[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7471617, member: 6716779"] I think this paragraph here explains a lot from those articles. "But few players kept up. “If you got a 3.5 Player’s Handbook and that’s the only D&D book you have and the only one you read, and then you got the fourth edition Player’s Handbook there was a gap,” Mearls said." You can follow the evolution of 4E through the late 3.5 splats but there is a major problem with that. I threw thousands at 3.x and the minis line and 4E kind of felt like advanced D&D miniatures the RPG and it was also designed by the same people checking the credits in the minis rules books. I had 80 odd 3.x books but I missed a few and I suspect I bought more than most people. I did not get the Book of 9 Swords, Races of the Dragon, Tome of Magic or the Incarnum, Weapons of Legacy book mostly getting things like the PHB2, the FR material, most of the complete series, the mature books, Dragon+Dungeon things like that I have around 400 D&D items on my bookcase, half of that is from the 3E era (80 odd books+ Dragon and Dungeon). Basically couldn't keep up with everything. [/QUOTE]
