Pathfinder RPG - Best Ever

I'm approaching my 30th year playing OD&D/AD&D/Pathfinder RPG. I want to share my extreme enthusiasm for Pathfinder RPG as the best incarnation of the game yet.

I recently sundered my gaming group because I was looking for great roleplayers. I am fortunate now to have 6 great roleplayers for my weekly game. Prior to this, many of the players were very gamist, and interested in more tactical gaming. Pathfinder RPG was great for that too. But now, I have the very best of all worlds--Pathfinder RPG with great roleplayers, and the game is versatile and has something for all styles of play. The game is extremely robust, so I can get involved in creating the very best games and executing in any style desired.

I wish I had more to say, except, WOOOHOOO. I love this game.


So far it is my favourite. I felt is cleaned up the aspects of 3.5 I did not like while being compatible enough to bring anything from 3.5 into PF.

I also really like Golarion, though I don't plan to run games there myself.

I'm hoping to find a PF game where I can play as a goblin.

Right on! I was very selective this time around. Played a lot of organized play. Took the best players I could find and formed not one but two groups that are 3 years running. Love me some Pathfinder.

In b 4 PF haters show up.


Pathfinder is a great and would be in my all time top 3 but I still think that any good game is often made great by good players
I to an lucky in the fact that the people I game with are not just goog role players but good friends


Pathfinder haters in 3... 2... 1... Duck and Cover!


it was my favourite iteration of the d20 fantasy and i had real love for it. Core + APG

other stuff since, not so much almost everyone i know who plays it wishes to use the extra stuff, and the extra stuff in unavoidable in PFS!

The game is great, but Ars Magica is still my fave RPG ever.

The setting is delicious, but I do long for some pure good old Planescape. Where have my Modrons gone?

The APs are fantastic, but WFRP's Enemy Within and CoC's Horror on Orient Express are still the best for me.

The modules are cool, but boy do I love me some good old oWoD ones more. Samuel Haight, will you dance with us tonight?

But you know what? Paizo makes me feel like somebody important, and not just customer #2435. And that, combined with great quality of products, makes Paizo win the universe for me.


I think that Paizo is, so far, the best thing on the market for me. I think that more importantly than Paizo being perfect right now, that they are continuing to strive towards the perfect game that most of us really wanted 3.5 to be. I think that there is also a lot of creativity in the company so far, and if they keep this up they will most likely grow to surpass WotC.

Wait.

YOU'RE #2435?

Hmm.

That changes everything.

Boy am I glad I'm just a Tiny bag, because the park suddenly got filled with Dire Abyssal T-Rexes...

Maybe they won't find me.

Now I'm curious if there actually ARE customer numbers.

I don't think the system is the best (3.0/3.5 even less so) but I think the material in terms of writing, setting, and all things fluff are top notch.

ACCESS DENIED.

RETURN TO YOUR SECTOR. DO NOT SEEK FURTHER INFORMATION. DO NOT DISTURB THE STATUS QUO. COMPLETE YOUR DUTIES. SUPPORT THE COLLECTIVE. GLORY TO THE MANY.

Does my PFS number count?


hmmm...I wouldn't call it the best ever but it is certainly one of my top two along with FFG's Warhammer 40k roleplay line (Deathwatch currently being my favorite out of all of them). Although I would say that Paizo does have the best customer service of just about any gaming company around, so as an overall company I would say they are the best.

Nah ... I'm thinking of the unique customer ID you'd be assigned when you make a purchase. It's usually buried somewhere in a database; many companies don't make it public at all, but if you had access to the DB you could, for example, find out who had the lowest active customer number.

Probably one of the Paizo staff, in any case :)

I think Pathfinder has the customization 3.0 and 3.5 was suppose to have but failed to deliver.
