In many ways that's a big part of the identity problem 4E has right now even with fans of the game.<br /><br />I'm really happy that the boxed set is going to be an introduction instead of "different" or "basic." <br /><br />As someone who is a fan of all the editions of D&D as well, I gotta say, I find Pathfinder to be a really smooth set of rules that plays like 3.5 but easier (the intent, it seems).<br /><br />I don't really use minis with my Pathfinder sessions, but we still use the tactical elements, in terms of giving attack of opportunity, etc. If that part of the game is what disappoints you, why not just ignore it? PF works fine without those elements it seems -- and if you really hate them, why not use PF adventures/settings but run another system like Castles and Crusades or Dragon Age? (I don't mean that as a "you're playing the wrong game" or anything, just a real question).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016965280221558749.post-68637722276390882852011-04-19T09:24:27.969-07:002011-04-19T09:24:27.969-07:00I'll likely buy this product (based on the cov...I'll likely buy this product (based on the cover art alone), but i'm unlikely to play Pathfinder, since I have no interest in purchasing the complete 600 page Pathfinder rulebook.<br /><br />I love much of the art that graces the pages of Pathfinder products, and their minis are gorgeous, but the game is too new-school for me.Aaron E.

From what I understood it was always meant to be a way to introduce new players to the same game they already produce. It always pissed me off when companies would come out with an intro set that was very diffrent than the core product. So Im happy about how Paizo presenting the material.Zombiecowboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07423326531943150835noreply@blogger.com
