I first heard about Pathfinder sometime during 2009, about the same time my group and I decided to jump from 3.5 to 4e.
Then, after 5 sessions of 4e, we acknowledged it was a good game, but not our cup of tea. So we went back to 3.5, and shortly after moved sort-of-sideways-but-also-forward-a-bit ("diagonally", as the kids say these days) to Pathfinder.
And then we started our current campaign, in January 2010, if memory helps, campaign that is pretty much about to end in all manners of bangs.
So, after a year and three quarters of campaign later, what can I say? Well, Paizo, thanks for all the fun. Your game has kept me and my group entertained like the kids with receeding hair and beer bellies we are today, and I can safely say it has been the most entertaining campaign I've been involved with since the Planescape ones I had back in late-90's AD&D.
The results so far: 6 players fully converted to Pathfinder; 5 of them with their own hardback Core Rulebooks; 3 of them with expanding Pathfinder collections including essentially every splatbook that is not a module (but this only because we never play premade modules); all 6 of them in love with Golarion. And a DM who at this point would probably even buy a soggy waffle covered in fish oil so long as it was between two Pathfinder Something-Something covers.
So in representation of us 6 far away chileans, thank you, Paizo, for a game well done.

Aww... thanks! Even IF you implied that "soggy waffles covered in fish oil" are more interesting than our modules! :-P

Good post that many of us probably share. On behalf of my home group I would also like to say thank you Paizo as well.
I started running Legacy of Fire for my group probably a year and a half ago. We've finished the AP but have continued with the characters and campaign. Lots of fun and still more fun to come!
I remember when my one buddy kept on plugging Pathfinder to our group. We had been playing 3.5 for a while and none of us had any strong desire to switch over. Eventually I looked at the rules and I fell in love. We pretty much switched over after that. And even though that group is no longer playing together, I can say Pathfinder is still my favorite system by far.

I think opening a book only to find a soggy waffle covered with fish oil would be classed as the holiest of goblin miracles.

but what if the print had leached onto the fish oil waffle.... the goblins would cry and then go set fire to something.

Goblins pray, and Goblins shout,
Goblins whine, and Goblins pout!Should holy book come from up on high,
We pray for blockish print to buy!
Turn foulest writ to mushy goo!
Turn pages filled with sticky glue!
Lick the oil, taste the sea!
Then set on fire, fling it free!
Eat the letters! Munch the words!
Mangle nouns! Cut into thirds!
Like horse and Dog we'll chew them too!
Words are evil, cook them true!
Goblins dance with flaming fish!
Goblins love the sizzling dish!
That's the Goblins' edible text!
That's why Gods love Goblins best!
Yer not gonna believe what two choices my wife presented for dinner tonight...
tuna
or
waffles.

I would like to point out that Paizo has extremely few splat books. The vast majority are top notch supplements with a lot of work behind them, not just splat'd out there like the D&D 3.5 books seemed to be.
And you chose both, right?
What?? I'm a disembodied floating head, not an overblown head on a runty little body! The tuna can wait til breakfast...
Tthank you, Paizo, for a game well done.
Awesome Klaus, thanks a ton! Hope your gaming keeps right on going strong!
