There is a market for traditional and non-traditional "board games" and RPG publishers are missing out for some bizarre reason.
I ended up buying Swordpaly and Spellcraft because of the limited Box set offer, so at least one customer agrees with you.

i'm with you - i'd love to see MF or LL in a box for example. i imagine the production costs are quite steep for a little one man "out of his garage" type of company though.
