[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 6612748, member: 6775477"] The PHB, MM, and DMG. Everything else is just wants. Request all you want, but they've already implied that this is low priority. As a fellow 1E AD&D grognard, I would like to remind you that the Manual of the Planes was one of the later books in the edition. Planar games just aren't that important. I kind of agree, but would again remind you that Gygax only published Greyhawk by popular demand (he felt that everyone should make their own world). They've said they will support a total of 5 settings for 5E. As has been discussed elsewhere, this doesn't mean 5 campaign setting books, only information for said settings. I would LOVE to see a Forgotten Realms campaign book, or at least a supplement updating the world post-sundering. Everyone wants more monsters. There are rules to create your own in the DMG (kinda iffy, IMO, but at least guidelines). We don't NEED more monsters, but I figure they're adding monsters using the adventures (which was common in early 1E). Honestly, 5E reminds me mostly of early 1E. It had a slower release schedule than later editions, and used adventures to add to the game, rather than splat-books. I wish they'd do more smaller adventures than APs (I don't like APs as a rule), but I accept that I'm in the minority on that. [/QUOTE]
