[QUOTE="Khairn, post: 3716095, member: 20153"] Oh, I'm already not buying the books. That's a certainty. But now that I'm putting more of their plan together and seeing its money making potential, I want to profit from it. But these books aren't optional, they are core. They'll be core for the RPGA, supported and promoted by the DDI, and tied into the basic 4E game. New adventures provided in E-Dungeon and E-Dragon will introduce the new classes, PrC's, monsters and action zone rules. They'll introduce new rules for FR (in 2008) and Eberron (in 2009), and have them published in the new core PHB and DMG. Try to see it from WotC's point of view and you will see how these all tie in together and promote each other. WotC is re-inventing the game, (not just the physical game but the buyers / sellers game as well) and doing so in a way that many of our paradigms as to what they are providing and what (and how) we will be playing the game are being challenged. Its not necessarily a bad thing and may result in some great adventures for many people, and that's great. But its also looking to be very costly. Look, I've already made my decision, and will be playing 3.5 until I eventually move to one of a number of different games that I'm looking at like Exalted, Runequest and Artesia. I'm just really stunned at the depth of the changes WotC has brought in, and hope that everyone else can see them as well. [/QUOTE]
