[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 5416673, member: 58416"] There are other rpgs which do something similar, and it seems to be working for them. They have free previews which give you enough from which you could play. You don't *need* to buy the other suppliments, but many people still do because they appreciate the quality of the suppliments. I would in no way claim they make as much money as WoTC from D&D. However, from what I can tell, they are doing well enough to turn a profit without needing to bend their products to fit some sort of assumed target market of today. DDi, to some extent, is -I think- a similar model. Though, if I may be so bold to make an assumption, I think there were a few very critical stumbling blocks in the beginning which left some number of people sour to it. The first impression is often a lasting impression; it's hard to look at new materials with a fresh set of eyes when you're already predisposed to negativity due to previous experience. [/QUOTE]
