[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 5287895, member: 59057"] No, but after some years of watching, i came to the conclusion that not telling the truth or better say nothing at all is needed to convince many people the sky is not falling... Telling the truth will result in people overreacting and forgetting that we are not livin on a ponyfarm and that you need money to survive. As a corporation and as individuals working for them. And this is why they don´t labeled it PHB 4. Would have created less overreactions here. But would not achieve making the game more accessible for new or lapsed players. Even when PHB4 was printed with 3.5 rules in it, no 3.5 player would bother to look into it. With the label essentials on it, this eacact player could become curious and maybe likes what he is seeing inside. (A reason why heroes books may not be coming in boxed sets, too.) You know, quality and truth is nothing. People want to be blended by advertisement campaigns. If both match more or less (for the common user at least), a product can possibly establish itself.
