[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7863043, member: 22779"] Apologies for breaking this up piecemeal, but, you have a few different issues here. Of course. That's generally what's being done. We get new monsters, classes, rules in modules right now. Ghosts of Saltmarsh includes naval rules for example. Well, there is the case of scale here. A single page for a Firbolg or Tabaxi using existing mechanics is hardly the same as a 300 page rulebook for psionics. Note, none of those are developed in house and all of them are licensed out. I think. I could be wrong there. But, like the early 5e modules, the work isn't being done in house. What other non-generically useful books? After the core 3, Volo's, Xanathar's and ...sorry,what other monster book? what is there? Modules AFAIK. That's it. SCAG I suppose. But, even that is directly tied to five or six other products. It basically boils down to this. If it's not going to sell in the 100k books range, WotC isn't interested in doing it. It's that simple. Is a psionic book going to sell like that? I dunno, but, I doubt it since none ever have. Now, if they do a Darksun book, similar to the Eberron book, then, sure, that's where the psionics is going to be found. I can totally see that. But, that's also going to appeal to much broader segment of the audience than just psionic fans. [/QUOTE]
