[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5703538, member: 177"] Was it, really? And what does "Golden Age" really mean, anyway? Nor would the players. Do remember that times have changed, and the players with them. The 1e era was a time when there was no electronic distribution of content, no video games competition to speak of, and widespread cable TV was still in the future. D&D now sits in a world of ever-faster delivery of your choice of content. One book a year simply won't compete. The 1e era didn't have one well playtested, copyedited, and produced book a year. The game of that time was poorly playtested, haphazardly designed, and had uneven editing and production values*. But still it was your "Golden Age"? Setting that aside... such a thing might be more useful to you. But are you sure you speak for the rest of RPG players with that statement? One book a year means that if my personal preferences don't get addressed in that book, they don't get addressed at all that year. How is it more useful if I don't get any content I want for a whole year? [size=1]*Let it be noted, however, that I still like the game - I think that good ideas and style usually trumps solid playtesting and design.[/size] [/QUOTE]
