I mean I bet very little of the information from Faiths & Avatars changed for Faiths and Pantheons for instance. Whereas as the mechanics/stats do change significantly.See that wouldn't work for me, as you wouldn't get enough crunch with them...until they got smashed that is. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />The world of 2nd Edition. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Nothing would be wrong with it, though I would argue (as I have been doing) that the approach was illogical.Well for a start, I like reading epic/immortal products. Its okay creating my own, but there are no surprises in store for me doing that.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Also it would be a monopoly over a much smaller market, given WotCs distribution and advertising.  Beyond the core rulebooks you are never going to get a book that everyone wants. Which means that you are constantly trying to come up with books that appeal to as high a percentage of interested gamers as possible without repeating yourself. Eventually...because roleplaying is about making the impossible possible.I check WotC fairly regular and I cannot remember too many instances of this, and I am thinking of recent examples like Incarnum and Weapons of Legacy.Elements of the book are going to be Open Content, I just haven't decided exactly which parts yet (I have for the Bestiary - since the texts all done for that).</blockquote>
