Quote:Interesting stuff. Something I'll be keeping an eye on. Right now I'm still waiting for my Pathfinders RPG book to come to my local gaming store - it was suppose to be in last week but it seems Amazon.com is experiencing difficulties shipping it. I consider Pathfinders to be the next progression of D&D (3.75 if you will) and feel that 4th is more of the bastard edition catering to a young, power-hungry crowd. Since WotC stopped producing 3rd edition stuff, I'll be sticking to Pathfinders for "official" 3rd edition stuff, and hopefully this new company can produce some interesting tie-ins.
From what I've heard, Pathfinder sold very well at Gen Con so perhaps the difficulty Amazon is experiencing has to do with supply and demand. While it is exciting that Mentzer is going forward with this project, I have been and continue to be skeptical about its success, especially since they asked for community investments of time and money. Frank has contributed generously and freely to the ADnD community while Jim Ward seems only interested in landing a job.
