Paizo Publishing Announces the Pathfinder RPG
It looks like Paizo is going to stay with D&D 3.5. While I’m not a 3.x fan (except in the form of Microlite 20), I’m even less of a 4th edition fan, so I am happy to see this. And Paizo probably has enough of a rep and following of their own to make this work.
Paizo Publishing Announces the Pathfinder RPG
Pathfinder to continue under the 3.5 rules.Tuesday, March 19th, 2008
Paizo Publishing today unveiled the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, a tabletop fantasy roleplaying game that will serve as the anchor for the company’s popular line of Pathfinder adventures, sourcebooks, and campaigns. Today marks the beginning of a year-long Open Playtest of the new rules, which are based upon the popular 3.5 rules available under the Open Game License. The Pathfinder RPG is designed with backward compatibility as one of its primary goals, so players will continue to enjoy their lifelong fantasy gaming hobby without invalidating their entire game library. The first Pathfinder RPG Alpha release is available now as a free 65-page PDF download at paizo.com/pathfinderRPG. Until the finished Pathfinder RPG’s release as a hardcover rulebook in August 2009, all of Paizo’s popular Pathfinder-brand products will continue under the current 3.5 rules set.
