[QUOTE="Red Castle, post: 9205654, member: 7040765"] Meh, a third DMG focussing more on Epic Level could have been nice, but what would it have really included that wasn’t already covered in the multiple of other sourcebook and magazines? We’re talking about 200+ pages book. I feel like if it was something worth producing, we would have gotten it in 2010, same year they released the PH3 and Monster Manual 3 (focusing more on Epic monsters). As for even more classes, at what point doesn’t it get just repetitive? When they started reworking the classes for essentials, I felt like we pretty much went full circle. To be honest, I don’t really know about the soulblade class (didn’t dig deep into 3e), but as for a gunslinger we made one for a character in my current campaign by using the hunter style ranger (start with the Fast Draw feat) and use guns instead (gave them the same stats as a longbow for balance) and it works perfectly. As for alchemist, if I remember correctly, that’s pretty much what a 4e Artificer is. Regarding more settings, like I said before, I don’t see these books as tied to any edition. If you want to play in Ravenloft, you can easily take the Ravenloft source book from ADnD2, 3e or even 5e… the important part is the lore and it is not tied to rules. As for Modules, sure more adventure would probably be nice… I don’t know, I don’t use them (never bought any except for Keep on the Shadowfell). [/QUOTE]
