[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 1259869, member: 939"] What's the problem, here? It is all about choice. GM (for those poor souls who actually buy their cars) puts out dozens of models, many of them rather redundant and competing against each other. But that isn't a problem - people by the car they need. There is no D&D police force that will go out and arrest you if you don't use certain books for your campaign. More books can mean only good things. Wizards stays in business, making money; wizards gives lots of options for varying styles of play. Look at the thread here on level of power for gaming - obviously, tastes vary greatly. As a consumer, I love having more choice in the market. As a gamer, I like having other options to look at. The way I've run my games, I'd never say a wizards book is off limits, but if someone wanted to play something out of the core, I'd take a look at it first. I don't need to read the whole damn book, I can just look at the part of it my player is interested in using for a PrC or whatever it is. Then I can decide if it is in or not. Takes five minutes to read a PrC. I don't see the schedule as all that intense anyway - Warrior replaces a bunch of splatbooks. I assume Divine will as well - so it is more like updated/new stuff, letting the softcover splat books act as shelf-stuffers. So I say, bring 'em on. More options are always better for the consumer. Think of the alternative - who here would really cheer if they stopped publishing new books altogether? What good is that, anyway? You always have the option NOT to buy a new book on warriors - but it is nice to also have the option TO buy, by virtue of it having been published in the first place. [/QUOTE]
