[QUOTE="IanArgent, post: 3716380, member: 21673"] Uh, yeah. But correct me if I'm wrong, but this [i]is already happening[/i] with the current splatbooks. RPGA uses (most of) the extra sources, the last ffew issues of Dragon & Dungeon have used this extra material, etc. I think you've just discovered the theory of marketing... More costly than a minimum of a $30 hardback book per month? That's what it takes now to be "fully" up to date (give or take). If wizards can break out of the book-of-the-month-club mentality forced on the RPG industry by comics distributors, more power to them. If I can get away with buying 2 or 3 (depending on whether the DMG heads a series or not) rules book s a year, plus 1 or 2 settings expansions, rather than 4 "Races" books, 3 "complete" books, a Monster Manual, and the aforementioned settings books, I'm for it.
