Ok.. I'm sorry but this to me is utter crap the way this is being done. Set 1 for $30 and look it's level 1-5. Set 2 is $30 and look it's level 5-10, then 3 will be 10-15, and 4 will be 15-20?
Are you serious? $120 dollars for the RPG? How is this anything other than highway robbery? Further sourcebooks costing more is one thing, but to have to pay $120 for the base game essentially? D&D 1-3.x and other games give you 1-20 for just the one book... Separating it out like this... it's worse than what D&D did with 4th edition separating out druids and such to their own book.
Even if you assume a game like D&D has three books, that's not a single world game so the rules are more extensive to allow for many ideas... and I think the other big problem with it for me is the staggered release schedule... Nobody I have ever known would actually play this until the entire game is released... To play for 5 levels then "Sorry guys, the rest of the game isn't out yet! See you again in six months!"...
Also, as for the cost being so high I am also talking cost to PLAYERS... Players need just the Player's Guide... they don't need the other stuff... but most gaming groups I play expect most players to have their own copies of the PG.
