[QUOTE="Mengu, post: 5261666, member: 65726"] I don't know if the rumor is true or not, but I don't really mind if they discontinue book prints after a year, or really, after they get in CB. I'm done with a player resource book once that happens. So they can discontinue MP, MP2, DP, AP, PP, AV, and AV2 as far as I'm concerned. Same with MM, MM2, MM3. I'll need some more of the information from DMG and DMG2 to appear in Compendium, before I'd be ready to ditch those. Currently I still refer to them occasionally. Obviously campaign resources need to stick around for the time being, until they come up with a campaign tool that incorporates those resources as a piece of software. DDI/CB is *the* character creation book for me. It's what we use to build characters. Once the Essentials Rule Compendium is out, there will be no need for PHB at the game table. I think of player resource books as a preview of what will be in the character builder next month. Currently, the main reason I buy any books is because I'm impatient, and also I can lend them to players who ask to look at them, with the caveat anything they are wowed by is probably updated.
