[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 4791589, member: 7635"] One more time. There are "roughly" three tiers of material coming for D&D 4e. CORE: These are the main books the game is going to assume you are familiar with. It includes the classes, races, feats, monsters, and such for the "default" D&D game. It also includes much of the PoL fluff (as it is, like deities or such). The first round of core books (PHB, DMG, MM) introduced the basic rules and elements, each "core" since then (II, III) will introduce both additional elements and more complex elements. SUPPLEMENTAL: These are books that enhance play, but are not necessarily required to play. They can be Dragon articles, modules, monster books (Open Grave), X Power books, etc. Unlike the core, very few "new" rules are going to be introduced and there won't be as much cross-referencing from them (such as needing Open Grave to play the Ghoul King module). CAMPAIGN: These are the three-book settings (Realms, Eberron) which include the core elements, may include supplemental at DM's desire, and introduce their own stuff that may/may not be referenced outside of the campaign (so far, Drow, Genasi and swordmage have crossed over into pseudo-core) Most future D&D books will assume you are familiar with the core books (and sequels), then it is DMs choice to add supplemental options and/or a campaign setting.
