[QUOTE="TrippyHippy, post: 6237715, member: 27252"] Yes, I think reference is confused as to what they were actually talking about here. The big split between 'Basic' and 'Advanced' was that there were actually different games - with different rules. That means they each had to have separate lines of supplements. Add on to that, different campaign settings and it's easy to see where the problem is. What I am asking for is [I]multiple formats[/I] for the same game. A Core Box set. A Core Book (or book set). A Core PDF. Heck, why not a Core online game mechanism? It's not eating into each others sales, because they[I] are the same game[/I]. Indeed, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that some gamers actually buy the same game multiple times in different formats. Supplements wouldn't be a problem because they would all be written for the same game. [/QUOTE]
