Back in 2E I used to dig pretty deep but there was no way I would get as "deep" as TSR got for each setting-even the one's I love! (like GH) I always felt like TSR produced a few (3-6 or so)  books that were *must haves* for my tastes and then a bunch of things so specialized I'd never need an entire book about it. Overkill. Of course FR was the biggest offender. When I go back and look- really look at all the titles in the 1E through 2E FR lineup- yikes.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> 3E- The FR model was better than 2E  but still  way too deep. I saw the quality drop off pretty quick after the first couple supplements though and quit buying. This is why I happen to like the current 4E model for Eberron and The Realms- 2 campaign setting specific books and then the "core" material fits/supports the setting without seeming out of place, and is still usable in my homebrew (or a million others).  I'd likely buy a book or two more that were campaign specific but it would really depend on what they were about. The above is all my wants as a gamer.But when I put on my business thinking cap, no doubt Ari has it right. Times have changed. The D&D business cannot be run like it was 30, 20 ,or even 10 years ago. NO business can.</blockquote>
