Did you feel like this was less of a collectible, something that would last for a long time in your library, or more like a throwaway wad of tissue? I sure did.
Not hyberbolic at all, really. |
Yes, it is. I paid $30 and not once has any ink smudged. Adventure modules have never felt like books; they feel like little 32 page magazines. As such, they don't stay open or feel like a book. They stay open like a magazine.
I feel like it's not really a collectible, but then again I bought it because it's an adventure module - not as a collectible. It will last for a long time in your library, so long as you don't read it with sweaty hands in a hot/humid environment. I've read it five times now to get a good grasp of the content. I haven't had one smudge, because I read in the shade.

Back to the OT, interesting discussion. I'll have to watch how this plays out.
