[QUOTE="KirayaTiDrekan, post: 6503888, member: 6755061"] I'm a "say yes" sort of GM - if a player wants to use something in a splat book, I'd rather be able to say yes, so I do tend to try to collect them all. I also like to see how a RPGs setting is expanded, detailed and clarified. That veers into the type of splat preference - I'd rather see a lot of new "fluff" than a lot of character options that have little or not context within the game world. I am not a fan of character options for the sake of character options. Same goes for "yet-another-monster-book" - if there's no context for the monster then why publish it at all? So, while I like splatbooks, I'd prefer them to be a bit less frequent than they were in 3.5 and 4E and currently are in Pathfinder. My ideal publishing schedule would be two or three setting books a year that have character options and critters tied to the setting along with one adventure path (consisting of anywhere between 4 and 8 adventures) a year and maybe three or four non-AP adventures for various level ranges. Several books a month is too much and results in power creep, potential for poor quality to creep in, and simply too much to buy if you're a completist or want to give your players what they want or whatever reason you may have for buying stuff.
