I'm most definitely not comfortable with the way "the plan" sounds. I'd rather see a Psionics Handbook, than psionics thrown into a mind flayer mini-setting. This is a great example of why I have issues with that model; I really, really like psionics, and have used them IMC since 1E. I really, really dislike aberrations and the idea of the Far Realms. I actually don't get why they seem to have become tied together. I've learned to deal with a certain amount of Far Realms in my psionics, but this sounds like I'll have to wade through a bunch of flavor text that I active dislike in order to pull out rules that I really want. I'll reserve final judgement until I've seen how they do the Elemental Adventures supplement, next spring.I've also gone into great depth, in other threads, just how little love I have for the "living rules" concept. I had some hope that they weren't going to go the errata/reprint of the PHB route, but Mike's comments sure seem they will.Right now, I'm really concerned that 5E will end up being an amazing set of rules (really, the best edition, yet, IMO) that gets spoiled by absolutely insane release/packaging schemes.</blockquote>
