Crunch is a waste of pages in my game and i wont buy any book thats mainly crunch. I mean really, how many spells do you need so that your PC's wizards never have to research one, or how many magic items and monsters do you need so you never need to create one? Crunch is a total waste of my dollars. I can make my own spells, classes and monsters for free. I refuse to pay for something we as a group can create ourselves.     I and my players can make our own classes, prestige classes. and feats. We actually enjoy the creative aspect of gaming and get annoyed when WOTC tries to take our creative control away from our game with some new suplement. At this point WOTC is just looking for a payoff from lazy gamers and DM's.      If i look at a book and it has a lot of fluff, tons of history, culture and goals for the people involved in it, well then thats creative writing and it makes my job as DM easier. If its full of crap, then i dont need it. If you take half to the WOTC books out allready then every usefull class, spells, skill, feat, and magic item has been covered.       WOTC is famous for the slightly altered rip off from 2nd ed too. Well guess what WOTC? I am capable of taking a +2 this from 2ed and making it a +2 that in 3ed without paying you 40$. I bought that book allready and i am not paying you again for the privelege of reprinting old work.     In my opinion WOTC hasnt put out a single thing worth buying in over a year. I have eyeballed them all, flipped through some pages in gaming stores and decided that WOTC has worked too long and hard to take my money for ideas that TSR put out a decade ago. WOTC is lazy, and sloppy. Running D&D is more complex then reprinting ever more expensive MAGIC cards for 10 year olds every few months. And so they have failed serius gamers. They have attempted to rob us by reprinting old crap like we are 8 year olds who can cry to our parents for whatever new thing is on the market, whether its worth having or not.    The D20 system is so simple that if you cant create your own additions you shouldnt be playing, much less DMing. Crunch is easy. Creating a new balanced class or feat can be done in  30 minutes. Making something fit into a culture or creating an entire class or culture from scratch is creative writing. It takes days and involves way more thought and imagination.</blockquote>
