Truth be told, the entire 3.5 thing still sticks in my craw, and it's made worse for the fact that they're requiring Arthaus to reprint their core Ravenloft books in order to maintain the license on the setting. I also don't trust that they won't have another edition up-date sometime in the next four years. The stronger integration of miniatures into the game also doesn't quite float my boat. Their books also have a severe lack of flavor to them, and are rather dry, mechanic-filled reads. But that's not particularly new. Then again, what books they are making as of late do tend to nab my interest - Christmas brought me the Book of Exalted Deeds, and while it had a rather simplistic take on morality in the game, all the new stuff it offered up was rather snazzy, and then I'm really looking forward to seeing what's in Unearthed Arcana when it finally comes out. While some of their other stuff doesn't quite grab my attention - the Draconomicon, for example - I do see how it appeals to others, and might be on my list of things to get were my wallet a bit better filled. I'd little interest in the Complete Warrior to begin with, but the things I've heard have made me change my mind, just a little, which is a lot more than I can say about Sword and Fist, which even now still doesn't particularly appeal to me. There's also no getting around the fact that their hardcovers, at the least, look good, at least at a glance. So all told...rather neutral. I gave no vote due to that. They definitely could be doing things better, but conversely, they're creating products that I'm interested in buying and while their great books may be few, most at least hit the decent mark that other companies don't always seem capable of in my opinion.</blockquote>
