[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 4461325, member: 9053"] That is a very good point by WizarDru concerning the staggered launch of the books in 3X days. The thing is, when 3.0 came out, I was down at my FLGS every month to pick something up, because the products interested me, but also because of the buzz that this very web site had created, along with Dragon magazine, which I started picking up again from right before the launch of 3E and kept up for about a year. This time? Not so much. I'm only speaking personally, but I detect a distinct lack of the same level of interest. In looking at the Adventurer's Vault, for example, they're aren't any threads about it on the first three pages of ENWorld at the moment, at least when I did a quick scan. The rest of the books just aren't that exciting to me...Adventurers Vault would be if I didn't already have the MIC for 3X...it seems so odd to release it so close to launch when it was also one of the last releases for 3X. Manual of the Planes will join all of the other planes books from TSR/WotC that I haven't bought. Again, I wonder "what were they thinking?" What I would be interested in seeing is books that expand the role of the wizard and cleric back to levels close to what they were in the previous core editions. I can't be alone in that thought, so I wonder at the delay in releasing Arcane and Divine Power. Maybe some to the new books will come out with a "wow!" factor (I hope so!) but I haven't seen anything that wows me yet. --Steve [/QUOTE]
