[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 3847169, member: 48965"] I still contend that majority of people who are being "negative" want clarification on what's in these books. I've seen a ton of differing interpretations on what exactly these books are. Are they a history of classes and monsters under D&D thus making the books 90% stuff we already know with maybe 10% new stuff? Are they previews of the fluff of 4th ed.? Are they insights into the design processes of 3.5 & 4th? Just 4th? Or again throughout D&D's history? Design comentary on things that are actually in the 4th ed. game? New artwork/ recycled art with a few new pieces sprinkled in? For all those so quick to jump on the "don't buy them if you don't want them.", I say how can I make an informed decision without information on what these books contain. Apparently you all have some kind of insider information...or are psychic and already know what's in the books (though to date I've seen wildly varying assumptions on this board about what these books will contain). For me, I'd like to know what I'm buying before laying my money down. Scott Rouse was asked repeatedly to clarify what information these books will contain and, all of a sudden it's too much negativity...Please. His silence leaves me with the impression that these books will have alot more recycled and even useless information and art (so far as actual material that will see it's way into 4th ed. is concerned).
