[QUOTE="fanboy2000, post: 5354525, member: 19998"] 1. You're way behind. People have been citing the rules online since the SRD was posted. The SRD was rules headquarters 10 years ago. Look at any rules heavy 3.x thread, most of the time people cite the SRD rather than the rulebook the passage they're citing was printed in. 2. So what? I'm being serious here. You've taken your opinion and framed it in objective conclusory language: "D&D Insider is the one and only core rulebook." and "DDI is core - it is the primary rules set, and everything else is secondary". You used core rulebook knowing it's both a marketing term and (I suspect) that it has special meaning to many people. Where do you expect this thread to go? 3. Based on what we know, the books are developed first. Also, we don't know what percentage of D&D players use DDI. In order for DDI to be a rules headquarters it would need to be where most people get their rules. Without that statistic (or a way of deriving) you're just speculating. 4. I'm sorry, but this post is to conclusory for my purposes. You have a valid opinion, and you make good point about the cost of entry. But it's surrounded by language that seems specifically designed to inflame because of the way you have stated your opinion. Because of the above, I predict that there will be a back and forth between two posters who have different opinions on the meaning of the word "core rulebook" and each will use it's meaning in prior editions to support their claim. No one will change their mind. You will make many posts stating "that's not what I meant." [spoiler]Of course, now that I've predicted it, people will likely try to avoid having the thread devolve into that. That would be nice.[/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
