A large point of the whole d20 license and the OGL was to make it so that WotC would not have to print books with lower profit margins.  They took the move specifically so they could rely on 3rd party publishers to do such things.  A 3rd party publisher (like Mongoose) might well produce the SRD in such a format.  But that's not the same as the full D&D books.Simple?  Yes, but it still costs money and effort.  And it'll cost money and effort and timie to make agreements for new printing as well.  You'll need a bit more convincing an argument than, "a few people at EN World like the idea" to convince WotC.Right.  It doesn't match your pattern of use, so you dismiss it entirely?  Good show of trying to reach a larger market there <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />Rather than dismiss it out of hand, how about suggesting something that might at least partially alleviate my concerns? Like maybe not eliminating the art completely?  Or a system of colored tabs on the edge of the page?  Or at least a note that you intend someone to do a pretty impressive job of indexing?  Right.  And to fit inside your 3.5" by 7" book, a normal character sheet would have to be folded twice.  Which, of course, will rapidly cause the thing to crease and tear.  And which will work even less well for multi-page character sheets.  And which fails to address the fact that the small size book makes a lousy writing surface....Again, rather than simply dismiss, how about offering a solution?  Like a reformatted character sheet or booklet designed to fit in the cover of the small PHB?  If reformatting the book is so darned easy, why not do the same for a character sheet?You'll catch more flies with honey than you will with offhand dismissal <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=":)" /></blockquote>
