[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7856736, member: 177"] Well, that brings up a point - there's at least two versions of "the current publication pace is too slow." In one, the issue is that they are not getting to the specific thing the person wants ("I want Psionics. It isn't out yet. Therefore, the pace is too slow.") In the other, it is simple a desire for new and different ("I get bored. I want new things. I don't get enough new things. Therefore the pace is too slow.") There's a bit of an assumption in the first kind of person - that the thing they want really is on the list of priorities, and would certainly come around if they just did more stuff. Maybe that asumption is correct, and maybe it isn't. For the latter kind of person, a new thief is still new, and that's fine. I expect to start playing an Artificer character on Friday. But I was not [I]waiting for[/I] the artificer. When a game came around, the GM just said, "Dude, I think you'd find this nifty." I will get to play it for one character. I don't need to, play it 17 ways from Sunday. The class itself is not a thing I am playing with - I am playing a character who has the class. [/QUOTE]
