Message: <blockquote data-quote="Li Shenron" data-source="post: 1860115" data-attributes="member: 1465">It's supposable (but not strictly necessary) that a series has at least 3 books, so I'm curious to know which following releases they have planned for these 2, especially the first one: this WoL seems to me the most different product from the WotC standards, because it seems to have more flavor material than crunch.In the article you linked, it is called Creature series. I don't see the deviation you speak about... in that article the Genre series was already mentioned for 2004.Well, one year ago before the plan for 2nd quarter 2004 we could have thought the same, that there wasn't much left to publish. I don't remember exactly, but we didn't know if Complete books were possibly going to be only 3, we didn't know how many books about the newcoming campaign setting were going to be done, we didn't imagine an Environment series at all, and not even a Genre series or a Magic series, right? We didn't think we were going to see a Planar Handbook because MotP didn't really need a 3.5 update either, and Draconomicon sounded more like a one-shot prestige book rather than the start of a series.This is just to say that IMO WotC was pretty able to surprise us last year, why can't it do so again for a long time?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Eventually there will be a time when ideas will run short, but who knows when? It's also possible that some 3ed versions of other old settings will be published, althought I doubt they will be fully supported like Eberron or FR, instead more like it was done for Dragonlance.However, as a general opinion, I don't think the RP publishing should be treated as computer software production. D&D is not like Windows which can receive infinite updates, because the Windows updates have the point of following the progress of PC hardware and commercial software, which may know no limit (at least in some mid-term perspective...), but that's not the same with a RPG. There could be improvements over the rules of the game, but at some point it won't be possible to make it any better.</blockquote>
