Message: <blockquote data-quote="ccooke" data-source="post: 6325346" data-attributes="member: 6695890">The problem is that you declared - in effect - that a number of the posters on this board (and a proportion of the wider community) either don't exist, have a number of false memories or are liars. This is the sort of statement that people can take exception to; I'm presuming that you didn't mean it like that?As to 5e, the Basic is Core. WotC have said so repeatedly. I expect Basic+PHB to be the default game, with selected options from the DMG being group and/or campaign specific. It's going to be interesting to see how things expand from here; setting books adding some setting-specific content, or new subclasses/races being added in adventures (it's probably going to happen eventually; presumably they would be collected in a compendium later). They have said they want to avoid the splatbook treadmill, but there are niches it would be reasonable to expect them to fill in the next couple of years. Dark Sun and Eberron would need their own books, for a start. I'm not sure you'd need a full book for Planescape if it's already in the default setting (although it would be great if they *did* create a full setting book), but a "Planar" book with Planescape, Spelljammer and Ravenloft material together would be really interesting (and the three of them fit quite well together).</blockquote>
