If you equate "that is not my style" with "garbage" then you are essentailly insulting everyone who bought any such publication. I think they do a darn good job at trying to put something out there for everyone in a format that is open and non-restrictive (as a setting as it stands is). I can takle aspects from 10 books and blend them into my own world; all because they are not exclusivly part of something else. My world is mine - marketing says that is what the majority wanted; you are in the minority.I doubt that anyone would buy all their books right at print (including me); but if they have enough out there for long enough you might. The books are for reference and if you play long enough you'll probably use most of all of them in part or whole (unless you play the same setting/environment forever) - most worlds have deserts, seas, mountains, jungles...dwarves, mountians, giants, etc. Anything you do costs money - gaming included. People go to bars and drop 50 bucks on beer in a night without blinking an eye; you can buy a book for half that and have it for decades - less the intestinal issues and hangover. People will go skining for 10 times that in a weekend - gamers like to game that is our recreation and social life; or at least a part of it.If one thinks things are overpriced; perhaps you should find a new hobby that is less costly. There is a reason I do not own a collection of vintage muscle cars, Rolls Royces and/or Ferraris (or even one of any of those!).</blockquote>
