[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 4037158, member: 9053"] If there is no real official SRD available, and the one available through the DDI is not accessable offline, I suspect there will be large numbers of unofficial such products cropping up in gaming groups around the country quite soon. This is another inexplicable change, frankly. Having a freely available SRD for the core rules made countless sales for WotC, both in core products (I know many DMs who use online resources but bring their books to game) and in expansion products (I know many players who don't own the core books, but buy supplemental material). I think many of these decisions, as they appear now, are being made by people who don't understand their market. As I've said before, there may be an attempt to market 4E to an entirely new group, but I certainly haven't seen it yet. It will doubtless be interesting to see how that progresses. --Steve [/QUOTE]
