Quote from: jadrax;325769It is a premium product because as a product, it is high priced and has low numbers published.

Lower numbers than what? D&D is a product sold in the RPG marketplace. Any designation of budget, mass-market, or premium only makes sense in the context of that marketplace.

Ptolus is a premium RPG product. The Rappan Athuk boxed set is a premium RPG product. D&D is not a premium RPG product.

I don't think there is really such a thing as a RPG product or RPG Market, they are marketed, manufactured and sold as part of the wider game or book market. Sadly resorting to analogy, its like saying a Phantom is not a premium product because it is the best selling Rolls Royce.

And again, its pretty clear what Bradford C. Walker meant in his post, and quibbling with his terminology in no way invalidates his point.

Quibbling with terminology is all that some people have.
