[QUOTE="painted_klown, post: 6504764, member: 6785485"] As a new player, a huge factor in me choosing 5E over Pathfinder (to DM) was the non-intimidating stack of books available. Please remember veterans, that a person who hasn't really been exposed to D&D doesn't realize that there are three core books, and that everything else is "extra" (for lack of a better word). Not knowing this leads to confusion, and a tendancy to not want to "buy in" because the books are expeinsive, and they aren't sure where to start. I too love the slower pace, and thought perhaps I was alone in that thought. I want 5E to have a long, popular, and profitable life span. IMO by keeping the books to a minimum, it will foster an enviroment that allows this to happen. Less books at once, more quality when they do come, and a longer life span due to spreading out the release schedule over a longer period of time. All of this is IMO and YMMV, of coure. [/QUOTE]
