[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 7990895, member: 14159"] I'll admit that I'm not really up on 5th edition and it's culture, I basically dropped out of D&D culture when 4th edition came out. . . . . .but why would it not being used by a majority of players be a reason to not publish a book? Since when is "it has it's own book" a downside? D&D has had books or classes that were niche for decades, you'd have to go back to 1st edition with its handful of hardbacks to get away from that. Is that seriously the mindset WotC is in now? As someone who's looking at 5e and thinking of maybe trying to learn it, this idea is rather off-putting and frankly baffling. Though that does explain many of the huge gaps and shortcomings that 5e has, like a total lack of epic-level support. "Hey, we know that you and a significant chunk of fans [I]really [/I]want this. . .but since a majority of fans wouldn't use it or don't like it, we're not going to publish it.". . .when the heck has THAT been the publishing mindset for D&D?
