[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6347433, member: 22424"] I'm reasonably sure bloat is inevitable, at least for any modern version of D&D. Here's the thing: my setting of choice is Eberron. That means that I want conversions for Warforged, Kalashtar, Changelings, Shifters, Artificers, and the Dragonmarks as soon as possible. (I don't actually need [i]the setting[/i] updated - just the mechanics for those things. And, I suppose, some monsters and magic items. (Seriously, I haven't even finished reading Basic and already the lack of those things is off-putting. Though not enough to stop me buying the "big three" when they're out. :) ) But, equally, other players will want Dark Sun available (Muls, Thri-kreen, etc etc), others will want Dragonlance, Ravenloft, Birthright, Spelljammer... Then there's all the monsters that inevitably won't fit in the MM, each of which is no doubt [i]somebody's[/i] particular favourite. So people want all these things, and WotC will want to supply those things. After all, they'd be pretty crazy not to. But while i only want a few things, and you only want a few (different) things, and that guy over there wants another few (different) things, the cumulative result of all of these together is bloat.
