Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 6601757" data-attributes="member: 2525">I am pleased with the current rate of publications for 5e, for a variety of reasons:1) I like to buy just about everything they put out because of a collector instinct, but I can't really afford to buy much more than their current release rate, and I definitely don't have the time to read much more than their current release rate.2) The more they release, the more variations my players desire from those releases, and that means the more I need to review and check to see how it works with other things and unexpected combinations, how it fits with our campaign, what direction it will send things, etc. and I don't have time for that.3) The more they release, based on history, the less time they spend playtesting the releases, which results in shoddier quality for those releases.4) The more they release, based on history, the less evergreen the core books become, as the weight of releases combine to pressure the company to update the rules to make all those new releases more conformed to core.  Thus we get things like compendiums, 3.5e, Essentials, etc.. which tends to disrupt campaigns and cause edition wars in the places I like to visit as the rift between the new and the old causes hard feelings, etc.I am sure I can think of more reasons why I like this current rate of release, but I am sure you get the point.Sorry you prefer something different.  I hope you stick around.</blockquote>
