[QUOTE="kaomera, post: 5499014, member: 38357"] Maybe I'm reading you wrong, but you seem to be looking at this as essentials existing outside of core D&D? What I was trying to point out is that I never got that impression. The article you linked over and over again refers to the essentials products as "Dungeons and Dragons", and from my experience so far I've found that all 4e is core 4e, with a few minor gray areas in some of the setting-specific material (spellscars, dragonmarks, wild talents, and even those are widely argued for as core). And anything that's core is liable to get support in upcoming products. I think at least part of what you're saying is that there's specific stuff you'd like to see supported, that doesn't seem like it's going to get that support. That's a bummer, for sure, and I don't really know what to say to that. On the one hand I'd hope that improved quality control would mean that when that support arrives it's more likely to be useful, but it also looks like WotC is in the same cash-flow bind as everyone else and is scaling back production. But it looks like (to me, at least) there's going to be a bunch of different stuff in Hos. Maybe none of it (or not enough to make it worth your while) will appeal to you, but hopefully there will be some kind of goodies in there for you... [/QUOTE]
