[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 4055110, member: 56189"] I'm neither a publisher nor a writer so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Personally, if I was either, I wouldn't bother with the $5,000 pre-release rules for two main reasons. 1) Sure you'll get the jump on everyone, but the rules you get aren't final until publication anyway, so you'll more than likely end up with higher development costs due to having to constantly change your product to fit whatever changes are made during 4E development. 2) People are going to be broke or at least not willing to spend money on new 4E material until at least a month or two after official release. Everyone will be getting used to learning new rules, conversions of campaigns, getting new players on board, etc. Even a month after I think is probably unrealistic and it will be at least two months before people even start looking at products outside of the core three rulebooks, no matter how good the product is.
