That silly square shaped book annoyed me to no end.  I think half the reason why they did it was so they had less space per page and thus sold something for more money with less content.   Even still I really liked their Talent tree concept.  I think DnD would have been better if they had gone that way instead of the more cinematic Vancian powers that is 4e.   So now I have all the Saga books.  What if I want to start a game with another group besides my normal one?   It won't be long before they can't even buy the main rule book.  I'll have to share my books and that makes for a slow game and ignorant players.  So after a year or two I bet the people playing the game will be a fraction of what it was just because people can't get the rules.  I know WotC doesn't really care about that.  They got my money.  That's all that really counts to them.   I do think they are shooting themselves in the foot though.  They should at least keep printing the books they have.</blockquote>
