One look at a massive bookcase of books in a game store, relative to a few books in a new edition, and I think the contrast will be pretty noticeable to a new player.  I was shocked at just how much content for Pathfinder there was at my local game store these days.  It's definitely daunting to look at, if you have not even started playing yet.Wow.  So Morrus' instincts were correct, it is about what the peak TSR output was!That...is probably not a good sign.</blockquote>
