[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 6297377, member: 2067"] I'd say the best suspects right now are "adventure bloat" (they've got adventures out for the game NOW, and the thing ain't even out yet!) and "campaign option bloat" (given modularity) and possibly general "book bloat" (if they go OGL again). But complaints against bloat have always struck me as a particular 1st world OCD kind of complaint. "Waaaah, I have too much delicious food and not enough room in my belly and I need to use the vomitorium.", "Boo hoo boo hoo I have too much money and no worthy investments that will give me more.", "Oh no, my favorite pass time is giving me too much to do with it, this is the worst possible scenario!" It's not a problem if all you're worried about is what you're going to do in your home game next weekend. I guess "employee bloat" isn't something we expect 5e to have. ;) I would be a bit surprised if there AREN'T layoffs later this year form WotC -- new editions require a bigger team than sustaining editions do. If I was Mike, I wouldn't plan on being at WotC in 2016. But this is the model of employment these days. If you have the same job for more than 2 years, someone somewhere is probably doing something wrong. :p [/QUOTE]
