Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 6279160" data-attributes="member: 18">D&D is an RPG. You're treating it as a collector's item or even a religion, not an RPG. You're valuing "tradition" and a specific presentation far more than utility to consumer, value to consumer, or sales to WotC. Specifically, you appear to regard "three books" as a Holy Cow.Your analogy continues to make no sense. There is nothing about presenting D&D as one book with two optional books rather than three books which makes it less of a "steak dinner" and more of a "burger". If you want an analogy that works, and you want D&D to be a "steak dinner" (which is a bit crass/bourgeois, but whatever), then you could use the following:1) You want D&D to be three neat, separate plates - one with the green vegetables, one with the potato-dish, one with the steak. Each with a lot of extra space and everything presented perfectly in a gourmet-restaurant-style (rather than a steak-restaurant-style). With perhaps optional sauces and so on.Most people who go the restaurant will only order the steak by itself without those dishes, though, even though you like all three.vs.2) Others are suggesting D&D should be one larger plate, with the steak, green vegetables and potatoes all presented fairly neatly on it, but together, but perhaps with fewer vegetables and potatoes than the three-plate version, and an option to get extra ones.Everyone who wants the steak has to get the vegetables and potatoes with it.Either way, you're getting a steak dinner. It's just the you have a strong preference for the three-plate layout.</blockquote>
