[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 5695809, member: 7006"] Well, considering the amount of people decrying the fact that WotC currently [I]isn't[/I] producing book material at the same rate they did three years ago... I find it hard to believe WotC producing books to buy every six years is really that much of a disappointment. You do realize that WotC is in a constant Catch-22, right? Half the people want them to produce new material to purchase every month, and half the people want them to cut out the "bloat" of the system. Guess what? You can't have both. (And I know people will just chime in with "more setting material!", but that's probably the most time and manpower intensive design work there is, if you include all the meetings and organizational structuring necessary to really delve into the new setting and not come up with something that is basically a reprint of 2E and 3E books. Cause god knows the player-based would flip their lids if the new 'Planescape' setting book was 3/4s the exact same fluff material as the old box set.) [/QUOTE]
