[QUOTE="Kaychsea, post: 6506626, member: 70176"] That still sounds like "Ignore what I don't like and what is left?" The whole point of the strategy for WotC in producing 5e has been quite explicit. The core books are to be the bulk of it. They want to avoid splat-bloat so I doubt we'll see a whole lot of material of that kind. What we don't know that will have a fairly hefty impact on what comes out include: The material included in APs such as the Elemental Evil arc; Material included in setting descriptions; The mechanisms that will allow third party books, whether that be a new OGL or something else. So far we've had the core rules, the starter set and the Tiamat arc. So the rules and two adventures. The staggered release of the core books changes things but how soon after the release of 3e did the splats start coming? Do we start counting from August or December? Or July, when the Basic rules went up? Ultimately the question comes down to what do people want to see being produced. The team is smaller so will be pumping out less stuff anyway and they still seem to be trying to figure out what they can charge for and what is better put up on the site free of charge. How the third party thing pans out is more interesting, but I can't see much coming out that isn't part of a campaign setting or AP. Will it hurt the "Brand". Maybe, but there is a fair head of enthusiasm so far, people are doing their own thing and seem to be enjoying it. Is it possible that it's too soon for people to be bored yet? That there are still things in the core that people haven't got round to trying? [/QUOTE]
