[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 6057930, member: 59082"] I think we were writing these posts at the same time, so I missed it - but hopefully I addressed your question in the last post. I agree with you, but think this is best accomplished with two lines - one through box sets and one through hardcovers and other supplements. But to go further into some of your specifics, I think my previous post somewhat answers them in that things like Backgrounds would be part of the "Advanced" game (hardcovers) but not the "Basic" (box sets). The Basic game would likely be relatively similar to the original D&D Next playtest - a stripped down d20 game that is very versatile and allows the "Advanced" game to be played over it, sort of like a suit of a suit of plate armor over leather. The key, of course, would be designing a Basic game that is complete in itself AND can form the basis of a more Advanced game that in turn is still compatible with the Basic game. Easier said than done, but I think it is possible. [/QUOTE]
