[QUOTE="ShinHakkaider, post: 4748232, member: 9213"] Define "greedy". If RPG's are a luxury hobby then people who play role-playing games should automatically pay more than they need to if they want the materials? And if they don't they are being greedy? Is that what youre trying to say? Listen, I used to spend MONEY at my LGS. All through 3 and 3.5 D&D I used to drop cash at my LGS. But then I realized something, I could get most ofthe same books from Amazon for considerably cheaper, free shipping and no tax. That provided me with the incentive most of the time to instead of buying one book I'd buy TWO. At that time I never ran games at my LGS so they were offering me NOTHING beyond the ability to buy the book and I'm sorry as a consumer that alone is not enough to get me to support your store. Now that 4E is out I havent been buying ANY RPG materials from my LGS, but I do try to buy other things there. Hobby tools and the occasional board game as well as a magazine or two. But the fact of the matter is when Amazon ran low on stock of WOTC's Complete Prancy Ponce or whatever they'd reorder from WOTC and WOTC STILL GETS PAID. No matter who I buy from. So call me greedy if you want. I still supported the hobby I have an ENTIRE bookshelf of paid for RPG's to prove it. And that doesnt include all of the 3x and prior editon stuff I donated to a library a few years ago. [/QUOTE]
