[QUOTE="lkj, post: 7766425, member: 18646"] I love the idea of this. However, from a business perspective, I think the problem is opportunity costs. Creating such a high end product would presumably entail quite a bit of effort on their part and be relatively pricey to produce. Maybe they could move enough units to make a profit, but for the same effort they could probably make a lot more money doing something else. Combine that with trying to keep a relatively constrained set of releases to avoid market splitting and confusion, and I think the incentives for a deluxe printed Greyhawk product aren't strong enough. (And I don't think 'sastisfying the Greyhawk lover market so they'll stop complaining' will put it over the top) Now, if they produce a lower end pdf (ala Eberron) and manage to build a lot of support for it through that process, I can see it happening down the road. The other avenue is doing something very clever with their 'Sword and Sorcery'= Greyhawk angle and sell it as a major product release. Not because it's Greyhawk but because it captures something that their previous products haven't. AD [/QUOTE]
