As expensive as hardcovers are to print, boxed games
really start to shoot costs through the roof.
Personally, I think a problem with the RPG market is that RPGs do not look like games to the average consumer. A game, after all, should be in a box. There should be dice. There should be a board (or, at the very least, cards). And if it's a game, it should be shelved with the games and not with the books.
These days, I'm starting to think that the decline in RPG sales is slightly related to the decline in boxed RPGs. Parents shopping at Borders for a game are a lot more likely to pick up Munchkin -- hey, this looks like a game! -- than they are GURPS.
