[QUOTE="The Little Raven, post: 4010205, member: 10095"] This has nothing to do with anything I've been talking about. At all. Where does "I want publishers to make books with new content, because I want them to earn my dollars with real work instead of just reprinting huge chunks of someone else's books" translate into "Every book they put out has to pull an Eberron and put everything in the core in the game?" I think you are wrong. Having a classes section/chapter that says "We don't use the Sorcerer or Wizard" isn't exactly challenging in any definition of the word. Nor is stating "The Warrior uses the class traits of the Fighter," instead of reprinting the fighter, word for word, and simply changing "fighter" to "warrior." I'm sorry, but if that's a "pain," then maybe they shouldn't be publishing books. I'm happy because it means that publishers will actually have to provide new content, and won't have to option to do the lazy cut-and-paste. When I'm spending $40 on a book, having 1/4 of it being reprinted content from another $30 book I own is simply a travesty. The only way the "reprint some stuff" excuse would fly is if they were doing things to make the game distinctly different from core D&D, and the WoW RPG doesn't do that in the slightest. In fact, it fits the definition of a fantasy heartbreaker, since it's not different enough to justify being it's own game (as opposed to just a D&D setting). [/QUOTE]
