But I imagine these will be more related to themes than just "the big book of options for 2-5 classes"The later 4e books with their mix of crunch and fluff are also likely what some of the side books will look like. A book built around a theme with new options, monsters, rules, and the like. Like Aquatic Adventures featuring underwater options, sailing options, pirate subclasses and the like.I imagine they'll look more like the Advanced Player's Guide for Pathfinder than the 3e or 4e books.  By having options for all classes it dramatically increases the number of people who will want to buy the book. And there should be options equally for existing classes as for old classes; a problem of 4e was that much of the new content tended to be focused around new builds, which made the books less attractive to people already in a game. Plus fewer bigger books help. The regular small books are easy to skip. I regularly bought every utter book during 3e, as there was so many books coming out. Fewer larger books have the same amount of content but make it easier to purchase and each book seems like more of a must-buy product.</blockquote>
