[QUOTE="The Little Raven, post: 5332020, member: 10095"] And if they want to get into the game enough to get most of the options, they'll learn all about the previous books and DDI and all that. We may see an Essentials familiar and whatnot, but I sincerely doubt it. And I can't shake the feeling that people are jumping to conclusions without actual support. This issue of Dragon has 3 Essentials articles, one of which has feats that non-Essentials classes can use. All the rest are not Essentials stuff. Sure, the Dwarf article says Essentials-compatible (which it would be simply by being 4e rules), and it uses the feat organization (which I like), but is for any 4e dwarf, Essentials or not. Then we've got the Battlemind, Genasi, Mul, Athas Monster Hunters, Realms Shadar-Kai, Bazaar of the Bizarre, Traveling Athas... I mean, if 3 Essentials articles means pre-Essentials is screwed, then what does 3 Dark Sun articles mean? That all other settings are screwed? Let's wait until Essentials stuff starts getting at least as many articles as non-Essentials, if not more, before we claim that Essentials is killing "legacy" 4e and taking its stuff. [/QUOTE]
