I think the era of 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons had it right. (not talking about the rules).

[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 6930316, member: 6785785"] Sure, I don't disagree with [MENTION=996]Tony Vargas[/MENTION] as far as preference. I don't blame anyone for wanting the kinds of material we've all come to expect...player options, setting books, and so on. I'm sure we'll get those kinds of options before too long, and I'll likely buy some of them. For example, I'll be getting Volo's Guide when it comes out. I was just stating my preference given that I want to see this edition succeed and last. And I think the shift they've shown in slowing the release schedule from prior editions is the key to their early success. I want a slow release schedule, not a non-existent one. Given that, I'd prefer if players and DMs embraced homebrew ing and third party material. I don't think it's generally as difficult as many make it out to be, or as time consuming as folks think. I'd prefer that because I'd rather see a thread where someone says "hey look at this thing I made to fit a need in my game" than I would see a thread that's more "this edition sucks because it doesn't have the Exampler Class (tm)". Because even if WotC does produce something that many seem to want...let's say they put out a Warlord class...first, it's not going to satisfy everyone, and second it's not going to stop people from then complaining about not having a Psion or what have you. 5E seems eminently customizable, so I'd prefer players creating their own solutions to the problem, or finding those solutions from other players, rather than expect WotC to provide everything.
