Message: <blockquote data-quote="MrMyth" data-source="post: 5599214" data-attributes="member: 61155">What do you mean by "more easily ignored", exactly? You can play without PHB3 and Psionics, and this likely also means you play without any products that rely on it, such as Psionic Power. And, similarly, you may not get the full effect of other products that reference it, like Dark Sun or some Dragon magazine articles.  You can, similarly, play without Heroes of the Forgottllen Kinglands, and this means you also get limited effect from products that reference it, such as Heroes of Shadow or some Dragon magazine articles.  Your existing game remains completely playable as is, either way. Bill isn't going to crash into your house and mess with your campaign, as I understand it.  Again, what is it that is "harder to ignore"? Heroes of Shadow has more usable content for non-Essentials characters than Psionic Power had for non-PHB3 characters or Primal Power had for non-PHB2 characters.  Maybe all future books will have 0 content for non-Essentials characters, but that again gets into hypotheticals - and the majority of evidence thus far, despite the quote you have provided, seems to indicate that won't be the case.  Look, I know you aren't saying that the sky is falling, and some folks might be treating it as though you are. But I think you are making statements that just don't seem supported, and people are looking for a little more explanation. As it is, you point to Bill's quote as though that answers everything - but for me, the actual releases we've seen, and comparing them to similar releases following previous 4E books, seems far more relevant to the discussion and the comparison of what can and cannot be 'ignored'.</blockquote>
