[QUOTE="jdrakeh, post: 3372915, member: 13892"] For me, I'd [i]only[/i] buy it as a hardcover because I'm both a bibliophile (I am [i]super[/i] anal-retentive about how my gaming books are handled) and a practical hobbysist (i.e., I try to use what I buy in actual games if at all possible). The problem with the magazines for me is that actually using them tends to make them fall apart rather quickly, even if handled carefully (transporting them to game seems to eat them up quicker than anything else, really). And that kicks my obsession with product preservation into high gear. I don't have this problem with throwaway adventures, oddly -- most of the stuff I've seen in Dragon and Dungeon is so mediocre that if an issue burns up after a few game sessions, I could care less. The AP adventures are an exception, as are some adventures from Dragons of old (e.g., Barnacus: City in Peril). Basically, my practicality conflicts with my desire to maintain my gaming material in pristine condition. Hardcovers wear much better for me (I can use a hardcover for years and it will still look brand new at the end of that time period, typically). This is especially true since I gave up smoking (no more yellow finger stains on the edges of non-gloss paper). Now, back in the day (read "when I had a good job and money to burn") I simply bought three copies of every game product that I owned -- a player copy, a GM copy, and an archival copy. In recent years, I've started backing up the products that I own in PDF format and printing a copy for use, while putting the physical product up on a shelf*. So. . . the fact that there will be no AoW hardcover saddens me greatly, as I'll likely never get to see the whole thing :P Damn my obsessions and compulsions. *Before anybody gets all hot and bothered, this use of PDFs is covered under Fair Use.
