At the same time, if WotC took the material they put in the revisions into the SRD, then no one would actually need to buy them in order to keep playing. I mentioned several things that I think would make a new PHB a worthwhile investment for me, and as I think about it, using the new creature description format would make me buy a new MM as well. As far as the DMG goes, how about taking the luck rules from the new complete scoundrel and making them core? I think a lot of GMs would see the appeal to that right away.All of this presupposes that there is a sizable amount of new rules content that comes out that is evolutionary for the current edition, and is also of high quality as well. It also supposes that the material is made available to the SRD. What makes the cut? Well, that's the decision for R&D to make back at WotC central. It's not too hard, however, to see the rules that have come out and really struck a chord with people over the last few years, and it's also a situation where there would be years of playtesting with these rules to see if any tweaks or changes were necessary before they made it into the core three rulebooks.--Steve</blockquote>
