I admit that my knowledge of game designers is scanty (apart from a few), and it's great to hear from people who know them and like their work. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />You know, I think there's a mentality around here that "We must get it all!" that really isn't how the Wizards people approach it. They understand that quite a lot of people only get the books they are interested in, so they are providing a range of books that can be excellent to different people.I mean, I'd rather like to "get them all", but the Monster books (Draconomicon, Libris Mortis, Codex Anathema) really don't interest me that much. The monsters really don't get that much attention from me in my games.On the other hand, the adventure (environmental) setting and the characters' roles are very important to my players and me. So, the Complete series gives my players a lot of options to play with, and the Environ series looks like it will help my DMing - providing more interesting locales for the adventures.Meanwhile, you have things like the miniatures which don't really expand the game much, but provide useful tools to play it with.That mentality of "must get it all" can lead to the trap of saying "Wizards is doing badly - I don't like anything they're making!" Although I'm sure it is true for some, if Wizards sell you a couple of products a year, that's not bad!The assumption here is that they sell enough of each book, and that some people that don't normally buy the books (or post here) will buy books from different series.Cheers!</blockquote>
