[QUOTE="gyor, post: 6757986, member: 6670153"] They're not reading the market right, they're own surveys said that people wanted the setting books for they're favourite settings, but they're not bothering to put them out. While setting books might have some player options or be paired with a player guide that does, they don't really contribute to "bloat" as they're usually important to the setting, with some content meant to appeal to a wide audience. I tell you what's going to happen if they don't start supporting thier settings, people a significant chunk of the player base is going to get fed up, and move to RPGs that support thier settings. Maybe it will get to the point where a third party managed to eat WotC's supper like Paizo did in the Pathfinder vs. 4e battle. And Bloat is no excuse not to grow the novel lines, novels don't produce bloat. The only realms Author still writing that I really like is Erin M.Evans (and maybe Troy Denning, but he's only writing the one book). Don't get me wrong, I like some of both Greenwood and Salvatore's novels, but to be honesty neither of them is one of my favourite, nor are either of them one of the forgotten realms best authors. In fact of all the FR novels since the spellplague, the only novels I really liked that Salvatore and Greenwood wrote were the Companions and the Herald (and in the Herald's case there were parts and characters I didn't care for, but I do like Mirt). Bring back Elaine Cunningham, bring back Tim Pratt, bring the Shadowbane novels, being back Richard Lee Byer, being back Paul S. Kemp, and so many others. Bring some fresh talent too. [/QUOTE]
