[QUOTE="TrippyHippy, post: 6237703, member: 27252"] Then stop calling it a "starter set", which is your own chosen moniker, and start calling it what I have been calling it - 'The Core Rules' - which provide full rules (200-300 pages of written material) and still fits easily into the box alongside the dice and sheets. Stop arguing at cross purposes with what I am suggesting. Where is the statistical evidence of this? The only thing I've ever read that loosely relates to this was that WotC felt the moniker '[I]Advanced[/I] Dungeons and Dragons' confused people and possibly put off casual gamers. How does providing alternative formats of the game hurt sales. It's not as if each game is eating out of each others profit margin - they're not competing products, their the same thing! It's an irrelevance to those gamers who [I]don't want to use[/I] the internet to support their gaming habits. Evidence from gaming companies suggest that this a significant proportion of the market as a whole. [/QUOTE]
