[QUOTE="Corpsetaker, post: 6624188, member: 6776548"] How is picking and choosing what you want in your games being a hardcase? That is what D&D has been about since the beginning. The core rules have always been in the PHB and the DMG. Anything else outside of that was created for any DM that wished to use them in their games. I think that is something that has gotten lost in this whole argument. All books were not created as a must have to play, they were created so people could mix and match what they wanted and shape their games into whatever their group or DM wants. I also notice in your post above that you mention outside the overall body of work. I think you have mistaken the game as a whole entirely. The overall game is the corebooks while anything else is optional and outside the overall work. You also seem to assume that more books automatically cause powercreep which they don't. If you want your games to be played a certain way then you go for it, but let me have the options that I want. That's like you saying you don't like apples so I shouldn't have any either. [/QUOTE]
