And of course, not everyone comes from playing D&D, so not everyone owns a PHB.
So some would thus favour a game where they only have to buy one book, and not have to buy a D&D rulebook as well.
EG, all of my group owns a Conan rulebook, most of them do not any D&D stuff.

Plus for players who don't want to fork out for a hardback, the Pocket Conan book is perfect :)

What the OGL games need is a cheaper player's book, cut right down, just for making characters.

If done in the format of the Pocket Handbooks, but with say 1/3 of the pages, I think that would work well. I would guess the reason we don't see a pocket handbook for every game on day one is that they would draw sales away from the larger hardback, so it makes commercial sense to release them a year or two later so everyone goes and buys them as well rather than instead :) However, a smaller "Players Handbook" for each game might well be more viable for an early release, not really making an impact on sales of the core book while bringing enough additional players into the game that more GMs are interested in buying the core book... so a small, cheap, players book might even increase sales of the core hardback :)

Alternatively, maybe the non-licensed OGL books would be better in future released straight into the smaller Pocket format?
 
The cover for Dawn of Destruction is up, and pretty beautiful it is!

It would be interesting to know how many copies of the core books were sold worldwide.
 
B5 would have sold more copies if the first 3 prints hadn't been destroyed before completion, and the 4th disappeared just shortly after it went for distribution. So the 5th print run had less money spent on it and so was the smallest of all 5.

:lol:

You mean those prints were destroyed before being published? Wow, those would be very bad news for any product.

Noone else spotted my post above columbob's as a very in reference joke then?

Ah well, my mind is obviously too highly trained!
