Players Handbook: The Grouptesting Strikes Back!
Makes sense. And since Mearls is opposed to recreating old products, we probably won't get "Unearthed Arcana" either.
Not that it matters. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
I should clarify, they didn't say there would not be a book serving the purpose of a PHB II, only that they don't plan to use that kind of title.
They also tried to move away from ths in the DnD esentials line (4E).
The 2 books that contained races and classes in that line where called Heroes of the Fallen lands and Heroes of the forgotten kingdom.
Yep. Unfortunately, they were so focused on avoiding one particular mistake, they dove straight into making another - specifically, trying to sell two books with largely duplicated content, each containing only half of the classes people 'needed'.
