There's a fair few things I miss from the D&D 3.5e days (probably why I still have a soft spot in my heart for #PF2e), but something I miss from the larger series in general: The little books.

3.5e had kind of a dizzying array of almost zine-like mini books that would add subclasses, prestige classes (I miss prestige classes, too ;.;), etc etc etc. Wizards has kinda been coming back to these in the form of smaller releases on Beyond (Astarion's Book of Hungers, and Lorwyn are the most recent examples), but something tells me I'll never see these books at the LGS - and honestly, that's a shame. Another one of those 'we're not leaving the LGS in the lurch, but we're def leaving them in the lurch.'

Games like #Mothership are almost entirely zine based, though, and they definitely scratch that itch for me, but even so.
