Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hussar" data-source="post: 2635064" data-attributes="member: 22779">I'd like to second this point of view.  I'm not a developer, and I don't want to be.  I do buy d20 products from time to time, but, only after a great deal of research and knowing exactly what I want.  I'd been stung too many times in 3e buying crap to want to shell out cash for something that lines my catbox.I've gotten so bad about not wanting to make radical changes to mechanics that I still refuse to even look at psionics.  I know lots of people say glowing things about the XPH, but, in all honesty, why do I want to plow through another couple of hundred pages of rules, when I could simply create a sorcerer with a different spell list, give him some different feats, and call him a psionicist?  Why do I need an entire new ruleset when the one I've got works?To be quite honest, that's why things like AE, IH, et al don't interest me all that much.  I actually LIKE 3.5 mechanics.  I have no major complaints.  I have no idea if I'm in some tiny minority here, but, really, I think there are a number of gamers like me who don't want to spend the next year or two working out new rules, we just want to game.  Add in a new PrC?  No worries, we can do that.  Add in a new class?  Not a big deal, done it before.  Spend the next few months figuring out a complete rework the spell system into a point based system?  Huh?  What?  No thanks.I personally think Mr Mearls has hit it quite well.  The d20 crowd seems to be cranking out variant games time and time again and, well, I don't want to play a variant game.  I want to play DnD.  And, judging by the WOTC numbers, I'd say that there are lots of people like me who aren't terribly interested in reinventing the wheel with every new book.  Gimme something I can port directly into my game with a minimum of work and I'll buy it every time.  Gimme something that's going to bite into my very small amount of free time before I can even begin to use it?  I'll pass.Just a couple of coppers.</blockquote>
