I am in complete agreement with that statement. As they say on the Colbert Report, it has a sort of "truthiness" to it. My reasons for dropping this version are of course quite personal in that I find that the push for purchasing the splatbooks for D&D is always there. When you have X players who are continuously buying these books and want to use them in the game, you can't help but generate a little resentment by saying, "sorry, we're just sticking to the 3 core books and that's it." Even if I make that absolutely clear at the beginning of a campaign and all players agree to it, the desire to eventually bring in new options will slowly creep in. It's part of the culture of D&D to bring in these options to keep the line viable. Do I have a choice? Of course I do. And I know that maybe my arguements may be somewhat slanted, but really, who's aren't really. I don't think many people can make a completely even arguement without biases slipping in. It's human nature. I would like to thank everyone for their input. EnWorld has proven once again why it is such a useful community. I got to see differernt sides to this issue in a very open and kind manner. Heck, the UN wished they had it so good.Keep Smilin'  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
