And while one could *easily* say "We're giving you all these Pr.Classes, Feats, Skills, Spells etc so you can *use* them in your game. These are tools for your system." There's a critical piece of information missing here.Not Every GM Is As Creative As A WriterDue to time, or personal inclination - setting information is *also* a valuable part of a release. It makes a book enjoyable to read, it gives a GM tools to make plots, players an understand so the GM doesn't have to spend time he may not have to get them up to speed, and a conceptual whole for a world.Which means - by not providing flavor with the crunch - you're failing the creativity of the audience.Now, to soften this a bit, this is a general rule to apply across the board for all games (and I've played a *lot* so yes - it does apply across the board). But if it's something that the editors of current D20 DnD forget - then, there's a good chance the cash flow will simply migrate elsewhere. Once the players have the core books they need - they'll go someplace else to get the flavors they need.</blockquote>
