I don't know that another wave of hardbound books is on the way, but printing/binding costs may have changed in the last few years.<br /><br />If this is really an attempt to bring older sensibilities back - even if it's just marketing - then they have to know that price point can be a killer.<br /><br />I think, in terms of overhead, this is going to be as lean as possible.scottszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327316054801308727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-40647860449227525192012-01-16T13:50:39.001-06:002012-01-16T13:50:39.001-06:00My guess is that "modular" means they...My guess is that "modular" means they're going to go the route they've been going, where they sell you a couple of classes per book and you're going to end up buying a big stack of $40 books.<br /><br />I hope I'm wrong, though.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596442998967851832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-59691151212621755072012-01-16T13:50:33.777-06:002012-01-16T13:50:33.777-06:00Scottsz, I would like to think that would be a goo...Scottsz, I would like to think that would be a good cost but I won't bet the farm on that one. I HOPE it is not digest sized, in fact if they do that again, I will NOT buy it. <br /><br />The digest sized books get killed in my bags and they don't fit well on my shelf either.Rhonin84https://www.blogger.com/profile/12705745087341419896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-19131136283088396232012-01-16T12:59:33.606-06:002012-01-16T12:59:33.606-06:00Hopefully, they'll keep it to $20 and a smalle...Hopefully, they'll keep it to $20 and a smaller physical size than the Essentials red box (I'm thinking the SJG Munchkin size for the box might be ideal).<br /><br />The idea of separating the miniatures/tactical from the core RPG is a good one, in my opinion. If nothing else, it might be a distinct 'channel' of D&D that can give harbor to the devoted 4th Edition players.scottszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327316054801308727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-55059857867550753732012-01-16T12:42:44.434-06:002012-01-16T12:42:44.434-06:00I will wait and see what price points we are looki...I will wait and see what price points we are looking at here. I like the idea of a basic boxed set and I like the idea of an advanced set...<br /><br />I won't like this if we end up having to pay 39.99 per set though...Rhonin84https://www.blogger.com/profile/12705745087341419896noreply@blogger.com
