One, it means I only have to haul three books and my notebook to the game. Two, it keeps the rules pretty simple, while at the same time allowing for a surprising range of options. I'd much prefer to see WotC go the route of fewer rules and more modules or settings, although I udnerstand why that isn't feasible money-wise.One thing that I do think is interesting is that the first couple years of expansions to the core seem to be pretty well planned out by WotC. Psionics, for example, is being put into its own niche instead of something that is frequently dwarfed by magic. The down side is that certain things that have come to define D&D will be left out of the first three books. The up side is that at least the early splat books will probably involve less power creep and will have clearly defined niches that don't overlap with the core books. That should make the rules expansions more valuable and interesting to many people who usually toss out non-core stuff as being redundant/unbalanced/etc..</blockquote>
