Hussar
Legend
So I'm gathering this adventure is really, really, good. I'm getting pretty interested. But... urgh, as someone who has never purchased a published adventure before, ~$50 just seems like a lot to me. I mean, that's how much a core rulebook costs. I only considered the rulesbooks worth it because I'd be using them all the time. What makes books like this worthwhile? I'm not being skeptical or anything, I'm just curious what makes them so fun.
I guess it depends on your point of view.
For example, years ago, I bought the World's Largest Dungeon. Cost about 100 dollars by the time I got it shipped here. That's pretty much double the price of a core book. Heck, I bought all three 4e core books for less than that. So, not cheap.
But, I went on to play over 80 sessions with that single module. That book got used weekly for a bit over two years. From that point of view, it was still a steal. Six people's entertainment for about 300 hours for a hundred bucks? Can't possibly beat that.
So, will it stack up to a core book? Probably not. Your core books will get used every session for as long as you play, so, nothing stacks up to those. But, certainly to any other supplement, 50 bucks is still pretty cheap. It's all in how you look at it. Being able to game for the next year is worth how much?
