'Fraid not. It makes the books that much more useful to the couple thousand D20 fans out there--and we need them in on the book too. That said, it's not that big of a chunk.

Remember too that *everything* inside has been increased as well. The word count per page is up 25%, the margins are down, the type size is down. I think you'll still find it well worth your dinero. And I don't plan on raising the price of 128-page books as most everyone else is doing right now.

On average, of course you'll get a little less stuff than you would buying a standard dedicated sourcebook for one line, but I think *what* you get will be much more useful. In other words, I think you'll get less "words" out of the book *if* you're only playing one line, but more *use* out of what remains. If you're playing or even just reading all the lines, you'll get *way* more than you used to--esp. in usage.

But as usual, check it out at your local game store and decide for yourself.
