Also not all gorups have time to play a nice coherent story arc (which woudl suck IMHO but tha'ts life)And having things replicated is good because I suspect they know many DM's will slap their books down onto a copier and print it out, taking htos epages to their sessions, rather than the whole heavy book <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Some folk liek deep involved RP (me and my mates do, plus heavydollosp of over the top mayhem and skullduggery, hehe)Others just love dungeons crawls.Each to his own <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=":)" /> So it's not an issue for me. Except the art (note below and other thread)(And less said about WOTC the better, sigh <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> )Wormwood,agreed! <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=":)" />my one gripe though is lack of artistic evocation in page layout in 4th ed.Great for clarity, bad for evoking "D&D". Personally I wish they'd add nice borders around the crisp text blocks, use evocative fonts for "fluff" and so on, so you have crisp precision for crunch, and beautiful fluff to evoke the atmosphere (hence my other post today).</blockquote>
