Why are people concerned about the rate of release?
Perhaps it's because they don't want to see history repeat - again.
2e died largely because it was suffocated by its own bloat.
3e, one could argue, had either already met the same fate or was getting mighty close.
4e has barely been out a year yet has already seen enough book releases to cover a 5-year run...the bloat is building fast.
And, let's face it, it's a barrier to entry. Walk into a store a year ago looking to get into
4e, there were three books and a couple of adventures - nice and simple, and not too costly. Now, walk into the same store and there's a wall of
4e books starin' back at you - which ones do you need to play the game? Do you ask the guy behind the counter, or do you just give up and leave?
