It's not blasphemy to say you're tired of the rules glut. I love 3rd Edition. It brought me back to the game. But part of what killed the game during 2nd Edition for me was the rules bloat, and they are reaching that stage now. I think they are also hardening their market against 4th Edition's release, whenever that is.
3.5 was both too much and too little. I am really getting tired of the "dot whatever" in every aspect of entertainment. Seasonal shows are now giving us "Season 2.5" and it blows.
At this point, I have two shelves of books for 3rd Edition. Most of them, I use only occasionally. Most of my money is going into miniatures and terrains, and things that will last no matter what edition of the game I'm playing.
If WotC thinks I'm going to buy ANOTHER two shelves of the same books over the next several years, they've got another thing coming. I find myself more attracted to campaign settings and d20 rules sets that don't reboot every three or four years, like Iron Heroes and Conan d20, and Midnight. Less books, more flavor.
And God, yes. I'm so tired of prestige classes (nearing 1,000 in WotC's published materials), and feats.
