[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6271836, member: 1465"] I personally don't care much about the price tag... I'll buy and play 5e if the final version of the [B]core [/B]is good enough for my tastes in all departments (i.e. ease of prep/running, large character variety, respect for D&D tradition, and inspiring art). If I like it and choose to buy it, up to ~200e (I have my limits too) for the whole core set is ok and it's not affecting my decision, but the cheaper the core, the more likely I am to buy some supplements. If the core starts expensive, I'm going to think it has to be enough for me for years, and I'll be unlikely to buy any supplement for a very long time if ever. It's really just a business decision, in 3e they purposefully kept the core books cheap because they were the entry point to the game, but in 5e the entry point will be the Basic product. If they keep their word that Basic is "not a preview", then a price of 20e is perfect to attract potential new and casual gamers including families. However the name "starter set" sound exactly just like a preview... [/QUOTE]
