[QUOTE="SubMensa, post: 1598917, member: 12858"] Myself I also find the latest batch of books released by WOTC to be lacking. Maybe it is because they dont have any real flavor of their own. the complete series is just a glorified rewrite of the splatbook series (Sword and Fist, Tome and Blood...) The splatbooks helped to further define 3rd Edition when it first came out. Options for character development were lean in the early days of 3e.They were and still are heavily used in my group. however if they were to come out today I dont think I would not pick them up. No real flavor of their own, they are just compilations of additional prestige classes as options to add to any campaign. I'm looking for more than just rules now, I want interesting stories, jump off points for adventure. The Forgotten Realms Campaign Sourcebook, and from what I've seen Eberron both give that. Sure they are generally rulebooks. But they give fuel for the imagination as well. Hooks for new characters to be hooked to the campaign world with. I think that anytime he writes "deceived" he really means dissapointed because they did not meet his expectations. Correct me if I am wrong however Turanil, dont let me put words into your mouth if that wasnt your desired meaning. [/QUOTE]
