[QUOTE="Saracenus, post: 5749120, member: 47839"] Um, I think the military calls this "recon-in-force." However there are problems with your model. 1. You would have a massive [s][COLOR=DarkOrange][B]tomb[/B][/COLOR][/s] tome, bound in leather, with high grade paper. None of these would be cheap. That introduces bias, because there are plenty of folks who will not purchase these "super-deluxe" versions of the rules because the price point is too high. 2. Page count between editions would vary, meaning that earlier editions would edge out newer editions on price point (less pages = less cost). Again bias. 3. ROI. Sure the content has been written but you still have to devote resources (money, labor, time, etc.) and still get a [B]return on investment[/B]. Not to mention the opportunity cost of producing new versions of older editions vs. what you could get by creating newer content that supports your current version or a brand new version. In short, this is not a good idea at all. Its cheaper to do marketing surveys and customer studies to determine what direction would potentially be more profitable. My two coppers, [/QUOTE]
