Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dire Bare" data-source="post: 5772394" data-attributes="member: 18182">While I want to see even tighter integration between the print products and DDI, WotC has to add something to the mix for print products that isn't easily replicated online.  They've already started doing this with boxed sets that surround "standard" game books, but add tokens, maps, props, etc.  Something Essentials got right, in my opinion.I'd be happy with Essentials-sized digest softcovers, but my favorite rpg book size/shape is the current Mutants & Masterminds game (3rd Ed?), or at least the DC version I purchased at release.  It's roughly the size of a graphic novel (makes sense), and wasn't as bulky as the "standard" but still felt solid in my hands.I would love to see Essentials-style boxed sets . . . or better yet, the style used for the new Gamma World and D&D board games.  Give me a complete (if basic) rulebook with lots of toys . . . it might be expensive ($50-60?), but worth it.To make later supplements attractive in print form, I'd love to see important, major supplements get the full-sized, hardcover, full color, big-book treatment.  Ptolus!!!  Well, maybe not quite that big, but big and meaty, no more of those skinny hardcovers from 4E.  Imagine the next Manual of the Planes, or Draconomicon, being a true TOME!  Again, expensive, sure.The ideas I propose would be expensive in print form, but could easily co-exist with less expensive "basic" D&D releases . . . and if all of it was available in ebook format through DDI at subscription or by microtransaction, those who don't want to pay for the big books and boxes wouldn't have to.  Maybe throw some one-time use coupons in the box sets or books for the electronic upgrade . . .</blockquote>
