[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 5355110, member: 59082"] Yes, I know. It wasn't my intention to follow WotC's definition, which is basically meaningless, as you point out. In other words, DDI ;). Players might outnumber DMs 4:1, but I would guess that DM's purchasing at least four times as much stuff as player's, if not significantly more. This is just anecdotal, I own about 30 4E products; each of the other five members of my group own a PHB (because I asked them to purchase it), and I am not sure if anyone owns anything else other than dice and maybe a PHB2. So the DM in my group (me) owns over 80% of the total 4E books, and probably more like 95% of the total RPG books. My group might be on the extreme side although I'd guess that the average primary DM in a group owns 50% or more of the total books. Huh? I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, or why you are, or sound, irked. Again, what's your problem? What am I saying that is offensive or is controversial at all? I'm trying to be open to them! Actually, I don't even mind the digest books, as long as they aren't used for everything. I really like the RC, for instance, but I don't like the "Sundering of the [I]Player's Handbook." [/I]I would much rather have seen the two [I]Heroes [/I]book as one hardcover, say [I]Player's Handbook 4.[/I] Yes, that was pretty much the gist of my OP. DDI is becoming more and more the focus of the D&D rules, thus "The New Core Rulebook." As for the books' draw, I think it is simply that most people still prefer a nice paper copy, both to enjoy on their bookshelf, browsing through on the couch, or using at the game table. Unfortunately it is looking like the price point is already going up to $25, though ([I]Class Compendium [/I]and [I]Mordenkainen's [/I]are both $24.95, although their format remains to be announced). True. I doubt it. [/QUOTE]
