A "psionics book" probably won't hit the dollars. Likewise a "Expanded Subclasses" book may not cover the costs IMO. And they're hoarding the concept too: Too cheap to release it in Dragon+, too weak to put out a dead tree book for profit loss.Maybe they could lump it all together, kinda like a Player's Handbook 2 but including subclasses, psionic rules, a "Classic Lore" section for Great Wheel fluff, and high-level-adventuring tidbits. It could be a mix between PHB 2 and DMG 2. It would sell to everyone. Of course, downside is everyone on the internets will call a spade a spade if they see Players Handbook 2. They will claim that WotC has run out of ideas, the sky is falling, etc ... Think of the backlash and negative publicity !Re: Digital ToolsI'm very wary of digital tools vs cost, because for raw entertainment value you get Much More Gametime (and many more fellow players) just by buying a Playstation or Blizzard game. Parents already buy Xboxes for their kids... It's a weighted market that isn't favoring WotC IMOBook / PDFs would be okay for me. Hell, it would save me luggage space. But WotC thinks the market is too tight right now. They could release a book, with a "Secret Code" to download the PDF. But those codes always get passed around on the internet.I think they are waiting for the market / profit to stabalize before releasing PDF downloads. Then they will release ONE book with a PDF download code. They wait a year, and see if the book was profitable. If they lose money, you won't see PDFs ever again.</blockquote>
