Von Ether said:I was looking over the new PrC format WotC has and noticed the "Adaption" section, which details how the class can fit in Forgotten Realms, Eberron and homebrews.
I don't know about other DM's but most of these sections seem pretty common sense to me.

A question that really has to be asked is: Why am I buying a product only to have to do umpteen hours of work adapting it on my own? That's fine for those who enjoy reinventing the wheel with every product they buy, but, for me, I want to buy a product and with the minimum amount of effort possible, plunk it down into play. It bugs me to no end to buy a product and then have to completely rework it in order to use it. If including a couple of pages of information as to how this can be slotted into this or that campaign, then it's all good. I wish more publishers would do this. Include ideas for how to fit this into a low magic (Eberron), mid magic (Greyhawk) or high magic (FR) campaign.
Isn't the point of buying stuff to make my life as a DM easier? Why should buying a new book mean MORE work for me? If I'm willing to shell out the thirty bucks or so for the book, then, hey, I want to save thirty dollars (or MORE!) worth of work.

Von Ether said:What's next? Another sentence or two on how a XXX of Hextor fits in a Greyhawk setting?
Psion said:Maybe. Maybe not. I am a big fan of idea-laden product. Any little nugget of an idea might be one that I didn't come up with myself. I think I am pretty creative but as the saying goes, two heads are better than one; two imaginations (or many) are also better than one.
