[QUOTE="Warunsun, post: 6388736, member: 6688054"] [b]Premium Hardcover Settings![/b] I would buy these mythical 400 page hard covers especially if they were system neutral. A campaign book like this could be evergreen and apply to any edition or even the 6th or 7th edition. :) With that large of a page count you could have chapters on different eras of the settings as well so you could cover the [I]Greyhawk Wars[/I] in a chapter and both the [I]War of the Lance[/I] and the [I]Age of Mortals[/I] for [I]Dragonlance[/I] in the same book. I certainly would buy these campaign books but I have a feeling that Wizards isn't going to sell anything like them. Too expensive to produce and potentially too limited an area of interest. I personally would pay a premium price for them if they were well done and included digital tools like a CD-ROM with printable maps and interesting handouts, charts, and timelines. I think we are going to be stuck with just [URL="http://www.dndclassics.com"]dndclassics.com[/URL] for now. They are slowing releasing a wealth of information on that site. I think the prices for some of the PDFs are quite steep when you consider all the money you must pay to print them out. It would be nice if they would offer a reasonable POD+PDF option. [/QUOTE]
