[QUOTE="Shardstone, post: 7858755, member: 6807784"] Keith Baker doesn't work for WotC, so his FAQ has no impact on what I've been saying. Here's the most important tweet (notice that this was published after Wayfinder's came out; same day, but some hours after - this is important because people like me who already bought it would not have had we known some of this info): [MEDIA=twitter]1021496102800056321[/MEDIA] Mearls directly says we will be happy owning both Wayfinder's and the likely to come print book (which we now know is Rising). Why would anyone be happy owning both? Wayfinder's comes out. Has good setting info. Everything mechanical in the book is then released through Unearthed Arcana, which we were told would happen after people started buying it. But ok, Rising comes out. Surely there will be stuff in Wayfinder's only that makes owning the book satisfying. But almost all of Wayfinder's is copied WORD FOR WORD and put into Rising and expounded upon. Anyone who tries to tell me that I should be satisfied owning both is talking complete nonsense. And to make the matters worse? I bought Wayfinder's PDF. I bought Rising on DND Beyond. When I bought Rising, it gave me Wayfinder's for free on DND Beyond. Wayfinder's is literally useless. If you buy Rising on DND Beyond, they acknowledge this and just give you the entire Wayfinder's Guide for free. That's how useless it is. That's how useless my $20 dollar purchase was. If I had just waited, all the mechanics would have been given to me for free, and all the setting information AND tables were included in Rising, AND I got the original Wayfinder's for free. Miss me with that. Wayfinder's was handled exceedingly poorly and is borderline a scam before it is anything else. [/QUOTE]
