[QUOTE="Ranger REG, post: 1003402, member: 533"] Well, they could break the all-in-one core rulebook into a three-volume set for $30 each. :p With the exception of [i]D&D,[/i] any new RPG core rules products from Wizards will always be one singular book for $40. As for the layout, granted I'm not a fan of urban culture with the baggy pants and the displaying your boxer or thong, with the hip-hop music sung by artist with criminal records, blah-blah-blah. But Wizards' best demographic have always been 18-30 age group. As for [i]Urban Arcana,[/i] Wizards' policy is to always cater to the [i]D&D[/i] audience, most of them are casual gamers. After all, that is their largest consumer base when it comes to RPG products. [i]Urban Arcana[/i] allow gamers to make a slow transition from traditional fantasy to modern fantasy RPG. To say you're going to make a completely different product for a different audience that you don't know if they're out there is much more risky. THAT was TSR's undoing. I'm surprised you didn't check out Holistic Design's [i]Afghanistan: d20[/i] and [i]Somalia: d20.[/i] I got them. I like them. The only reason why I'm buying [i]Dungeon.[/i] As I said before, there are a wide range of modern genres. Yours just happen to be hard modern (mixed with paramilitary/military elements). As for me, I've enjoyed [i]Shadow Chasers[/i] (a [i]Buffy/Blade[/i] clone), [b]MECHA CRUSADE[/b] (as a mecha fan, the [i]d20 Modern[/i] core system is appropriate for this type of "sci-fi" genres), and [i]Genetech[/i] (a [i]Dark Angel[/i] "Me wanna chase Jessica Alba in the dark of night" game). For [i]d20 Modern,[/i] or a third-party [i]d20[/i] magazine? [i]Campaign[/i] magazine is one. Printed in pulp (similar to [i]Shadis[/i]) for $5.00 [i]Gaming Frontier[/i] is another. Damn expensive; $20 an issue. [/QUOTE]
