As an example, I'd like to challenge people to compare our Paladin book with the recently released Quintessential Paladin and tell me that the content of our book would not hapily replace about 50% of its content.  Thats probably being a bit boastful, and maybe I'm wrong, but at the very least you'll see how well FH: Paladin compares to a high quality print product (Q.Paladin is great <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ).  I'd also like to see a peice of artwork superior to Phil Morris' excellent interior cover for Unearthed Adventurers (but thats just me plugging Phil, cos he's a mate, rather than the book, understand <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )I get the impression that WotC are ignoring the pdf market because they feel that pdf products are damaging the overall quality of D20.  Personally I think they could do a lot, in general, to support some of the better pdf publishers (even if that ends up not being us) in order to boost the overall quality and recognition of d20  pdfs.I'll let you get back to your fiscal deliberations...Cheerio,BenPS Sigil - Kid on the way? Congrats. My no. 2 is due on the 21st (which means I had to edit Unearthed Adventurers myself <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />)</blockquote>
