[QUOTE="GM Dave, post: 5819371, member: 6687992"] I voted for one book since it will hopefully be pdf'd either by WotC or another group. One place that I can go and search for stuff is far more valuable then having to hunt through three different books for information. Given the need for WotC to produce materials on a regular basis (you don't produce then you fall off the edge of the map); there will be plenty of future months for additional books. Consider the first year will likely break up some class and playable races (Drow and some sort of Gish class) in Forgotten Realms material like 4e. Most of the classes will be fairly 'bare bones' for spells, feats, and options in the basic book. It would be nice if your 'book' or 'collection' of material was expandable to accommodate the new material. WotC did some of this when they were doing their editing updates by providing corrected 'pages'. I like the feel of a hard book but the essential soft books are just easier to carry around and use. A binder though is practical for the ability to replace pages with the corrected material and to add in new material. Star Fleet Battles found the binder 3 punch whole approach was good because the material was constantly changing and evolving. 5e will likely have much of this and all those hard backs are good for either building muscles or damaging your back.
