[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6920773, member: 2525"] I do not care what your standards are for official or unofficial, and have no idea why you'd think you can set the standard for what "counts" for my experiences. It's really completely unrelated to the topic of whether I can personally keep up with the amount of 5e material I am acquiring. I already explained some of it isn't even from WOTC (Priemeval Thule Campaign Setting, Tome of Beasts, Fifth Edition Foes, Monster-A-Day, EN5inder). If you want to constrain the topic to "Just official WOTC stuff, and only if that stuff is in a hardbound book" for things you talk about, that's fine. But, I was talking about my experiences with the 5e material I've gotten. And there is a ton of it. WAY more than I got for 4e. And I explained why so much of it is harder to keep up with. I find "new class option which is a minor tweak on some other classes option" (which is what I found a lot of the 4e material to be) to be far easier to digest than "Setting story material for this region" or "Here is an optional rule to fundamentally change how all healing works in the game". The quantity of words for the minor class tweak might be far greater than the quantity of words for the other two, but the time to actually digest their meaning for the games I run is vastly different despite the quantity of words.
