But the question is: Is it 'flavour' that is useful to someone still playing 3e?All of the 4e books with a good amount of 'flavour' are updates of 3e or 2e books. So there really isn't anything in them for someone who already owns the old books.Personally, I liked several 4e treatments better than previous incarnations of the books. One reason was that they _don't_ have as much 'flavour' as the older books. Imho, they have sufficient 'flavour' _and_ the mechanics to support it _and_ they contain material that can be immediately used 'as-is' in a game session.Older books tend to be very useful when preparing for a session but not so much during a game.</blockquote>
