[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 3350849, member: 48965"] Okay I can kinda see your point, but... There are also a line of "core" D&D books. Books like Antagonists, Second Sight etc. serve the same purpose as the Complete books, Monster manual etc. They don't give you more options specifically for what encompases the Promethean mythos, instead they give you general options for your game that can optionally be added. You don't have to play a Duskblade to face one in a campaign, or supplant an order that features them in a setting. Isn't Eberron basically a "meta-setting"? Anything published by WotC has a place in Eberron. Greyhawk is also a meta-setting, since it is (supposedly) defined by anything in the rules. Allright I totally see it from a cashflow perspective, but what if there is only a limited print run? I often wished WotC would do this for some of the 2nd ed. settings. Mongoose is doing this for Lankhmar and (I believe)the Eternal Champion books. The model is something like this...1 major campaign book(overview of world and detailed write-up of major places), a second campaign supplement(fills in the rest of the general world info and includes a scenario), finally a book of adventures and scenarios in the world. I think something like this for the Planescape, Dark Sun and (Not sure what the third most popular is) would be a cool thing, especially if new races, classes, feats and rules were included in the campaign books. That way it would offer something for those who aren't that interested in the actual world, and a limited print run would probably cause people to rush out and buy it just to have it. Agree. But I wonder at what point the diminishing returns on even a setting such as Forgotten Realms reaches the point that it's books are selling at the same level or below something such as Promethean or Lankhmar. Just a thought, that's all. I agree here as well. I just wish WotC was willing to do the same, even once in a while. I remember when adventures were considered "not worth it" but WotC has suddenly started producing regular adventures and even mega-adventures. With them revisiting classics, I am totally behind this idea. Picked up Ravenloft, gonna grab Demonweb(just cause its got Planescape goodness in it), and also the Greyhawk one. [/QUOTE]
