[QUOTE="theapoapostolov, post: 7808179, member: 7015865"] Wizard of the Coast has also licensed premium-quality versions of their recent storylines. I think there's a market for this sort of products between DM who want to feel professional, and collectors. Most people don't need products of that level because the imagination is the main asset, not the material components. To most people these high premium games may as well not exist, and will not be missed. As for more expensive RPG product lines, the book market, in general, has leaned towards higher quality and higher production costs material as a main differentiator from the chase to zero PDF market. RPGs have been affected by the Kickstarter effect where the more premium the product looks and feels, it is likely to appeal to a larger audience who perceive its value higher. I tend to agree that this allows some products to shine stronger on their artistic feel or sheer amount of content that can scale on a sizable budget. This is a welcome direction on the market as long as not taken too far, and it looks like it is very stable and higher cost is usually met with higher content and value proposition. [/QUOTE]
