It's like late 3.x's run of the "Complete X, Y, Z and the kitchen sink" redone with a different ruleset. They've read my mind, seen what things and playstyles I don't care for, and published it all. Yikes indeed from my perspective. |
You know, it's funny. I completely understand your aversion to the heavy loading of crunch and modules. I'll likely be skipping on most if not all of the modules myself (as well as the cards). However, I'm kind of glad that they are frontloading a lot of 'complete' type books-- meaning books filled with powers for existing classes. One of the concerns some of the folks at my table had when trying out 4th was the lack of options for character builds available in the PH. Putting out books with 100 extra powers for each class-- while not 'sexy'-- could go a long way to solving that concern.
Now, if they end up releasing a million books per power source, then I'll not be so happy.
Out of curiousity-- is it more fluff type stuff that you are interested in? Fiendish Codex type stuff? I like that as well.
