This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

To me, the Pathfinder approach is very simple to explicate: 3.5 is a living system, amenable to changes, updates, expansions, retro-fitting or what have you. WotC declared 3.5 dead prematurely for a lot of people such as myself. To me, there is still a huge design space in 3.5 and I think the Pathfinder folks also see that.

That's interesting.

In what way were they different? Did they talk about different campaign set ups? Did they design their adventures or settings differently? Were they mainly comparing character builds? Did they talk about which rule was official, and which was not (or, what third party supplement got used at their table)?
Swords & Wizardry & Manga ... oh my.
