[QUOTE="delericho, post: 3925554, member: 22424"] This is correct. The new books are more expensive because of costs to produce and inflation, rather than any "money grab" on the part of WotC. One might get more traction for a "money grab" complaint based on the Digital Initiative (although I feel it would need to be much more integral to the whole than it actually will be for this complaint to stick). Also, there is some traction to it from the "everything is core" statement, and more specifically the spreading of things that used to be core to the PHBII/DMGII/MMII (and perhaps III). However, WotC is a business, and need to keep an eye on the bottom line. They are there to make money. While it would be nice for them to give us everything we want and could hope for for a nice $50 price tag, they wouldn't make any money doing that, D&D would be cancelled, and the game would be dead. Frankly, I'd rather they treated the business of RPG as a business, and make their money, so that in ten years we'll actually be able to find game groups. [/QUOTE]
