[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 3491176, member: 13703"] In response to the OP, I don't understand people complaining about the amount of supplements coming out. If you don't want them in your game, don't buy them! No one is forcing you to. For the people that want them, they are there. Everybody wins, right? :confused: I think that some people think that if it has been released for the game, they have to buy it. Either that or they have players that think that because it has been released by WotC, their DM has to let them use all the kewl new stuff in it in his game. If you are a DM in this situation and you don't want product X in your game, tell your players that you won't be using it. They can then either deal with it or find a game that does allow product X in it. (I know in reality it isn't quite that simple, but if you communicate with your players, most things can be sorted out without too much trouble.) Of course there are some people that complain that instead of WotC releasing a Book about X, they should have instead released a Book about Y. They don't have Book Y, and think that if WotC didn't release Book X they would have it in their hot little hands now. I don't know what you can do to stop these people from complaining.
