking.


Pathfinder Society symbol on the tail lights.

Where to put the faction symbol of the owner?

Hood ornament? :)


That's it!

Pathfinder means consistent quality and value for grown-up gamers.

I couldn't agree more!

Paizo brought me back to a hobby that I loved, but lay gathering dust on a bookshelf in my basement. I wish they had been around twenty years ago when I had the time, money, and the crew to game with!

We're goin' blu-ray now, Fakey. Yeah...too bad about that. And here I thought a movie with Vikings and Indians couldn't go wrong. Maybe we'll have better luck with ninjas and pirates. Or zombies and ...


Zombies and [almost anything] is a sure recipe for a solid barrage of B-grade movies. ^_^

Most excellent Sir Norton. ^_^


Pathfinder means that Barbarians, Bards, Paladins and Sorcerers don't suck anymore. :)

And everyone won't be digging through the MM and all of the splat books searching for the biggest cheater race either. Yay!

Of course, I'm talking about the RPG but hey, that's what's on everyone's minds right now.


Pathfinder means exactly that.
Where I could not find the path they did.
I was lost, the company whom I trusted for there expertize in Magic the Gathering seemed to have missed the point on what I want my D&D to be.
I was in the middle of limbo.
I had book with no one supporting them.
Not like AD&D where the new move dragged me away from players options:skills and powers madness.

They lit a light in the darkness and said.
Come in have some hearty chunky soup, like you used to remember it to be.
As you sit down you see there is someone who has all the same stuff on the walls, it's a little different but they know exactly what you like.

And then I ask whats all of this for?
Hoping against hope that this isn't some fantastic dream where it will all be taken away.
I only hear one word "Paizo"
A confused look comes across my face and I wonder has it all gone wrong was it just a dream.
Then they smile and say "To play"

I smile and know I am not alone.

Pathfinder made me do something I have never done, get involved with my local gaming community. I have always run "house games" with a select group of friends, ever since I learned to play 1st Edition with my older brother's friends.

With Pathfinder, I have been involved with cheerleading for both the game system and campaign setting at my FLGS. This lead to me becoming a Pathfinder Society coordinator for the same store, and now for our local annual gaming convention. I have met all kinds of new people and encouraged them in a game that I love. And now they love it too!

Here, here! I am thinking to do the same in my new town. I am already a cheerleader at a my FLGS, so becoming a PS coordinator is the next step!

Pathfinder means new life and evocative fun to D&D, and I hope to make many new friends as a result. :-)

To me Pathfinder means

Peerless attention to details
Affinity to the desires of the gaming community
Truthful representation
Helpful community
Friendly staff
Imagination unrestrained
New life to the game
Designing quality products
Extensive experience
Role playing at its finest

No offense taken. I also remember much of the same reaction when 3.0 transited to 3.5 and even more so when 2.x became 3.0. I see alot of it when World of Warcraft goes through any form of change. Resistance to change is a natural Human reaction which does intensify as we get older.

Hmm.. kinda depends on. The interesting thing is, that I like some systems which take a much more modern approach to roleplaying than both WotC and Paizo do. And while I'm probably not old enough to call myself a grognard I'm playing long enough to have seen (and approved of)quite some change on the way.

So without going into specifics (as we've heard from Vic, edition wars are over and that's something I consider to be a good thing), it's not that I generally dislike change. It's that I sometimes dislike specific changes. And that has nothing to do with my age but with my personal preferences (which admittedly have changed over time).

So, as someone has said before (and I forgot to include in my previous post): Pathfinder means choice.

Shortly after 4th Edition was announced, I was both disappointed and excited; disappointed in that I had spent the last year or so only then truly getting "into" D&D in the sense of running a real-live campaign, but excited because at that point I still trusted WotC and was excited to see how 4E would fix some of the problems with 3.5 and broaden the game's scope. I had been a fan of D&D in general for many years, but most of it was limited to reading the books and playing video games, as I didn't have a dedicated gaming group until a few years ago.

After having DM'd a campaign for about a year, 4E was announced, and we decided then that we would place our campaign on hold at a narratively appropriate time, and see how 4E would change the rules--the plan was that we would familiarize ourselves with the material, convert the PCs over, and continue. The more information about 4E that came out, though, the more worried I got, and it culminated on release day when I purchased the entire core rulebook set and saw first-hand that my trust had been betrayed in almost every conceivable capacity.

I won't argue the merits of the edition; what I have said to my friends and what I maintain is that 4E is not necessarily a "bad" game (though I personally think it is) for everyone, but that it was a game that was so obviously not directed at me that it felt almost like I was being dumped by someone I had had a decade-long relationship with. WotC decided it wanted to see other people, and unceremoniously left me on the side of the road. I gave it my loyalty, my money, my enthusiasm.

Though we could have gone right back to 3.5 without missing a beat, we didn't play D&D for a very long time after that. It was only a couple months ago that I came across Pathfinder again--I knew that Paizo existed, but hadn't really paid much attention to it until then. When I finally sat down and started looking at it, when I realized that Pathfinder was the heart and soul of D&D, something that could truly claim a direct lineage back to the earliest days of the hobby, it was like I could love again. 4E deliberately and coldly severed all ties with its own history in order to increase its market share. But Pathfinder picked up the slack, and so to me it represents the unbroken continuation of a 30-year-old tradition that, happily, no longer need die an obscure death and become a marginalized footnote in the history of gaming.


I just want to say that anywhere else a thread like this would turn my stomach with the sheer amount of fanboyism(fanpersonism?), but here I just find myself agreeing with everyone.
