[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6317637, member: 22424"] Yep, that sounds a pretty cool product, though as Quickleaf says I'd like to also see dice, pencils, character sheets, and (especially) miniatures thrown in. Plus, I'd much rather see such a product containing a [i]new[/i] Adventure Path rather than one simply collecting up an existing path. The problem with a collection is that it causes big issues with sales volumes: firstly, the product itself sells poorly because too many people already own one or both of the softcover books; and then it causes [i]future[/i] Paths to sell poorly because people choose to wait for the "deluxe version" to come out. It's basically the old "competing with yourself" problem again - and you've probably turned one reasonable success into two individual failures. ('course, the other problem with boxed sets, at least in the UK, is that as soon as you include dice and/or minis it shifts from being a 'book' to being a 'game', and so incurs both import duties and VAT. That's why the 5e Starter Set costs $20 in the US and $35 over here.) Speaking for myself, yes I would. For a deluxe product like that, especially one that includes everything I need to play for a full year, I'd quite happily spend $150 or more. Provided, of course, I would be reasonably sure that the quality would be there - at the present time I wouldn't buy such a product from WotC, but if Tyranny of Dragons does turn out to be a good one then I might consider it for their [i]next[/i] Path.
