Re: Pathfinder Online
I'm getting less and less impressed with every new blog they post. 
Re: Pathfinder Online
I am thoroughly unimpressed with Paizo in general. WoTC opening up the d20 system under Open Game License was probably a bad business plan, in hindsight. I wish we could bring back the early days of TSR.

Anyways, I like Paizo. I have to like Paizo, or those 130+ books I have in my shelf are for naught.
pragmatic (adj.)
The opposite of idealistic is pragmatic, a word that describes a philosophy of "doing what works best."
From Greek pragma "deed," the word has historically described philosophers and politicians who were
concerned more with real-world application of ideas than with abstract notions. A pragmatic person
is sensible, grounded, and practical.

The A-Student in Economics in me says "How much money would you have if you had placed those funds in an investment plan?" :p
I have enough games right now that I don't pay to play anymore. Ok, I did just buy XCOM, but that was for... research.

I subscribe to a few of their product lines, so I get monthly packages with books and stuff. It's kinda like World of Warcraft.

Re: Pathfinder Online
Man PF haters.
Pathfinder is real PnP D&D.
4th Edition is entirely terrible. I don't even know (after 30 years playing D&D and 50 other PnP RPG games in every through every medium and every system known), of a group of anyone who uses 4th... *shrugs*

No hating here, my sweet sweet BU!! I love that Pathfinder took 3.5 and made some much needed fixes. I hope they continue to rock.
The Pathfinder online project however, seems misguided and disheveled. Another mmo was not needed, yes it would grab Pathfinder players who play mmos, but to the mmo world, they could care less, it would be no different to them than Neverwinter online, or Elder Scrolls online.
What they should have done, imo, was plan on an online game like Neverwinter Nights, with multiplayer-persistant world-DM client support but just set in Pathfinder. THAT I would be excited about.

Re: Pathfinder Online
I will require at least a 7 minute tickle, with numerous emotes thus gaining 1xp from RPXP.
