[QUOTE="MDSnowman, post: 1941865, member: 6255"] Around this time last year I was condemning almost everything that WotC was putting out. The Book of Exalted Deeds felt forced, and The Complete Warrior's collection of "new" prestige classes were reprints from the splat books and back issues of Dragon. Needless to say I was purchasing most of my books from other publishers. You know what happened since then? Draconomicon and Unearthed Arcana. They restored my faith in WotC's ability to put out good work. Since then they've put out the uninspired race books and environment books that make one wonder if they're out of ideas again. But I've noticed a silver lining, Complete Divine and Complete Arcane weren't as bad as Complete Warrior, and Eberron is a breath of much needed fresh air. Liber Mortis proved to be entertainging. So far however the only thing that's knocked my socks off was Eberron. Then I realized the fallacy in my own thinking. I've thought, and I think a lot of people on these boards share this problem, that everything from WotC has to be either gold or crap. But at the end of the day they're just like evey other publisher, they're going to drop some real stinkers, especially with the whole book of the month approach, but they're going to release some real thought provoking books too, and I like that. When it comes to books I think are illconcieved guess what I'll do? I won't buy it. That's why I don't own a copy of Races of Destiny. [/QUOTE]
