[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 6439941, member: 6677017"] Holy cut options, Batman! It was only a little while ago that Mike said this one [I]was[/I] in the DMG (I provided the link on another topic recently) along with some other stuff. We also know Battlesystem was cut (for a good reason--more playtesting and development), when they had the rules already developed. It sounds like [B]a lot[/B] of stuff they were actively working on or had even [I]completed[/I] just straight up got cut due to space. If they are cutting out that much stuff that they had already been slaving away on, they must have had a lot of content they had to decide between. I'm getting the impression that at some point the focus moved away from the "hacker's guide" and back to the more traditional "guide for the new DM." Hopefully most of the cut content will appear in the web articles, and/or be added to Basic D&D. Yeah, that's the problem I'm having here. If they start spitting out articles of cut content weekly starting in January, I expect I'll get most of what I need in a few months. On the other hand, if they casually roll out content online at a rate of one article every month, half of which talk about philosophy* rather than giving crunchy articles@, it could be another year before I have what I need to enable me to decide whether I need to make my own houserules, which is not going to make me happy. *"Why we didn't put everything in the DMG (no spoilers!)" "Why it was hard to decide what to leave out of the DMG" "Why are you still reading this, we aren't giving you anything you want" @"Gestalt-style (AD&D) Multiclassing: How things came together," "So you want slower natural healing? Get it right now!" or even: "Future releases, and which ones we're sticking all the crap you still want in" [/QUOTE]
