[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 2581501, member: 10479"] Naw. The primary problem with the pig-piling of books that came out during and toward the end of the 2E era was the lack of consistancy from supplement to supplement and, of course, the undeniable tendancy for power creep from book to book. I don't see that here, for the most part. Most of what comes from WotC could be written by any DM given enough creativity and time (and I suspect all of the writers get behind the screen quite often). Couple that with a strong sense of not-wanting-to-break-the-game among the designers, writers, and the management, and WotC has a good formula for putting out an assortment of supplements that, while they might not all appeal to all gamers, provide a seemingly endless stream of viable, balanced options. The best of the third party companies either follow suit or produce material outside of the genres or rulesets of WotC. The fierce competition in the current marketplace doesn't leave a lot of room for screw ups. [/QUOTE]
