Yes, you could choose to use the SRD and not buy our Player's Handbooks, but we think that most folks will vastly prefer having a bound, illustrated copy of the rules.The answer is simple: We drive sales of the core rulebooks. We want everyone playing RPGs to buy a copy of the PH, DMG, and MM. By encouraging other publishers to adopt our system for their use, we create the largest possible pool of d20 system players.A lot of people have also pointed to the SRD as the justification for the "you dont have to buy it" sentiment, literaly pointing to the SRD as a free upgrade.  My money is with Rich Baker though on wether people will eventualy buy hardbound books if they start using the 3.5 SRD.Hmm, maybe I'm not so crazy after all <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
