I've seen that game already. And frankly, Pathfinder has that game and it's fans covered now and is doing very well. Trying to make D&D into that version again would be a mistake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737025559858978163.post-55623390551771265162011-09-22T00:08:20.044-04:002011-09-22T00:08:20.044-04:00The brother will

I think that Paizo grabbed a large share of the current market but there are a lot of folks still playing 3x and then with all the OSR / indie activity it's up in the air. <br /><br />Earlier in the year just before it was announced that Paizo had pulled ahead of Wizards I was looking at an article that showed a 53/47 split with 4e on the bottom, xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17814063435676111475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737025559858978163.post-2976714388462334732011-09-21T22:54:28.250-04:002011-09-21T22:54:28.250-04:00I also noticed, while reading the article about th...I also noticed, while reading the article about the 4e player that tries out 1st edition AD&D that Greyhawk Grognard linked to yesterday, that Kim Mohan is apparently the managing editor of Dragon "Magazine" again.
