Um, hello?
I hate to break it to you. I am *not* a game publisher!!!
Your statement is simply false.
I was asked a question by another poster: namely what the
D&D Players Handbook was worth to me as a core rulebook. I gave
my personal answer to this question. If you want a game publisher's
point of view, talk to a game publisher.
