Note that I didn't say that the line would get repetitive after three books owing to lack of material. There's enough material to fill more than three books! What Matt and I were talking about was structure . . . Giving all three books similar chapter headings and an equal balance of end-user items to society-level items to general tech rules would probably make them look boringly plug-and-play. Changing up the landscape some would give each book its own feel. For instance, you'd probably want lots of hand-waved end-user items for superheroes, but more invention rules for steampunk and pulp settings. Forcing both to have the same proportions would be less-than-ideal.
