D&D Insider & the used book market

[Lonely Tylenol]

You mean the kind of blisters miniatures come in? The kind GW uses? Ask an independant retailer (or a gw store manager), how many blisters they find opened or missing a week.

No. Different ones. Ones that are actually difficult to open, and which simply cannot be opened without a knife of some sort.

You mean the kind of blisters miniatures come in? The kind GW uses?

No. The kind that thumb drives, and headphones come in. Much tougher plastic - needs hefty scissors or a sharp blade to get through, and risks cutting your hand open even then...

They already exist and are cheaper. But since WotC stuff isn't OGL stuff, if you want to add Complete Warrior you have to do it yourself by hand, and it's.....

A) A pain in the butt.
B) Hardly ever works exactly right.

Hence DnDInsider offers something they can't official content, up to date and all the hard work done for you. That's it's selling point.

I know, but access to DI will be around $120 a year, that's more then a lot of folk are willing to spend on a web tool. The cheaper tools have the ability to import files, any files. Of course not mentiong that the official files are circulating the P2P networks.

I also have to point out that there never were easy tools to generate the custom files, that might change...
