I think the spells would need more cutting than anything though, and I can see losing a lot of flavor when the spell section is cut from 100 pages to 20 pages. <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=":)" />Monsters, you could just have 30-40 pages of basic monsters, losing all the formating and pictures as they are now. I don't like that way, since having to page flip is already a hassle, let alone when it's all in the same book.But really, a lot of the suggestions about how to fit D&D into 1 book either change D&D in lots of ways (Sure, C&C fits, but if you have to trim so much from D&D to make it fit, why not just have C&C?) or basically amount to ditching higher level material in favor of later books."Do we want Beholders and Mind Flayers in the Core book?""Nyah, players won't encounter them for a bit, so we'll just put them in a later book."Basically, a lot of it sounds more like the "introduction" book I mentioned earlier, and I'd rather see that as a different book rather than replacing the Big 3.(Technically, you dont even need the MM anyway, if you run a world that's all humans, you just make all your opponents with the PHB!)You have everything you need to play on a basic level, just like the Shadowrun 3rd edition rules I mentioned. Sure if you want to advance beyond a certain point you'll need different books, but you can play the basic stuff off the bat.I've played quite a few Single Book games, and that's all well and fine in and of itself, but I always bought extra anyway, so it's meaningless for me. I think the idea that any of them truely are "single book" is a bit off. Except, maybe Hero, isn't that book like 900 pages and stops bullets?<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>
