That's not quite accurate. The SETTING was created as a background for tabletop RPGs and then Steve decided to write books that take place there.

The author should be working towards resolution, not throwing in more and more random events and characters just to create a reason to write more books in the future. It sounds like the fantasy equivalent of a soap opera.

He did resolve it. The entire thing is a ten book series with an ending and is already complete. They are all included in the bundle. A ten book series sounds daunting to me. But the first five books work as stand-alones, so I'm still going to give it a shot.
For me at least, it is worth the purchase, even if I don't read all the books. Plus it helps charity. (Does anyone else see what charity the bundle is funding before buying?)
