There is always room for improvement.And that might be a step in the right direction. I have a feeling that it isn't.Egalitarianism has nothing to do with this.What's the buy-in cost to get into D&D? For the average person out there in the world, not the grizzled gamer veteran who knows where to find the best deals.I think that the high cost of entry means that very much so fewer groups are forming "in the wild," as it were. Not only that, but the "everything is core" model probably indicates to those not in the know that you need all these freakin' books, which probably doesn't help.This could be done without the supplement mill. Probably even easier than with it.</blockquote>
