[QUOTE="Trickstergod, post: 1823706, member: 10825"] This is completely unsurprising. Predictions about its demise started circulating the moment the Scarred Lands lacked any future releases being mentioned back...what, six months ago? And before that, I'd been acting as a doomsayer, anyway, over my general sentiment that the setting's most recent products at that point was a string of one bad to unspectacular book after another. Ahh well. As for softcovers, let's see... 4 Player's Class Guides 3 City Books (Mithril, Hollowfaust, Burok Torn) 4 Regional Books (Hornsaw, Calastia, Blood Bayou, Blood Sea) Wilderness & Wasteland Echoes of the Past The Penumbral Pentagon The Faithful & the Forsaken Edge of Infinity Secrets & Societies The Wise and the Wicked 2 Monster books (Ratmen and asaatthi) 2 Gazetteers (Ghelspand & Termana) 3 Adventures (The Serpent Amphora Cycle) And...I'm probably missing some. But that's 25 right there. On top of the 9 hardcovers Psion listed. So 34 books over a 4 year period, with another hardcover coming soon. 35 total. Assuming I haven't missed any or my math didn't screw up somewhere. Not that bad, actually. I'm tempted to say that it's the best supported setting currently out there for 3rd/3.5 edition. You can chalk up another four or so books if you count the novels as well, though I'm inclined not to. And to Numion, I'd say it's definitely the products fault. Past the Termana hardcover, the books for the setting weren't able to once rise above the 'decent' mark by my standards, with a few falling well below it. That's about seven or so books right there. Towards the end, the books went so far as to start alienating some of the buyers. My interest didn't fade in the Scarred Lands because something new caught my interest; rather, my interest faded because the quality of the setting and books went steadily downwards. [/QUOTE]
