This hurts the industry overall and gamers as well as our favorite, price gouging publishers go out of business or games we enjoy become unavailable because the gaming community decreases on a consistent timeframe, much like the comic book industry...The prices might be something a GAMER is willing to pay but nonGamers see a tag of 40-50 bucks and they won't buy it. That is why D20 Modern failed as an entry level project, the price tag. That is why Urban Arcana failed as a setting book, not a large enough install base on the core product because of the high price. A product like Conan features a cross-over audience, much like STar Wars... not only will gamers buy, but so will non gamers. While Conan is a poorly edited product, Star Wars is more than worth the cost at about ten cents a page, it is a MASSIVE book PACKED with information for Star Wars in general and for the game. Most STar Wars books are worth the price for more than just the gaming material because they are so well researched that they work for a SW fan as a resource of SW information. What makes them better is that they are also a GAME and work as an entry product to gaming and possibly getting the buyer to expand into D&D etc. Then again so many D20 players are griping because of the reprinting of the core rules in the book! AGHH! Shut UP already. If the core rules weren't reprinted that would be 130 dollar for Nancy Drew to buy into the game and now we get back to the bursting of the D20 bubble ordeal.D20 was bound to implode, with a 90 dollar buy in to play the game AT LEAST because you really need all three core rulebooks to play the game in a group. One player is going to HAVE TO buy the core rules... Most games require 30 bucks and there sales do not seem to be falling and their supplements don't seem to be higher priced than the core rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They also seem to do just fine in paperback releases... imagine that.Jason</blockquote>
