I Play Pathfinder because of the content, not its art inside or outside of the book. My players do not care about the art and as far I am concerned, none of the dozen or so gaming groups that play Pathfinder at my FLGS are playing Pathfinder because of the art. They play because they like the content of the book which relates to gaming. They are playing Pathfinder because they are part of the BIG SCHISM that developed when that crap called 4th edition came out. I am playing Pathfinder because I am not going to devote my time in wasting money on a game (4th Edition) that is easily played on the computer by the same name (WoW).
I've heard this line before, and from experience, I've found the two (art and style of rules or "feel") to go hand in hand. I don't play Pathfinder, but if it appeals to the 3tards, it won't appeal to me. And the "bad" art is likely a reflection of those aspects of the game that most appeals to its core market; the very same aspects I'll bet I most hate. I might be surprised (if I got a chance to play it), but I seriously doubt it.

I agree. This isn't a 3e site. Enough already.

Um... yeah, so... original topic...

I'm sure that this was already said (I'm too lazy to go back and reread this thread), but I just don't see WOTC supporting older editions through Insider, unless they have secret plans to re-release older editions in PDF format (and if they did that, I'd take back every bad thing I've ever said about them... well almost everything).

But who knows. I'm likely wrong. :roll:

At one point they were doing that.

The question of the support is a valid one so what else can be done? Frankly, I don't want to go into the edition comparison either. Edition comparison should done in a FAQ filled with quotations and truths and not statements of opinion.

Should this be a project?

After a failed attempt to become the next Evel Knievel on my toboggan I landed smack dab in in a hospital bed for about a year, back in those days pain medication was all addictive and my Dad wasn't about to deal with a drug addict fourth grade, over active imagination so he went to see a old army friend who owned the local hobby shop said try this game on him should keep his mind busy for a day or two. a while later my younger brother and some of our friends were playing and we haven't stopped yet. when AD&D came out we jumped on it.
