This has the potential for eight! Core books for the three games. Three stand alone game rule books, three setting books. A players rule book, and a combined sum total rulebook with everything.

Plus three betas, three beginner games, sourcebooks, supplements and adventures. And action figures, soap, trading cards, comic books, novelizations, movies, TV shows, maybe even a holiday special if we are very lucky...

You forgot Flamethrower.

No, the flamethrower comes with the Holiday Special supplement. It's the only way to scrub the experience from your brain.

I"m not suprised that FFG is reprinting the "engine" for the three different corebooks. While they are intended to be compatible, they will function as a stand alone product, so an individual might not have any interest in EotE and AoR, but eagerly awaiting F&D. The additional material could certainly help them, but if they aren't willing to pay out the $120 for the other books, I'm not going to fault them for that.

Yeah, this is going to be a money sink like the original WOD was. Of course, I am going to shell out the cash and enjoy the absolute heck out of it.
