[QUOTE="Tom B1, post: 8723645, member: 6879023"] It seems to me if I'm wanting to cover what was published (from the games' publishers- trying to track all the third party and/or free stuff would be an immediate roll vs. sanity with a large a serious penalty....), I should really try to date the edition as being form the first published product identifying itself as in that new version to the last formally published supplement or adventure. That's ugly enough to determine, let alone the notion of later errata or earlier sort of 'half edition' work like D&D Next was. Anyway, I'm just being a bit OCD for no real reason except I do like to understand where things fit in the heirarchy. I have books I bought that I probably cracked once for a scan and never made it into them again as I recognized they weren't going to be as useful as I thought (or I though I might need them later to steal from for ideas or some bits, but never did realizing I could bash up most of them on the fly). Once upon a time, I was buying all the books so I'd have rules for everything (Sandstorm... I'm looking at you) but I realized I didn't need a full set of rules for things used once in a campaign IF you happen to pass through that terrain. My old Wilderness Survival Guide from AD&D gives enough almost-system-neutral stuff to never need anything new - though some of the mechanics were very clunky, the info they tried to embody can be used in simpler ways in at-the-table ways without too much reference. It still has one of the best descriptions of spotting in daylight or nighttime and what factors pertain along with good discussions of alternative vision capabilities. I don't feel now I need a hardback to of 64-128 pages for any environment, what I really need is 2-5 pages of fast crib notes for that environment but that wouldn't sell a $25 book.... (like any books are $25 any more....). Tom [/QUOTE]
