[QUOTE="ggroy, post: 4841382, member: 83805"] Wonder what they will have left for proliferating bloat in the future, which has not been tapped yet so far. From looking at the WotC 3E/3.5E catalog, I wouldn't be surprised if they will start doing some "Races of ..." books again as an easy target. If amazon.com is a reliable guide, there's already a "Player's Handbook Races: Dragonborn" book scheduled for released in Jan 2010. Assuming this is not a misprint for a miniatures set, the amazon.com listing mentions it will be a 32 page softcover book. If WotC ends up doing this for every playable race in the PHB's, they may publish 32 page softcover "Player's Handbook Races" books for: - dragonborn - tiefling - human - elf - half-elf - eladrin - gnome - shifter - halfling - dwarf - gensai - drow - half-orc - goliath - deva etc ... It will be interesting to see how much new crunch will be in these books. If I had to guess, these races books may very well possibly lean more towards the fluff side. [/QUOTE]
