[QUOTE="kensanata, post: 3366071, member: 47845"] I absolutely prefer fluff-only. I don't need skills, feats, or prestige classes when I'm buying campaign settings or adventures. I do like stat blocks for NPCs and monsters, if they are important. I don't think NPC stats are important in campaign settings. At least in my games, chances are really slim for my players fighting ruler X or high priest Y. Leave the NPC stats for adventures. I'm currently using the Kitsunemori Campaign Setting and I liked the fluff; geography, history, clans, gods, etc. The only rules I enjoyed were monster stat blocks (keep using them all the time), NPC stats (those I have never used, however), and some details on how shrines are supposed to work (I'm using a much simplified form). Most of the crunch goes into much more detail than I plan to use in my games. I have not used the new classes, I have not used the new magic system for Kitsune. Too complicated. I just use regular magic instead. All Kitsune are magic users. Having rules available separately on a few pages or on the web makes sense. If we're talking Avadnu, and there's a famous monster book out already, then I'd hope for 98% fluff.
