Your customer base is split.Look at it this way.D20 Modern is not as popular as D&D.So less customers...D20 Modern has more styles of play so your senario will only suit a small portion of those customers.So even less customers...Adventure generally sell less than Sourcebooks aimed at character types.So even less customers...You want to make some money publishing an RPG product, try putting in order which would shift more units assuming the same quality of work.- A D20 Fantasy adventure aimed at a party of 4, of about 5th to 7th level.- A D20 Fantasy book sourcebook aimed at the figthers.- A D20 Modern Sourcebook providing weapons/vehicles or gadgets.- A D20 Modern adventure for designed for a SWAT team of about 5th to 7th level.There were modules for D&D out almost as soon as the PHB hit the stands. Its been months now and so far there's really only the ones WotC have provided for D20 Modern.</blockquote>
