[QUOTE="TrickyUK, post: 7724319, member: 13504"] There's no option for Core Books in print plus everything else (including stretch goals) in PDF. Not sold on a 32 page softback as must have exclusive. For that reason, I'm out (at the moment, but monitoring stretch goals). Tried to do some quick maths: Numenera corebook $60 (plus shipping from US to UK)+ $20 for PDF (on MCG web store). Can be bought in UK for less than £40 (online with free shipping) in UK + £15 for PDF (DriveThru RPG). Supplement (Into the Outside; 160 pages) $40 (plus shipping) + $15 for PDF (MCG web store). Can be bought in UK for less than £30 (online with free shipping) + £11 for PDF (DriveThru RPG). So for 2 core books and 1 supplement, I would expect to spend £150 (approx.) for print and PDF, including shipping, in UK if I wait for retail release. To get the same from the Kickstarter at the moment I would have to spend $280 (All the Books in Print Pledge) + shipping to UK. Admittedly, I also get a '32-page exclusive glimmer' in print and PDF (worth $20?). $280 equates to £207 according to xe.com today (19 Sep 17). I reckon 1 more 160-page supplement (from stretch goals) will make the All the Book in Print pledge value for money in the UK, give or take a few £s, and depending on shipping costs. This is frustrating for me as I was so looking forward to this Kickstarter - have all existing Numenera products. If their track record is anything to go by, we will see more stretch goals, so this may still become something I back. **EDIT/UPDATE (after hitting 2nd stretch goal)** Misread the pledge level cost. With the Player's Guide now added I would think that the cost to buy at online retail in UK would be around £165; still not enough justify $280 + shipping just yet. Also, to be fair, I should add that buying in the UK may not provide the core rulebooks slip case (which looks nice) and the preview PDF, which is probably similar to existing glimmers ($5). [/QUOTE]
