[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 9228961, member: 63508"] Again. Where is the publisher's money coming from if they don't print many crunch books? That's what I've been saying? What about the publisher? What about the rest of the community? I keep reading this thread and I keep getting the "I only care about these 3 things so put them in the core books and drip feed everything else I don't care about and never reset the core books. Screw everyone else." Vibe. You only need 4 classes up front You only need 10 classes up front You only need 4 races up front You only need 10 races up front You can paste Feats on later as optional You can paste Subraces on later as optional You can paste Skill on later as optional You can paste Multi/Dual classing on later as optional I don't care for (Core Class in 3e/4e/5e) so you can print them later I don't care for (Core Race in 3e/4e/5e) so you can print them later The Feat rules don't have to be balanced if optional The Multiclassing rules don't have to be balanced if optional The Magic Item rules don't have to be balanced if optional Etc etc You know what I'm not gonna do if you don't put a bunch of favorite aspect in the game and tell me that you won't add or support them for 2-4 years... Buy your book. I barely tolerate 5e's slow schedule due to 3PP and [B]only[/B] WOTC could afford so many 3PP eating off their game. And it takes WOTC taking money from DMGuild and PHB/MM/DMG selling like gangbusters. And even that wasn't enough. Imagine a publisher that breaks even with only $2M revenue? You cant live forever on that. [/QUOTE]
