Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 8425304" data-attributes="member: 7006">I don't have any problem with anything that is being produced, just like I didn't have any problems with the books already produced.  And this is true even with the fact that I haven't actually bought a lot of them.I honestly am perfectly fine playing and running D&D with whatever I have at hand and don't care one way or another if other books that might be useful to me are published.  If one is and I can make use of it, great!  Then I will.  But if five books in a row are ones that I have no use or need for... okay, no big deal.  Won't buy any of them and that's fine.  But that doesn't matter to me at all because I have plenty of material and ideas already to run plenty of games for as long as I need.  Heck... I have Google... and thus I have several thousand "D&D books" worth of material at my fingertips right now to put together campaigns in any setting I might want... so who cares if WotC isn't publishing it in a single book?Now there of course is something to be said for having WotC publish a single book that pulls a lot of stuff together of one thematic idea for ease-of-use if nothing else.  But even when they do so... I personally NEVER use just what is in that book-- I go outside the book and find all kinds of other stuff that I can use in addition to it, because the book is never written with just me and my requirements in mind.  It's a book meant for an average and certain type of DM and player... so I go into it knowing full well that I am going to make it my own by using it as a springboard for my own complete work, adding, subtracting, writing, re-writing, editing, and all that stuff so that it works for me and what I want.  And which is why I don't write-off any book that WotC publishes as "not for me"... because any of them at any point might have some things in them worth cribbing from.  And if that's the case, then I'll buy it.</blockquote>
