[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 6557887, member: 42582"] The point of releasing APs is also to get people to buy those APs and play them. That's what the online Basic PDFs are for: to enable people to pick up an AP and play it without needing to deal with a PHB, DMG or MM. What's the "it"? Given that Monopoly is mostly played by children (and their parents), the people paying Monopoly this year are mostly not the same people as those who were playing Monopoly 10 years ago. But it has lasted more than 10 years! What's the reason for thinking that WotC won't be selling PHBs in 10 years time just because many of those who bought a PHB today aren't still playing the game in 10 years time? The attrition rate in many hobbies is pretty high, and I think RPGs are one with a relatively high attrition rate. And off the top off your head, do you have any reason to think that it would be economically sensible for WotC to publish those books? [/QUOTE]
