[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 3780968, member: 1465"] Mmm... it's a good idea in the eyes of someone who plan to follow the evolution of the game. But what about those who will enter the game 2-3 years from now, will look at the books and think "D&D... sounds like a nice game, maybe I should check it out", and then discover that they need to buy 9 books to play with everyone else? In previous editions the game didn't change every year (although there were some updates in splatbooks and articles), it was instead very modular. You bought the core books and you played the game. If you liked it, you had tons of additional books you could choose to buy to expand your game. Maybe it's going to be the same way as before... but maybe not, if instead of add-ons it starts working with patches. For someone who is going to buy all the books anyway, it's an improvement. But what about all the "we so much want new gamers in the hobby", if the entry barrier becomes higher every year? [/QUOTE]
