Balance of fluff & crunch: Eberron & FR

[Starman]

Actually, I've come to the conclusion that most books that lead and maintain a high 'fluff' level are passed over in a lot of cases. I personally like lots of fluff myself, but the average buyer just seems to want crunch with a light flavoring of fluff.

Did I just sound like I was talking about food somehow? :\

I'm going to go eat... Later,

I think it is because so many people homebrew. Fluff is a lot harder to insert in a homebrew setting. Crunch is much easier. Anyone can take a prestige class and divorce it from the fluff it was given and rewrite a more appropriate background for the setting, rather than try and retcon some new power group into an established setting. The same goes for feats and new spells.
