I already have them :) I agree they are not essential, I never said
they were, but they do offer variation and flavor and expand on stuff
the PH already covers(Just like the Grimiore and Seattle SB do).

yes, but it never ceases to amaze me. The more they try to streamline
their product, the less intrested I am in it- it's for this very reason
few of my games take place any time after 2055('94), because after that
their book quality kina plateaus...
I guess it just boils down to me not being intrested in what everyone
else is intrested in...
