Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Halfling" data-source="post: 507930" data-attributes="member: 349">This seems to be a rather knee-jerk reaction, to say the least.T$R received this moniker for many reasons, the main one being that many of their products required and/or referenced many other T$R products. Thus forcing you to purchase additional products if you wanted to play the game complete. WotC understood this, and so tries to keep each book as free-standing as possible. Any material referenced from another source or book has been included. But even this has caused consternation as the perception of rehashed/repackaged material floats about. It just shows that no matter what anyone tries to do, you just can't please everyone. You try to please/appease the majority. Now reprints WILL eventually have to be done for ALL of the books, and errata and errors should be corrected in those reprints. Now given the chance to make some minor adjustments to rules flaws that nearly 3 years of real-world gaming have uncovered, WotC decides to do so.Given that the price of the current core books is already MSRP $29.95 ea, WotC decides to increase the size of the page count for all of the books, yet keep the pricing stable. Corrections, adjustments, rules pulled from other sources, and even some truly new material will all be included.Why? Yes, to sell more core books. WotC has always stated the to 3 books (esp. the PHB) are always the best sellers. I can't fault them for this. Nor can I argue with it. Clearer rules, good presentation, and more material will sell this book, especially to new players.</blockquote>
