[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 5326192, member: 11821"] Honestly, the WotC model pretty closely matches my actual historical buying habits. I buy the core setting book, a "monster" book if one is available, and call it a day. More details actively hurt my preparation, believe it or not. If there's canon, I feel a drive to follow it. If there's no canon, I feel a lot more free to improvise. So yeah. Two books per setting is perfect for me; I wouldn't buy any more than that, even if more were offered. (The last time I bought more than this for a setting was for Arcana Evolved. The extra books, IMO, largely damaged the setting instead of helping it. Transcendence had one good chapter, and a lot of added complexity. Mystic Secrets was just more complexity, too. The Spell Treasury helped kill off my mid-high level game with the new options for casters.) -O [/QUOTE]
