[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6562060, member: 22424"] Why do I not think the format works, or why do I think WotC doesn't think the format works? :) The reason I don't think it works is about price points - the two ToD books are rather thin for a rather hefty RRP. Partly this is due to them being in hardback, and partly because there's a minimum reasonable price WotC have to charge for a book to be worth printing at all - I don't think we will [i]ever again[/i] see a D&D book from WotC with an RRP of less than $30 (okay, plus or minus a few cents). But they can probably produce a single-volume path with double the page count for $40 and both give people a better deal and make more money themselves - everyone wins. The reason I think WotC thinks the ToD format doesn't work is quite simple: they're doing something different with PotA. Of course, I may be wrong on any and all counts. I don't discount that possibility. :) [/QUOTE]
