[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 7783551, member: 6804070"] Sounds to me like a minor evolution in RPG products might be starting. I can envision a new series of adventure box sets and box set expansions for Target and retail chains. Where most are stand alone, but perhaps something like the old expert box set. Then you have the no frills content dense core rulebooks/APs that we have today and that you expect your FLGS to support. Compatible, but different markets. Not sure exactly what such would look like, but sounds interesting to me. Shrugs, I like the FLGS environment but I don't know if I like the FLGS business model. At least not the traditional one. I see FLGS always being a niche market, and not only unable to, but not targets for the depth and breadth of the current and foreseeable D&D market. To me, I see the FLGS model as always being something of a club house, and D&D seems to be growing beyond anything a club house model could fully support (even if Amazon/Target we're not in the picture). An advanced or expert boxed set? Other than expanded rules, what much such look like? Something more than just an adventure and a new DM screen. Maybe a campaign setting or including poster battlemaps? So everyone, what would you put in a follow on box set? [/QUOTE]
