[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 5062365, member: 18182"] It's an experiment. We haven't seen this format in 3rd or 4th edition, and actually even in earlier editions. Sure in 2nd we had the "Complete" book of every race and every class splats, but while serving the same niche this book brings a new format to the game. If this and the tiefling followup do well, we'll see more. This book is "aimed" at those who dig dragonborn and would jump at an inexpensive book all about the race (and, yes, $10 is "inexpensive" nowadays). We get some new background fluff about the race, geared towards players, and a decent sampling of some new crunch. It's also changing up the release model of the game. You could say it's aimed at folks weary of shelling out $20-$40 each month for a new hardcover. The "location" books coming soon are aimed at this purpose for the DM (Hammerfast, Vor Rukoth) I haven't seen the book yet myself, but I'm excited to purchase a copy. I'm also looking forward to the tiefling book, and I'm hoping to see an eladrin book followup as well. [/QUOTE]
