Message: <blockquote data-quote="taliesin15" data-source="post: 3487720" data-attributes="member: 22058">I think the main thing is the sheer amount of information out there--buying these supplements is not an issue as I'm never going to buy something I can't look at in some form or another, and as a result, I rarely buy any kind of supplement these days, since they mostly stink--the burnout factor has more to do with the sheer amount of work I have to do as a DM trying to figure out how to integrate material that is rather alien to my milieu. What makes it worse is most of the suggestions are for feats or class variations that seem rather flippant and vapid--really a waste of time, and I don't see the attraction. But that's really a secondary issue to the one of how to integrate supplemental materials from a Swords and Sorcery milieu that is roughly based on late medieval tropes, when the campaign I'm running is in real world times more than a thousand years earlier (early Iron Age).And this isn't even getting into the whole issue of a religious system that is decidedly pantheistic and pagan, where there are no churches, temples, or what most people consider "organized religion," other than being organized enough to show up at a site on Beltaine where all the deities are hailed through song, dance, and ritual...in fact, I'm kind of glad I'm not depending on the gaming industry for works to flesh this out IMC, depending on academic works instead. The contemporary gaming industry, if the current supplements and publications are to judge, would generally make a dog's dinner of such things.</blockquote>
