[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6395388, member: 177"] Note that "splatbook" does not equal "supplement". A splatbook is specifically a supplement targetting a particular character type. If you have a fighter-book, a wizard-book, a rogue-book, a cleric-book, this generalizes to having *-books. Where the asterisk is a wild card, and another word for the * character is "splat". Thus "splatbook" I don't think the system is well made for splatbooks. I think it is better geared toward campaign theme or style books (a city campaign book, a tactical combat heavy book, and so on), where each book touches on all the classes. I don't like the splatbook model for one very simple reason: Say the fighter book comes out. The folks playing fighters in my game can get new interesting stuff. But the clerics? They are stuck until their book comes out. If it is a campaign-theme book then everyone gets the options at once. [/QUOTE]
