Suggestion for the Third Party Page

Hey Vic, Gary, whoever handles this stuff:

First of all, just so you know what I'm going on about, I'm talking about this page, which I get to by clicking the PATHFINDER logo over there <--- right under the paizo logo, and then clicking on the "Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Compatible Products" link.

Now, maybe I'm just being nitpicky and overly concerned about semantics, but I think that link should only show third party publishers, and not paizo's own products. Because Paizo's Pathfinder books aren't compatible with Pathfinder, they are Pathfinder. A thing can't be compatible with itself; that's an irrational nonsequitor. It's all noon blue apples.

But the real reason its bugging me and I'm posting is because I can't find any page that shows all the 3PP stuff sans paizo with a Bestselling sidebar, which I really want because the bestselling 3PP stuff is a) probably of decent quality and b) more likely to be familiar to more players, and thus more likely to actually be allowed/get used/provide value after purchase. You'll notice that the Bestselling list on the Pathfinder page is the same as on the Pathfinder Compatible Products page, so its redundant and doesn't help.

Anyways, it seems to me that the Pathfinder Compatible Products page should be that page. And the page that the PATHFINDER logo over there <--- links to should be more like this page that takes you to everything paizo sells with Pathfinder on it.

It wasn't until I started poking around trying to find the Pathfinder page (as opposed to the Pathfinder RPG page) that I realized you guys are actually making a distinction between Pathfinder and Pathfinder RPG, which I personally find counter-intuitive (since most people refer to the Pathfinder RPG simply as "Pathfinder"). I know whenever I click on the PATHFINDER (RPG) logo over there I am subconsciously expecting to be taken to the Pathfinder page, and always find it a bit disorienting to not be able to reach modules, APs, companions, etc. from the Pathfinder RPG page.

Long story short, I think it'd be nice to a) have a page with a bestselling list that is just Pathfinder compatible third party publishers, and if b) the Pathfinder link over there took you to something that combined the best of the Pathfinder and Pathfinder RPG pages, maybe ditch the randomized image and add the box with links to the faq, forums, etc.

Maybe change the name of the Pathfinder RPG page to the Pathfinder Core Rules & Expansions page?

Just some suggestions. Take 'em or leave 'em.
