Paizo's approach is interesting. One world made of regions with different "feels". Centering everything on the Sword Coast seems to be an odd choice. You said yourself that going back there with Rage of Drizzt might not be sexy after EE. Is Amazon better? They are selling PHB reprints of the 1st edition. If too many books in one edition is confusing, too many editions might be too. This points to me that confusion among noobs who want to enter the game isn't a very strong preoccupation at WotC. In other words, it isn't why we aren't seeing more books past the APs. Damn you, BRIC! *shake fist in the air*First, UA is not top quality material. It says so in the intro of each article. Second, I'm tired of strawman. No one is advocating the release of 3 books each months and books of poor quality at that. Find a new rebuttle. WotC doesn't necessarely have a great record when it comes to changing business plans when one isn't working the way they taught it was going to. Essentials wasn't a great response to 4e and 4e wasn't a great response to the VP who wanted MOAR(!). Unless the RPG's revenues aren't really that important pass the launch. The video game is going to be. SCL and Neverwinter will get up dates for a long time. Those two are set in the FR. No reason for WotC to drop those in favor of setting who do not have video games. Heh. So what? Organized play isn't optimal to do what you want to do and you have the risk of jerky players/DMs. If you hate it so much do not play D&D in OP. If you like D&D more, well endure it. Not everyone can be satisfied. And I realize the irony of me saying this. With a minimal release schedule, say a splatbook out every 6 months and announced almost 6 months in advanced, don't you think you would have had the opportunity to talk with your friend about the splatbook before he bought it?But even if he didn't and you do not want to disappoint him, so what? Some feat is not well balanced with some other core feat? Tell him. He'll see and so will your other friends at the table. Yeah, two splatbooks a year is not a treadmill. It is hardly a walk around the block. Touché. I do indeed consider the two to be close to a single edition. It depends how much balance is an issue. Home game with friends have great tolerance for imperfection.Yeah well, some stuff leaves very little room for interpretation. Like how the FR are the default setting for a while or how one or two APs a year is what we'll see or how the desire for a triple A video game seems to be very very very important for them and the RPG is a source of content first and foremost.</blockquote>
