Greetings!

What if Shane were to convert the gray section of the PHB into a .pdf and
put it up as a special item on RPGNow.com? He could charge a fee for it (I'd
be willing to pay a few bucks at least), and then people could print it out
to hand out to their new players? There could also be a "lite" version on
the Pinnacle webpage for handing out at conventions and such.
