[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 6533731, member: 957"] I strongly agree that there is no reason to be worked up over lack of new books at this time. But for me, I do see some parts as incomplete (Sorcerer, the range of feats, etc) and there is no tone suggesting that this content is forthcoming anytime soon at all. So, again, I'm not turning my back on the game. It is a great fundamental game. But there are other choices with more richness of material. Also, ever since I was a kid I've always enjoyed buying and reading game materials. I want more stuff to buy and read. And if I'm just buying PF stuff over the next 8 months, then 8 months from now I'm going to be more inclined to play PF. Which is not a problem for me. I also love PF. I'm not putting one game up as a means of putting another down. I'm just observing the balance between the two. I've never understood the "too much stuff" position. Don't use it. It doesn't hurt you to not buy material that does exist any more than it does to not buy material that doesn't exist. So why should people who want it be denied? (WotC can make whatever business choices they want, different conversation there) I have a ton of 3E books. I have way way more than I ever could or will use. Some of them I regret buying. Many, many of them I've enjoyed reading, got my money's worth out of, and they have minimal or zero presence in my games. A small portion are key parts of my gaming experience. The number of broken combinations in my books are countless. My group of players is cool and we don't take two books that did not have each other in mix and mix them in ways that have unintended consequences. And if one book alone is broken (plenty of those out there) we don't use the book. Bottom line, it isn't about "need", it is about the vast range of options and using the best one. 5E has work to do if it wants to be the "best" one 18 months from now. It has the foundation to easily make that happen. But it has work to do. [/QUOTE]
