[QUOTE="BobTheNob, post: 5222899, member: 82425"] Just poking around to get a feeling for how other might view this. Our group has (with some house ruling) eagerly embraced every new publication from woc like we just couldn't get enough. (p.s. What follows is opinion. I am keen to here other views, and if you disagree with me, please say so, but dont flame) But the latest set of publications (Players 3 especially, MP2 to a lesser degree) we found ourselves just saying "meh". In a game already so broad with options, yet more keep slapping on top and it just feels like we have reached a point where we are saying.....do we need more races and classes? This game is already a-flood with more options than previous editions ever boasted, and when PHB3 came out, our group gave it the most lackluster reception of any text released and in the end, it wasnt that the races and classes were not good, it just, well, we already had so many to pick from, more didn't make a difference. Don't even get me started of the breadth of paragons we have available. The effect I am noticing is that, if anything, races, classes and paragons are just starting the bleed into each other, and overlap in purpose, loosing clarity. It almost feels like I (meaning my perception of the game) have reached the limit of new races classes and paragons available, and all I really want from future material is refinement of what is already there as opposed to new options we just don't need. So, is anyone else sharing this feeling, or am I a lunatic? [/QUOTE]
