[QUOTE="Cbas10, post: 1255299, member: 6459"] Aside from the fact that Complete Warrior was almost ALL completely rehashed material (I thought promotions stated only a quarter or so was rehash), it was not HORRIBLE. Even though it was recompiled Dragon Magazine and Sword & Fist material, having it in a single source and in Hardcover format is quite handy. I'll give Complete Divine a chance. Incidentally, is Unearthed Arcana more or less a "Complete Arcane" without following the same naming theme? D&D Dice in a velvet bag? They better be very nice, including some sort of cool symbol instead of the number "1" or something. Chessex is doing far too good of a job for Hasbro to be able to push any cheapo-crap. I'm fairly interested in the Players' Planar Guide, regardless of any potential ties to Planescape or Spelljammer. I just hope to banish the tendancies to think that, with the right spell or two, plane-hopping can be just as easy and casual as running down to the corner store for the new +12 bastard sword. As for the races-based book (and line of them, I presume) I really hope to see a lot more content on cultures, descriptions, religious practices, and other non-rules material. We have feats and prestige classes dropping out of every orifice in our bodies; lets get some really good and meaty deep information in a source that is not just for Forgotten Realms. I'm not all that hip on Eberron, Star Wars, or the Forgotten Realms material. It may be VERY good, I admit, BUT...material found in setting-specific books tends to be more work than it's worth to convert over to the setting I actually use. Speaking of which...can anyone answer this: if Greyhawk is the "default setting" why is there absolutely no support for it? Why not make Forgotten Realms the base setting and be done with it? The Basic set is a VERY good idea, and I'll certainly be picking up each set of minis as they come out (except Star Wars). Regarding the minis, 99% of the times that I am using them is during my D&D games. The skirmish battle system is great for running my mass-combat system (a combination of D&D minis rules and that found in AEG's Swashbuckling Adventures), but is only marginally interesting on its own.
